Installing and Configuring Your Hub

Installing and Configuring Your Hub

To install and configure your hub, you must complete five basic tasks. They are:

■locating and verifying the necessary parts

■connecting an external transceiver (if necessary)

■connecting the hub to a power source

■mounting the hub

■connecting the hub to your network

1. Verify included parts

Each Hub-16M has the following components shipped with it:

■HP 10Base-T Hub-16M (J3188A) Installation and Reference Guide— this manual (J3188-90001)

■A U.S./Canada/Mexico (8120-1378) power cord.

■Accessory kit (5064-2053):

•bumper feet (4)

•hub-to-rack screws 10-32 (4)

•bracket-to-hub screws 10-32 (4)

•nylon finishing washer (4)

•bracket-to-hub screws (2)

•AUI retainer assembly

2. Connect the external transceiver

Because of the way the external transceiver protrudes out from hub once it is connected, you may want to install the external transceiver before installing the hub. Inspect your installation site and identify whether enough room will be available for the external transceiver to be connected. Then see your external transceiver guide for installation instructions.

3. Verify the hub operates correctly

Before mounting the hub, connect it to a power source and verify the hub will operate correctly.
