3.1 Before You Install: Inspecting the Complete Package
Examine the shipping container for obvious damage before installing the
MiniHub; notify the carrier of any damage which you believe occurred during
shipment ar delivery. Inspect the contents of this package for any signs of
damage and make sure that you received these items:

• (1) Velcro tape section, approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm) in length
• (2) Brackets for optional screw-mounting

Remove the Stackable MiniHub from the shipping container. Keep the
container in case you need to ship the unit later.

return the unit, see

Installing a Stackable MiniHub is very simple. First, keeping in mind that it
must be within 6 feet (1.8 m) of an AC outlet, decide how and where you’re
going to mount the MiniHub.

Tabletop- or Shelf-Mounting
Stackable MiniHubs are easily mounted on a tabletop or shelf, and have four
rubber feet to provide stability without scratching finished surfaces. A piece of
Velcro may be used to add additional stability if desired. When properly
installed, the top-mounted LED status indicators will be in plain view and easy
to read.
The rugged steel case of the Stackable Hub will protect it from accidental
damage in an office or lab. Keep an open area around the unit so that
convection cooling can occur while the unit is operating.
