Attaching the Hub to a Wall

Attaching the Hub to a Wall

For the best support of the hub and cables, make sure the hub is securely attached to a wall stud or to a firmly attached plywood mounting backboard, as shown in Figure 2-7. You must supply your own screws to attach the hub to the wall.

Note If you plan to use the optional switched uplink module, install it in the hub before vertically attaching the hub to a wall.

After the hub is attached to the wall, connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC power connector on the hub and the other end of the cord to a power outlet. If your configuration has a Cisco RPS, see the RPS documentation. After power is connected, the hub starts the series of self-tests described in the “Powering Up the Hub and Running POST” section on page 2-6.
