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.
