Installing the Hub
This chapter explains how to mount the hub, attach cables, and connect power.
Mounting the Hub
You can place the hub on a level surface (table top or shelf, for example) or
mount it in a standard EIA 19-inch rack.
Attaching the Rubber Feet
If you will place the hub on a table top or shelf, attach the supplied adhesive-
backed rubber feet, as described in the following steps.
1. Turn the hub over so that its bottom side faces up.
2. Remove the four rubber feet from their packaging.
3. Peel the protective paper backing off the rubber feet. Then position the
feet in the recessed areas near the corners of the hub and press the feet
into place.
4. Turn the hub to its upright position and place it on the
mounting surface.
NOTE
: Be sure you allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) on each side of the hub for proper
air flow.
Rack-Mounting the Hub
The hub occupies 1 ½ slots in a standard 19-inch rack. To mount the hub in a
rack, use the supplied installation kit. This kit includes two side mounting
brackets, eight bracket screws, and four larger rack-mount screws.
