Caution
ESD can damage the radio and the internal components of the
access point. It is recommended that the 802.11g radio upgrade
procedures be performed by an ESD-trained service technician
at an ESD-protected workstation.
Preparing the Access Point and Work Area
Follow these steps to prepare your access point and work area:
1.
Remove all cables and power connections from the access point.
2.
Place the access point on an ESD-protected work surface.
3.
Remove all static-generating items from the work area, such as plastic
material, styrofoam cups, and other similar items.
4.
Place the access point and the new 802.11g radio (in its antistatic bag)
on an antistatic work surface.
5.
Discharge any static buildup on your body by touching a grounded
surface (antistatic work surface) before proceeding.
6.
Follow standard ESD procedures during all phases of the process.
