Installation

The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance. When installing, consider the following pointers:

¾Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.

¾Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

¾Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the Switch for ventilation.

¾Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section, Rack .

¾When installing Switches on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the Switch and protect the case from scratching.
