The UBIQUITI NETWORKS UAP-AC-HD uses the same mounting hardware as the UAP-AC-PRO, so you only need to remove the older device and replace it with the new one. To begin the upgrade:

1. Insert the release tool into the security slot to disengage the lock.

2. Turn the device counterclockwise and lift it off of the mounting bracket.

3. Unplug the Ethernet cable from the main port.

4. Proceed to the Connecting Ethernet section to install your UBIQUITI NETWORKS UAP-AC-HD.

Follow these steps for a wall mount installation:

1. Position the mounting plate at the desired location on the wall with the arrow pointing up.

2. Mark the four mounting holes marked A and use an 8 mm drill bit to drill the holes. If your Ethernet cable feeds through the wall, cut or drill a hole approximately 18 mm in diameter, then feed the cable through the hole.

3. Insert the screw anchors into the holes and secure the mounting plate to the wall by inserting the wall screws into the anchors.

4. Connect the Ethernet cable as described in the Connecting Ethernet section.

5. Align the arrow on the top edge of the UBIQUITI NETWORKS UAP-AC-HD with the arrow on the mounting plate.

6. Rotate the UBIQUITI NETWORKS UAP-AC-HD clockwise until the tabs lock into place and the lock tab engages.

Follow these steps for a ceiling tile mount:

1. Remove the ceiling tile.

2. Place the ceiling backing plate in the center of the ceiling tile and mark the four mounting screw holes and an 18 mm hole for the Ethernet cable feed.

3. Use a 3 mm drill bit to drill the screw holes, and cut or drill the 18 mm hole.

4. Insert the ceiling screws through the mounting plate, ceiling tile, and ceiling backing plate. Fasten the screws using the keps nuts. Feed the Ethernet cable through the tile and bracket.

5. Perform the steps in the Connecting Ethernet section.

6. Align the arrow on the top edge of the UBIQUITI NETWORKS UAP-AC-HD with the arrow on the mounting plate.

7. Rotate the UBIQUITI NETWORKS UAP-AC-HD clockwise until the tabs lock into place and the lock tab engages.

8. Set the ceiling tile back into place.

Follow these steps for a T-Bar mount:

1. Remove the ceiling tiles on both sides of the T-bar you will use for mounting.

2. Loosen the set screws of the T-Bar mounts.

3. Insert the T-bar into a T-Bar mount, and turn the T-Bar mount clockwise to attach it. Use the included Allen wrench to tighten the two set screws to secure the T-Bar mount.

4. Attach the second T-Bar mount but do not tighten the set screws.

5. Use the two dashed lines on the mounting plate to space the T-Bar mounts 77 mm (3 inches) apart.

6. Tighten the two set screws on the second T-Bar mount.

7. Insert the included T-Bar screws into the holes marked B on the mounting plate, and then secure the plate to the T-Bar mounts.

8. Drop the Ethernet cable between the plate and T-bar.

9. Perform the steps in the Connecting Ethernet section.

10. Align the arrow on the top edge of the UBIQUITI NETWORKS UAP-AC-HD with the arrow on the mounting plate.

11. Rotate the UBIQUITI NETWORKS UAP-AC-HD clockwise until the tabs lock into place and the lock tab engages.

12. Set the ceiling tiles back into place.

To connect the Ethernet cable:

1. Remove the rubber port cover from the UBIQUITI NETWORKS UAP-AC-HD.

2. If the Ethernet cable is fed through the wall or ceiling, insert the cable feed plug. If it runs along the surface, skip this step.

3. Feed the Ethernet cable through the port cover. The feed hole will stretch to accommodate the RJ45 connector, and then seal around the cable.

4. Connect the Ethernet cable to the main port and replace the port cover.

The UBIQUITI NETWORKS UAP-AC-HD features auto-sensing 802.3at PoE+ support and can be powered by any 802.3at PoE+ compliant switch. Connect the Ethernet cable directly to a PoE+ port on the switch. Note that the UBIQUITI NETWORKS UAP-AC-HD cannot be powered by the US-8 or US-8-60W switches.
