Chapter 2: Installing the System
This chapter provides information on installing the HP Hub-8TXE, establishing
network connections, and configuring the system. You may install this hub on
any level surface (e.g., a table or shelf) or in a standard EIA equipment rack.
However, please take note of the following minimum site requirements before
you begin.
Pre-Installation Requirements
Before you start actual hardware installation, make sure you can provide the
right operating environment, including power requirements, sufficient physical
space, and proximity to other network devices that are to be connected. Verify
the following installation requirements:
•
Power requirements: 100 to 127 VAC / 200 to 240 VAC
(
±
10%) at 50 to 60
Hz. The hub’s power supply automatically adjusts to the input voltage level.
•
The hub should be located in a cool dry place, with at least 10 cm. of space
at the front and back for ventilation.
•
Place the hub out of direct sunlight, and away from heat sources or areas
with a high amount of electromagnetic interference.
•
Check if network cables and connectors needed for installation are available.
•
Find a suitable location at the center of the devices you want to link, and
near a power outlet.
