Sidebar: Hubs and Network Health Light
Some network hubs, as opposed to switches or routers, may reduce performance
between your computer and the HP MediaSmart Server, or the hub may prevent your
computer from communicating with the server. If this is a problem, the network health
indicator light on the front of the server will be off. Replacing the hub with a switch may
improve the network performance or restore connectivity.
