This chapter explains how to choose a place for your hub stack and how to
set up your hubs.
Power and Environmental
Requirements
The hubs feature an auto-selecting 100-240 V, 50-60 Hz power supply unit,
which works in most countries around the world. Before connecting the
supplied power cord to the hub, check to see that the power cord does not
exceed the maximum length allowed in the country of operation. (The power
cord normally included with the device is 1.83m (6ft.) long.) Also, make sure
it is terminated with the proper connector for use with your particular voltage
and current requirements. The cord voltage and current ratings should
conform to the standards of the country where you are using the hub.
When using a 230V power source within the U.S., use a UL-listed power
cord with the following characteristics:
♦
18 AWG
♦
Type SVT or SJT three-conductor cord
♦
Maximum 15 feet in length
