AP counterclockwise.
Mounting Plate
The Mounting Plate offers a variety of mounting holes for
different applications. The legend printed on the Mounting Plate identifies the holes used for each application.
Upgrade from UAP-AC-PRO
The UAP-AC-SHD is compatible with the UAP-AC-PRO
mounting hardware, so you only need to remove the
UAP-AC-PRO and replace it with the UAP-AC-SHD. To begin
the upgrade:
1. Insert the Release Tool into the UAP-AC-PRO Security
Slot to disengage the lock. Then turn the UAP-AC-PRO
counterclockwise and lift it off of the mounting bracket.

3. Go to the Connecting Ethernet section.
Hardware Installation
The UniFi AP can be mounted on a wall, ceiling tile, drop
ceiling T-rail (up to 40 mm), or electrical junction box. Perform
the steps for the appropriate installation.
Note for UniFi AP replacement: The holes marked “A” on
the Mounting Plate line up with the holes of mounting
brackets used for previous UniFi AP models.
Wall Mount
1. Position the Mounting Plate at the desired location on the
wall with the Arrow pointing up.
2. Mark the four mounting holes labeled “A”, and use an
8mm 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 CAT5/6 cable through the hole.
