Specifications

Setup and Installation

The HPE AP-MNT-D mount bracket is designed for straightforward installation on solid surfaces to support Aruba 530 Series access points. Follow these general steps for proper setup:

1. Identify Mounting Location: Choose a suitable solid surface (e.g., wall, ceiling, server rack) that can securely support the weight of the access point and the bracket. Ensure the location provides optimal wireless coverage and access to necessary cabling.
2. Prepare the Surface: If required, clean the mounting surface to ensure proper adhesion or secure fastening. Mark the drilling points if using screws (hardware not included with bracket).
3. Secure the Bracket: Attach the HPE AP-MNT-D bracket to the prepared surface. Use appropriate fasteners (screws, anchors, etc., depending on the surface material) to ensure the bracket is firmly secured and does not wobble.
4. Attach the Access Point: Align your Aruba 530 Series access point with the mounting points on the bracket. Gently push and twist or slide the access point onto the bracket until it clicks into place, indicating a secure connection. Refer to your access point's manual for specific attachment instructions.
5. Verify Security: Once the access point is attached, gently tug on it to ensure it is securely fastened to the bracket and the bracket is firmly attached to the surface.

Operating Principles

The HPE AP-MNT-D mount bracket is a passive component designed to provide a stable physical platform for your Aruba 530 Series access point. Once installed, its primary function is to securely hold the access point in its intended position, allowing the access point to operate effectively without physical interference or risk of falling.

Maintenance

The HPE AP-MNT-D mount bracket requires minimal maintenance. Periodic inspection is recommended to ensure its continued integrity and the security of the mounted access point:

• Visual Inspection: Periodically check the bracket for any signs of damage, cracks, or deformation.
• Fastener Check: Ensure all screws or fasteners securing the bracket to the mounting surface are tight and secure. Retighten if necessary.
• Cleanliness: If dust or debris accumulates on the bracket, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

While the HPE AP-MNT-D mount bracket is a simple component, here are some common issues and their resolutions:

• Bracket Does Not Fit Access Point:

  Resolution: Ensure you are using an Aruba 530 Series access point. This bracket is specifically designed for compatibility with that series. Verify the model number of your access point.
• Bracket Feels Loose After Installation:

  Resolution: Re-check all fasteners securing the bracket to the mounting surface. Ensure they are appropriate for the surface material and are tightened sufficiently. If mounting to drywall, ensure proper anchors were used.

• Access Point Does Not Securely Attach to Bracket:

  Resolution: Ensure the access point is correctly aligned with the bracket's mounting points. Apply firm, even pressure or twist as per the access point's installation guide. Do not force it. If it still doesn't attach, inspect both the bracket and the access point for any obstructions or manufacturing defects.
