Installation

The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance. When installing, consider the following pointers:

♦Install the hub stack in a fairly cool and dry place. See Appendix D, Specifications, for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.

♦Install the hub stack in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

♦Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ven- tilation.

♦Install the hub on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack in- stallation, see the next section, Rack Mounting.
