HP 517 802.11ac Unified Walljack Quickstart 4 Installation

Installation

The HP 517 is designed to be mounted in a standard NEMA-WD6 (US) or

BS 4662 (worldwide) electrical outlet box. The mounting bracket is mounted

first, and then the HP 517 is attached to the bracket.

The HP 517 can also be mounted on a desktop or wall (requires an optional

mount kit, sold separately).

Caution:

To ensure adequate heat dissipation, when mounting on an

electrical outlet box or wall, the HP 517 must be mounted in a vertical

orientation, as shown in this document. It must never be mounted

horizontally. Do not install in enclosed spaces or close to or directly above

any heat sources or heat-emitting devices. To ensure proper operating

temperature, there must be at least 15.25 cm (6 inches) of clearance from all

vents on the HP 517. To avoid signal interference, do not install the HP 517

near or behind a large metal surface.

Mounting on an electrical outlet box

The HP 517 is designed to be installed on an electrical outlet box using the

mounting bracket.

1. Run the required network cables through the bottom of the electrical

outlet box on which you are installing the HP 517, allowing sufficient

length for the cables to reach the not-yet installed HP 517.

2. Place the mounting bracket, with the UP arrow pointing up, on the

electrical outlet box, and then use two of the supplied mounting screws

to secure the bracket to the box.

The two shorter mounting screws are for a standard NEMA-WD6 (US)

electrical box. The two longer mounting screws are for a BS 4662

(worldwide) electrical outlet box.

3. Connect the network cable from the box to the RJ-45 Uplink port on the

back of the HP 517. If required, also connect the cable providing support

for pass-through devices to the Pass Through port on the back of the

HP 517.

4. Push the HP 517 onto the mounting bracket on the box, then slide it

down until it is fully engaged. Do not let go of the HP 517 until you

confirm that it is securely in place.

5. Use the supplied small bracket screw to secure the HP 517 to the

bracket.

Mounting on a wall or desktop

The HP 517 can be installed on a wall or a desktop using an HP Unified Wired-

WLAN Walljack Table/Flush Wall Mount Kit, (JL022A), sold separately. For

installation instructions, see the HP 517 802.11ac Unified Walljack Installation
