Installing the Hub

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.
