Installing the System 2-1
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.
