Mount The Hub - HP J2415A Installation And Reference Manual

Installing the HP AdvanceStack Hub

3. Mount the Hub

The Hub-14 can be mounted in three ways:
The hardware for mounting the hub is included in the hub mounting kit
(5063-4251) packed with the hub. If you are mounting the hub to a wall,
however, you will also need four 5/8-inch number 12 wood screws, which are
not included in the mounting kit.
To mount a hub in a rack or on a wall, you will need a Phillips (cross-head)
number 1 screwdriver.
To install the hub on a table or other horizontal surface, no special tools are
necessary. Be certain to pick a sturdy table in an isolated area. You may want
to secure the hub's cables to the leg of the table to prevent people from
tripping over them.

Before mounting a hub, plan its location and orientation relative to other
devices and equipment. Also consider the cabling that will be attached to
the hub and the ports that will be used. If you will be using the cable
management bar, verify that there is room for the grouped cables to trail
out from the side of the hub. Allow at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) in the front
of the hub. In the back of the hub, allow at least 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) of
space for the power cord.)
Ensure that the HP AdvanceStack hub(s) do not overload the power
circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To determine the
possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the amperage
ratings from the nameplates of all your hubs (and other equipment)
installed on the same circuits and compare the total with the rating limits
for the supply circuits.
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use
the supplied power cord to connect the HP AdvanceStack hub to the
circuit. See the Safety Statements at the end of this manual.
Do not install the Hub-14 in an environment where the operating ambient
temperature might exceed 55°C (131°F).
Make sure the air flow around the sides of the hub is not restricted.
