To attach the unit to a wall or ceiling:

- Screw the provided anchors into the wall or ceiling in the marked locations. If necessary, drill holes into the wall or ceiling with an appropriately sized drill bit prior to inserting the anchors.
- Screw the provided P3.5×32 screws into the two anchors, leaving enough of the screws exposed to ensure that the unit can be mounted on them.
- Mount the FortiAP unit onto the screws and ensure that it is mounted securely.
- Use the Kensington security slot to attach a cable lock (cable lock is not included) to protect your FortiAP device from unauthorized removal. You can now proceed with connecting your FortiAP unit.
