Chapter 7 2.4 GHz Radio Upgrade
Upgrade Overview
Upgrade Overview
This section provides instructions for upgrading the access point 2.4-GHz radio. The following
operations summarize the upgrade procedure:
1. Remove all cables and power connections from the access point.
2. Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures.
3. Place the access point on an ESD-protected work surface.
4. Remove the access point’s back cover.
5. Remove the existing 2.4-GHz radio card.
6. Install the new 2.4-GHz radio card.
7. Replace the access point’s back cover.
8. Install the new compliance labels.
Caution ESD can damage the Cisco Aironet radio and the internal components of the access point. It is
recommended that the 2.4-GHz radio upgrade procedures be performed by an ESD-trained service
technician at an ESD-protected workstation.
Note After you install the new radio, all configurable radio settings will be at default values. Refer to the Cisco
IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points for complete instructions on
configuring the new radio.
