Mount The Hub - HP AdvanceStack 10Base-T Hub-12 Installation And Reference Manual

3. Mount the Hub

The HP AdvanceStack hubs can be mounted in three ways:
in a rack or cabinet
on a wall
on a table
The hardware for mounting the hub is included in the Accessory Kit
(5063-4251) packed with the hub. If you are mounting the hub to a wall,
however, you will also need four 5/8-inch number 12 wood screws,
which are not included in the Accessory Kit.
To mount a hub in a rack or on a wall, you will need a Phillips
(cross-head) number 1 screwdriver.
To locate the hub on a table or other horizontal surface, no special tools
are necessary. Be certain to pick a sturdy table in an isolated area. You
may want to secure the hub's cables to the leg of the table to prevent
people from tripping over them.
M o u n t i n g
Before mounting a hub, plan its location and orientation relative to
P r e c a u t i o n s :
other devices and equipment. Also consider the cabling that will be
attached to the hub and ports that will be used. If you use the cable
guide bar on the right side of the hub's front, make room for the
grouped cables to trail out from the right side of the hub.
Ensure that the HP AdvanceStack hub(s) do not overload the power
circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To determine the
possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the
ampere ratings from the nameplates of all your hubs (and other
equipment) installed on the same circuits and compare the total with
the rating limits for the supply circuits.
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded,
then use the supplied power cord to connect the HP AdvanceStack
hub to the circuit. See the Safety Statements at the end of this
manual.
Do not install the HP AdvanceStack hub in an environment where
the operating ambient temperature might exceed 55°C (131°F).
Make sure the air flow around the sides of the hub is not restricted.
