Installation: This chapter provides instructions for installing the Magnum DS8016 hubs.
3.1 Locating Magnum DS8016 Dual-Speed Hubs
The location of a Magnum DS8016 Dual-Speed Hub is dependent on the physical
layout of the network. Typically the hub is placed where combinations of 10Mb and 100Mb
network devices need to be connected to communicate with each other. The 19” rack width
size of the unit allows it to be conveniently placed in a wiring closet, an office or a lab area,
and it can also be either shelf- or rack-mounted. (See instructions in 3.1.2 below). Rack-
mounting brackets are included with each unit.
Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters) of the intended Magnum
DS8016 site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum DS8016 will normally protect it from
accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the front to
visually monitor the status LEDs. Keep an open area around the unit so that cooling can
occur from the small fan on the left side while the unit is in operation.
3.1.1 Table-Top or Shelf Mounting
The Magnum DS8016 Dual-Speed Hub can be easily mounted on a table-top or
any suitable horizontal surface, and has four rubber feet to provide stability without
scratching finished surfaces.
