Accton Technology 12mi SNMP, 12i manual Hardware Installation, Stacking Hubs without a Rack

Fast EtherHub 3500 System User’s Guide

Hardware Installation

This hub is suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation. A good location is at the center of all the devices you want to link, close to a collapsed backbone, and near a power outlet.

ΦThese hubs can be stacked with other hubs using a mounting rack or directly on top of one another. Refer to the sections on Stacking Hubs without a Rack or Mounting Hubs in a Rack for a description of these methods.

If you don’t want to stack the hub with other hubs now, or you plan to use the hub in a stand-alone configuration, go to the section on Connecting the Hub System.

Stacking Hubs without a Rack

If you need to install a redundant power module, refer to Installing a Backup Power Supply on page 2-11, and complete that procedure before stacking the hub.

The hub can be stacked anywhere there is a sufficiently large flat space, such as on a table or desktop.

1.Stick the self-adhesive rubber foot pads (that come with this package) on each of the 4 hollow spaces located on the bottom of the first hub.

2.Place the first hub on a firm and flat surface in the area where you want the stack to be installed.

3.Attach the rubber feet on each hub before stacking them. They cushion the hub against shock/vibrations and provide space between each hub for ventilation.
