Stacking Hubs on a Flat Surface

Rack-Mounting the Hubs

Connecting the Hub System

The hub can be stacked on a secure table or desktop.

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

2.Place the first hub on a firm flat surface where you want to install the stack.

3.Repeat Step 1 for each hub before stacking them. The rubber foot pads cushion the hub against shock/vibrations and provide space between each hub for ventilation.

Please comply with the following instructions to ensure that your hub is securely mounted in the rack, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 Rack-Mounting Hubs

1.Use a standard EIA 19-inch rack.

2.Use the brackets and screws supplied in the rack mounting kit.

3.Use a cross-head screwdriver to attach the brackets to the side of the hub.

4.Position the hub in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack, and then use the supplied screws to mount the hub in the rack.

The hub has 12/24 RJ-45 ports, one of which also serves as a dual-speed (MDI/ MDI-X) daisy-chain port. All the repeater ports support 10 or 100 Mbps half-duplex connections.
