Chapter 8 5-GHz Radio Module Upgrade
Upgrade Overview
Upgrade Overview
This section provides instructions for upgrading the access point 5-GHz radio module (RM20A,
RM21A, or RM22A). The following operations summarize the upgrade procedure:
1. Remove all cables and power connections from the access point.
2. Place your access point on a flat surface.
3. For an access point without the 5-GHz radio feature, remove the 5-GHz radio access cover.
4. For an access point with the 5-GHz radio feature, remove the existing 5-GHz radio module.
5. Install the new 5-GHz radio module.
Caution Your access point must be running Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JA or later before you upgrade to the
RM21A or RM22A radio module; otherwise your access point may not be able to complete the boot
sequence until the radio is removed. For additional information, refer to the
“Finding the Software
Versi o n” section.
Note After you install the radio module, 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.

Each 5-GHz radio module is shipped with the following items:
• Quick start guide
• A product registration card
• A T-10 tamper-resistant Torx L-wrench
