INSTALLATION
This chapter provides instructions for installing Magnum DS80F and DS80C hubs.
3.1
Locating Magnum DS80F & DS80C Dual-Speed Hubs
The location of a Magnum DS80F & DS80C Dual-Speed Personal Hub is dependent
on the physical layout of the network. Typically the hub is located in a workplace site. The
compact size of the unit allows it to be conveniently placed in an office, classroom or lab area,
and it can also be either shelf- of wall-mounted (see mounting instructions in 3.1.2 below).
Metal wall-mounting clips are included with the unit.
Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters) of the intended Magnum
DS80F & DS80C site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum DS80F & DS80C will normally
protect it from accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the
top surface to visually monitor the status LEDs.
3.1.1
Table-Top or Shelf Mounting
The Magnum DS80F & DS80C Dual-Speed Personal Hub can be easily mounted on a
table-top or any suitable horizontal surface, and has four rubber feet to provide stability without
scratching finished surfaces.
3.1.2
Wall (or vertical surface) mounting
Each Magnum DS80F and DS80C
Personal Hub is shipped with two metal mounting
brackets (and screws) to allow the unit to be
mounted in nearly any desired orientation or
position. The brackets are attached to the
metal hub case using one of the metal screws
for each bracket and attaching to the Magnum
DS80F and DS80C through the round hole of
the bracket. A user-supplied screw attaches
the bracket to the mounting surface. It is
recommended to use appropriate # 4 screws
for attaching mounting bracket to wall (e.g wood screw, self-tapping screw, machine screw). It
is also recommended that the brackets be attached to two opposite corners of the unit. When
