3 Be sure to allocate enough space for
•
the Hub. A Hub's dimensions, including the mounting
bracket, are:
16.5 inches (42 centimeters) in height
3 inches (8 centimeters) in width
7 inches (18 centimeters) in depth
•
the cords that will be connected to the Hub (including the
power cable).
•
air circulation.
When you mount a Hub on the wall, allow 5 inches (12
centimeters) of clearance between the top of a Hub and
any other object.
When you set a Hub on a level surface, allow 5 inches
(12 centimeters) of clearance between the Hub and any
object positioned over the Hub. Never place an object
directly on top of the Hub.
If you are installing more than one Hub in the same location, it is a
good idea to locate Hubs close to one another to simplify
administration and troubleshooting tasks, as shown in Figure 10.
If you are mounting multiple StarLAN 10 Network wiring devices
within a closet, you may want to consider rack mounting them.

Note
Do
not stack Hubs on top of each other. Stacking will affect the
heat dissipation capabilities of the Hubs.
