Installing a Card in Slot B
The AP-2500 ships with a metal faceplate that covers Slot B, shown below.

This faceplate is required to satisfy safety regulations for installing the AP in plenum space (see Installing the AP-2500
in a Plenum). You must remove this faceplate to install a second radio card.
Follow these steps to remove the faceplate:
1. Disconnect the power and Ethernet cables from the AP (if necessary).
2. Locate a thin flathead screwdriver.
3. Place the screwdriver under the tab of the faceplate.
4. Apply torque upwards to snap the plate off the AP.

You can install one 5 GHz (IEEE 802.11a) adapter in each AP, or you can use one 2.4 GHz (802.11b) card and
one 5 GHz adapter card.
1. Disconnect power to the AP by unplugging the power supply from the power source or removing the Ethernet cable
from the Active Ethernet power injector.
2. Remove the unit from its mounting location - keep the mounting bracket with the AP.
3. Remove the outer plastic cover.
