Installing the Hub
Installation
The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance.
When installing, consider the following pointers:
Install the hub stack in a fairly cool and dry place. See Appendix D,
Specifications, for the acceptable temperature and humidity operat-
ing ranges.
Install the hub stack in a site free from strong electromagnetic field
generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to
sunlight.
Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for
ventilation.
Install the hub on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight,
or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack
installation, see the next section, Rack Mounting.
When installing the hub stack on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to
the bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the
hub case from scratching.
Rack Mounting
The hub can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can
be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting
brackets at the hub's front panel (one on each side), and secure them with
the provided screws.
