Mount The Hub - HP AdvanceStack Hub-16U Installation And Reference Manual

Installing the Hub

3. Mount the hub

The HP AdvanceStack Hub-16U can be mounted in three ways:
The hardware for mounting the hub is included in the accessory kit
(5063-5995) packed with the hub. If you are mounting the hub to a wall, use
the four 5/8-inch number 12 wood screws in the accessory kit.
Hewlett-Packard sells 19-inch free standing equipment racks. To order a rack
for your hub, call HP at 1-800-538-8787 to order part number 46298D.

in a rack or cabinet
on a wall
on a table
Plan the hub's location and orientation relative to other devices and
equipment. Also consider the cabling that will be attached to the hub
and ports that will be used. In the front of the hub, leave 3 inches
(7.6 cm) of space for twisted-pair cables. In the back of the hub,
leave 3 inches (7 cm) of space for the power cord, the 8U/16U SNMP
module, and a serial cable.
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
ampere 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 HP AdvanceStack hub in an environment where
the operating ambient temperature might exceed 55°C (131°F).
Make sure the air flow around the sides and back of the hub is not
restricted.
