R510 AP and ICX 7150 - APs shutdown and do not power back on

Here is my setup:
Comporium Zipstream Gigabit fiber main box gets Ethernet from junction box in garage.

The comporium box hands out dhcp addresses and has two built in wifi (2 and 5 GHz) networks enabled.

Lan out of the comporium box goes to the ICX7150 which is connected to two R510s running via POE.  Separate SSID is on the APs

I noticed the AP SSID was dropping, I went to look at the APs and sure enough no lights whatsoever.

So I pulled the plug on the ICX and waited a few minutes and plugged it back in.  

After around 4 minutes the APs come back online, but then after a short time, all the lights go out again and the only thing I can do is pull the plug and power cycle the ICX.

I was able to update unleashed to the 200.6 (latest version I believe).

Beyond what I'm doing I am a bit new to the whole AP \ switch configuration world.

Any ideas as to what is causing this and what my next steps should be?

I will check the firmware version in the ICX as well

Also you need to upgrade the POE firmware along side of the main firmware and bootrom.

here are the instructions i use. 

POE Firmware upgrade

bootrom and flash code upgrade

So if I wanted to start from scratch and config everything again, Is there documentation that can guide me through the process?

I don't think there is a guide that provides precisely what you need, the manuals assume certain prior experience.  You can probably look to Ruckus TAC to guide you a little bit..  and of course this forum.
At a high level, if you're just using the switch for switching and PoE you pretty much leave everything at default which uses VLAN 1 (though best practices suggest you change this for a small home network its not a big deal..).  all you really need to do is enable power for the ports the APs are connected to.
Assuming you are using ports 1/1/1 and 1/1/2 (sub-in other interface if different):
- config terminal
-- interface ethernet 1/1/1 to 1/1/2
--- inline power
--- exit
-- exit
- write mem
If you want to enable DHCP, set up VLANs, login authorization, etc...  then there is a little more to be done.
A really great resource for all of the above is on Youtube with one of our own engineers that has compiled a number of tutorials..  see here for more info:
