

TheU‐Hubisdesignedtobemountedinastandard19”rackenclosure.

Wheretheprocessorisusedinafixedinstallation,aslongasthebottomunitissupportedandtherearenogapsbetweenunits,

itisacceptabletouseonlythefrontpanel19”rackholeswhenfittingitinastandardrackenclosure.IftheU‐Hubismountedin

amobilerackitisimportantthattherearorsidesaresupportedwithasuitableracksupportbracket.Damagecausedby

insufficientsupportisnotcoveredbythewarranty.

Topreventdamagetothefrontpanelitisrecommendedthatplasticcupsorwashersarefittedunderneaththerackmounting

boltheads.

ItispossibletousetheU‐Hubwithoutventilationgapsbetweenotherrackproductsaslongastherearenoproductswhich

generateextremehightemperatures,Amplifiersforexample.IfU‐Hubsareinthesamerackitisessentialthatadequate

measuresforcoolingareprovidedinaccordancewiththeAmplifiermanufacturersguidelines.Thisshouldensureaminimumof
