2-6 CHAPTER 2: CREATING YOUR NETWORK

The four self-adhesive rubber feet prevent your hub from sliding around on your desk. Stick the feet to the marked areas at each corner of the underside of your hub.

The four stacking clips are used for neatly and securely stacking your OfficeConnect units together. You can stack up to a maximum of four units. Large units must be stacked below small units. To stack your units, secure the clips on one side and then on the other. Use the following method to secure one side:

1Place your new unit on a flat surface. Your clips fit in the positions on the side of the unit, as shown in Figure 2-3 (1).

2Position a clip over one of these holes and push it in until it clicks into place, as shown in Figure 2-3 (2). Repeat this for the other clip position on the same side.

3Keeping the front of the units aligned, rest the bottom of the existing unit on the clips’ spikes, as shown in Figure 2-3 (3). Push the clips firmly into the existing unit until they click into place.

Repeat these steps to secure the other side.

To remove a clip, hold the units firmly with one hand and hook the first finger of your other hand around the back of the clip. Use reasonable force to pull it off.
