Chapter 2: Installing the System
This chapter describes how to install the Fast EtherHub unit and establish network connections. You may install this hub on any level surface (e.g., a table or shelf) or in a standard equipment rack. However, please take note of the following minimum site requirements before you begin.
Pre-Installation Requirements
Before you start actual hardware installation, make sure you can provide the right operating environment, including power requirements, sufficient physical space, and proximity to other network devices that are to be connected. Verify the following installation requirements:
∙Power requirements: 100 to 240 VAC (± 10%) at 50 to 60 Hz (± 3Hz). The hub’s power supply automatically adjusts
to accept the input voltage level.
∙The hub should be located in a cool dry place, with at least 10 cm. of space at the front and back for ventilation.
∙Place the switch out of direct sunlight, and away from heat sources or areas with a high amount of electromagnetic interference.
∙If you intend to mount the hub on a rack, make sure you have the mounting screws, brackets, bolts and nuts, and the right tools.
∙Be sure the network cables and connectors needed for installation are available.
