3. INSTALLATION
The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its
performance. When installing, consider the following pointers:
Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See
Technical Specifications for the acceptable temperature
and humidity operating ranges.
Install the Switch 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 ventilation.
Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can
support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment
rack. For information on rack installation, see the next
section, Rack Mounting.
When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the
rubber feet to the bottom of each device. The rubber
feet cushion the hub and protect the hub case from
scratching.
