Installation

This chapter outlines the procedure for installing the STHI. Confirm that the network meets the guidelines and requirements outlined in Chapter 2, Requirements & Specifications, before installing the STHI.

3.1 Installing the STHI

The STHI may be installed as a stand-alone hub or as part of a stack.

•A single phase 120Vac, 15A, grounded power receptacle must be located within 7 feet of the STHI.

•Shelving units must be able to support 30 pounds of static weight for each device in the stack. This accounts for both hub and cable weight.

•The ambient temperature must be maintained between -30° and 90°C at all times and between 5° and 50°C during operation.
