Marking the Location

A hub should be mounted only to a wall or wood surface that is
at least 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) plywood or its equivalent.
1. Using the illustration on the next page, mark the screw hole locations
2. Using a Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver, screw in the two pan head wood
Plan the hub's location and orientation relative to other devices and
equipment. Also consider the cabling that will be attached to the hub
and ports that will be used. In the front of the hub, leave 3 inches
(76 mm) of space for twisted-pair cables. In the back of the hub,
leave 3 inches (7 cm) of space for the ac power cord, the
AdvanceStack 8U/16U SNMP module, and a serial connector.
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.
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.
on the mounting surface 4 13/16 inches (122.2 mm) apart. Make sure
you allow enough room to make the cable connections to the hub
and to be able to access the cables if they have to be moved.
screws leaving 1/8th inch (3 mm) between the screw head and the mounting
