Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Powering the Access Point
Warning
Connect the unit only to DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
requirements in IEC 60950 based safety standards.
Statement 1033
To connect a DC power cable, you need to supply these tools and material:
• Shielded outdoor-rated DC power cable (minimum 18 AWG) with outside cable diameter of 0.20 to
0.35 inch (0.51 to 0.89 cm).
• Adjustable or open-end wrench
• Small flat screw driver
• Two-pin DC power connector (Cisco supplied)
To connect the DC power cable to the access point, follow these steps:
Step 1 Before connecting DC power to the access point, ensure that the ground is connected to the access point
(see the “Grounding the Access Point” section on page 2-27).
Step 2 Turn off all power sources to the access point, including the DC power source.
Warning
This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to
de-energize the unit.
Statement 1028
Caution When installing DC power to the access point, always connect the access point end of the cable FIRST.
When removing the DC power connector, always disconnect the access point end of the cable LAST.
Step 3 Use a large Phillips or Flat Blade screw driver to remove the Ethernet connector plug from the access
point. Do not discard plug and rubber seal unless you are certain that the port will not have to be
re-plugged. (see Figure 2-29 for the location of the DC power connector).
Step 4 Loosen the thread-Lock sealing nut of the cable gland by turning it counter clockwise, but do not remove
(see Figure 2-20).
Note Verify that the cable gland has a rubber seal and ensure that it is not damaged.
Warning
Failure to install the Cable Gland properly will cause the cable grip to leak.
