Installation The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect
its performance. When installing, consider the following
pointers:
Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Appendix B
for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.
Install the Switch 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
ventilation.
Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its
weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack. For
information on rack installation, see the next section, Rack
Mounting.
When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the
rubber feet to the bottom of each device. The rubber feet
cushion the hub and protect the hub case from scratching.
