2Preparing for installationWARNING!Install or remove the AP under the guidance of technical engineers and read this chapter beforeinstallation and operation.Examining the installation siteBefore installation, examine the installation site to make sure the AP will work in a good environment.Installation site selectionIn engineering design, the site must be selected according to the network planning and technicalrequirements of the communications equipment, and the considerations such as climate, hydrology,geology, earthquake, electric power, and transportation.Keep the AP away from high temperature, dust, harmful gases, inflammables, explosive substances,electromagnetic interference sources (heavy-duty radars, radio stations, or electrical substations),unstable voltage, heavy vibration, or loud noise. The installation site must be dry, without anyleakage, dripping, or dew.Temperature and humidity requirementsItem SpecificationOperating temperature –40°C to +65°C (–40°F to +149°F)Storage temperature –40°C to +85°C (–40°F to +185°F)Operating humidity (noncondensing) 0% to 100%Storage humidity (noncondensing) 0% to 100%Power supplyThe AP can be powered by a power injector.You can use an H3C PoE power injector to power the AP. For more information about powering theAP through the power injector, see "Connecting the AP to the ."NOTE:No power injector is shipped with the AP. You need to order one separately.Grounding and lightning protectionThe AP must be reliably grounded. Make sure the grounding conductors are separate and treatedwith corrosion protection.
