Purpose of admin status enabled and slots in the APs - Cisco 9800

[eliot007]

Good day, Cisco Community.
Hey... It might be a bit obvious...
But could someone explain the purpose of AP admin status: enabled or disabled?
Also, could you tell me what the purpose of showing the # slots on the Access Points configuration page of a 9800 controller?

Ahead, thank you for your support.

Kind regards

Eliot

                   Enabled means that the AP becomes operational in the wireless network (default)

                    The slots are referring to the radio interfaces of an access point.

To add to what Marce said:
When you disable the AP the radios are shutdown - the AP will stop offering service to wireless clients. 
You can still configure/administer the AP though.

Typically (with some variation in later APs with multiple and varied radio options):
Slot 0 = 2.4GHz radio
Slot 1 = 5 GHz radio
Slot 2 = 6 GHz radio
In models with XOR radios (which can be switched between bands) that can obviously vary. 
So, for example, in a 9120 Slot 0 can be changed from 2.4 to 5 GHz radio so that the AP has 2 x 5 GHz radios.
