7.4.1 Installing a Fusion Wideband Main Hub

CAUTION: Install Fusion Wideband Main Hubs in indoor loca-

tions only.

Installing a Fusion Wideband Main Hub in a Rack

The Fusion Wideband Main Hub (2U high) mounts in a standard 19 in. (483 mm)

equipment rack. Allow clearance of 76 mm (3 in.) front and rear, and 51 mm (2 in.)

on both sides for air circulation. No top or bottom clearance is required.
