Installing the AP in a Plenum
In an office building, plenum is the space between the structural ceiling 
and the tile ceiling that is provided to help air circulate. Many companies 
also use the plenum to house communication equipment and cables. 
However, these products and cables must comply with certain safety 
requirements, such as Underwriter Labs (UL) Standard 2043: “Standard 
for Fire Test for Heat and Visible Smoke Release for Discrete Products 
and Their Accessories Installed in Air-Handling Spaces”.
The AP has been certified under UL Standard 2043 and can be installed 
in the plenum only when the following conditions apply:
•  The unit's plastic cover has been removed.
•  The power supply of the Access Point has been removed.
•  There are two 802.11b cards in the cards slots.
OR
•  There is one 802.11b card and the other card slot is protected with 
the metal faceplate provided in your kit.
