Install the Access Point on a Flat Surface Using EIO-04 Brackets

Learn how to install the AP5050U access point on a flat surface.

Before you begin

Note

When installing the access point flat against a surface in a location that uses ice melt, the best practice is to apply an anti-seize material to all screw threads before attaching them to the access point metal base.

Obtain the items shown in the following table.

Table 1. Hardware Requirements for Flat Surface Installation
Item quantity	Description
1	AP5050U access point
4	M6 screws with integral washers
4	75 mm service panel shoulder screws
2	Metal "L" bracket
1	Plastic service panel base
1	Plastic service panel top with one captive screw
4	Concrete anchors with nuts, washers, anchor posts, and anchor sleeves

Procedure

Attach an EIO-04 metal “L” bracket on each side of the AP5050U access point using two M6 screws for each bracket.

Note
When installing the access point flat against a surface in a location that uses ice melt, the best practice is to apply an anti-seize material to the screws before attaching them to the access point metal base.
Torque the M6 screws to 35 in-lbs.
Use the metal “L” brackets as a template, mark four hole centers, and drill in the concrete.
Insert four concrete anchors into the holes without the washers and nuts.
Place the metal “L” bracket over the threaded anchor posts and put on the flat-washer, the spring washer, and the nut on each anchor.
Torque the nuts to 60 in-lbs.
