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 (4in) 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 titled Rack
Mounting.
