Hello,
I read the datasheet of Cisco AP 3700 series that it can enable the MIMO 4x4 if the AP connected to PoE+ port.
What configuration do I need to set on WLC/switch to enable the MIMO 4x4?
Thank you

3700 is a 802.11ac wave 1 AP which support SU-MIMO (Single User MIMO). Refer this for more information
MU-MIMO supports in 802.11ac wave2 products. Refer below to get a better understanding how MU-MIMO works. To support this your client should have MU-MIMO supports wireless NIC.
Configuration wise I do not think special settings as long as you enable all 802.11ac data rates you should be fine.

Hi,
So, I just need to enable all 802.11ac data only on WLC to enable MIMO 4x4 on AP 3700 series?
About the power consumption on PoE+, how much the maximum Watt that will be consumed by the AP when the MIMO is enabled?
Thank you

For the access point to operate at its full potential, using an 802.3at PoE switch or AIR-PWRINJ4 power injector is recommended.

No Special configuration needed if you enable 802.11ac data Rate on 5Ghz channel from WLC GUI for LAP.
Further more you need to understand difference between SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO.
