Mounting the SteelConnect Access Point Appliances
Mounting the SDI-AP3 and SDI-AP5
If the appliance exhibits unexpected behavior, such as smoking or becoming extremely hot,
disconnect it from the power source immediately and then obtain service assistance.
Environmental Considerations
The following is a list of environmental considerations that will ensure safe and efficient operations of
the appliance:
Ensure that the appliance has at least 12 inches of clearance on all sides to allow for proper
ventilation. The appliance generates heat and requires adequate circulation to maintain proper
operating temperatures. Never cover or obstruct the appliance ventilation slots.
Do not position the appliance near high-powered radio transmitters or electrical equipment, such
as electrical motors or air conditioners. Interference from electrical equipment can cause
intermittent failures.
Do not install the SDI-AP3 and SDI-AP5 appliances in areas where condensation, water, or other
liquids may be present. These may cause safety hazards and equipment failure.
Mounting the SDI-AP3 and SDI-AP5
The SDI-AP3 and SDI-AP5 can be mounted to a wall or ceiling using the snap disk. If a solid mount is not
required, the appliance can be used as a tabletop unit. Distance from the AP to the power supply source
should be considered before mounting the AP.
Note:
For best radio coverage, the AP should be ceiling mounted.
The AP ships with a snap disk, screw, and drywall anchor. Supply the AP with power by either using the
power supply or a Power over Ethernet (PoE). Attach the power to the AP before mounting it.
To mount the AP to a wall or ceiling
1.
Use a power drill to drill pilot holes for the dry wall anchor. Insert the drywall anchor into the pilot
hole.
2.
Place the snap disk over the drywall anchor. Secure the snap disk to the wall by driving the screw
into the drywall anchor.
3.
Place the AP over the snap disk and snap it into place.
