(48.26 cm) equipment rack. You can also move the brackets to the rear of the chassis
if you need to reverse mount it.
Console Port The two mounting brackets allow you to mount the HiveManager in a standard 19"
(48.26 cm) equipment rack. You can also move the brackets to the rear of the chassis
if you need to reverse mount it.
USB Port The USB port is reserved for internal use.
Status LEDs The status LEDs convey operational states for the system power and hard disk drive.
For details, see
"Status LEDs" on page 78 .
MGT and LAN
Ethernet Ports The MGT and LAN Ethernet ports are compatible with 10/100/1000-Mbps connections,
automatically negotiate half- and full-duplex mode with the connecting devices, and
support RJ-45 connectors. They are autosensing and automatically adjust to
straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables. The two ports allow you to separate
traffic between the HiveManager and its administrators from traffic between the
HiveManager and the HiveAPs it manages.
System Fans The two system fans maintain an optimum operating temperature. Be sure that air
flow through the system fan vents is not obstructed.
