Installation instructions
The Brocade Mobility 650 mounts either on a wall with wide-shoulder screws or on a suspended ceiling T-bar. This unit is not designed for mounting on a desk.
To prepare for installation, perform the following steps:
- Match the model number on the purchase order with the model numbers in the packing list and on the case of the device shipped.
- Verify that the contents of the box include the intended Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point and that the included hardware matches the package contents detailed in "Brocade Mobility 650 package contents" on page 2.
Part number Description
| BR-AP065060010 802.11a/b/g/n single radio integrated antenna configuration |
| BR-AP065066030 802.11a/b/g/n dual radio integrated antenna configuration |
| BR-AP065060020 802.11a/b/g/n single radio external antenna configuration |
| BR-AP065066040 802.11a/b/g/n dual radio external antenna configuration |
- Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and mounting position for the Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point.
- Connect a CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable to a compatible 802.3af power source and run the cable to the installation site. Ensure that there is sufficient slack on the cable to perform the installation steps.
NOTE
When operating in a Gigabit Ethernet environment CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable is required for Gigabit operation.
Precautions
Before installing a Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point, verify the following:
- Brocade recommends not to install the Brocade Mobility 650 in wet or dusty areas.
- Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0^ to 50^ .
Access point placement
For optimal performance, install the access point away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other industrial equipment. Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors block transmission. Install the access point in an open area or add access points as needed to improve coverage.
Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far away to be not bright enough. An area lit sharply might minimize coverage and create dark areas. Uniform antenna placement in an area (like even placement of a light bulb) provides even, efficient coverage.
Place the access point using the following guidelines:
• Install the access point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
- Orient the access point antennas vertically for best reception.
To maximize the access point's radio coverage area, Brocade recommends conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles before installing the access point.
Integrated antenna model wall mount instructions
This mounting requires hanging the Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point along its width or length using the two slots on the bottom of the unit. The Brocade Mobility 650 can be mounted onto any plaster, wood, or cement wall surface using the provided wall anchors when necessary. The illustration shows a lengthwise mount.
Wall mount hardware
- Two wide-shoulder Phillips pan head self-tapping screws
- Two wall anchors
• Security cable (optional)
NOTE
In the event that the original mounting screws are lost, the following screws can be used instead: (ANSI Standard) #6-18 X 0.875in. Type A or AB Self-Tapping Screw, or (ANSI Standard Metric) M3.5 X 0.6 X 20mm Type D Self-Tapping Screw.

External antenna model suspended ceiling tile (plenum) mount instructions
Ceiling mount requires placing the Brocade Mobility 650 above a suspended ceiling and installing the provided light pipe for viewing the status lights of the unit.
NOTE
Notes or warnings about suspended ceiling mounts apply to all installations where the unit is placed on suspended ceiling tile. The case has a safety wire tie point for a standard safety wire.

CAUTION
Brocade does not recommend mounting the Brocade Mobility 650 directly to any suspended ceiling tile with a thickness less than 12.7mm (0.5in.) or a suspended ceiling tile with an unsupported span greater than 660mm (26in.). Brocade strongly recommends fitting the Brocade Mobility 650 with a safety wire suitable for the specific installation.

Health and safety recommendations
Warnings for the use of wireless devices
Please observe all warning notices with regard to the usage of wireless devices
Potentially hazardous atmospheres – fixed installations
You are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio devices in fuel depots, chemical plants etc. and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders).

Safety in hospitals
Wireless devices transmit radio frequency energy and may affect medical electrical equipment. When installed adjacent to other equipment, it is advised to verify that the adjacent equipment is not adversely affected.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommended that a minimum of 15cm (6 inches) be maintained between a handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with independent research and recommendations by Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with Pacemakers:
- Should ALWAYS keep the device more than 15cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when turned ON.
- Should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
- Should use the ear furthest from the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
- If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn OFF your device.
Other medical devices
Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to determine if the operation of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.
