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
