Placement and Mounting

This section describes how to mount the NetStacker II on a desktop or shelf.

Hub Location

The location chosen for the NetStacker II hub should be less than 100 meters from servers, workstations, and other devices.

▲Important: Category 5 cables are environment-sensitive. Make sure that the cable route is not too close to electro- magnetic noise sources such as power lines or fluorescent lights.

Desktop Mounting

To place the hub on a desktop or shelf:

1 Attach the four rubber feet (supplied) to the bottom of each corner on the hub. See Figure 2-5.

2 Place the hub on a flat, stable, horizontal desktop or shelf.

Make sure you allow enough ventilation space between the hub and surrounding objects.

Rack Mounting

A rack mount bracket is an optional way to mount hubs in standard EIA 19- inch racks.

1 Align the mounting brackets on the sides of the unit with the slit over the holes as shown in Figure 2-6.

2 Secure the screws tightly to fix the brackets to the device.
