- Loosen the screws for the Terminals located on the Terminal Block Connector, using a Flat Head Screwdriver.
- Connect the Positive and Negative Wires from the 12-24V DC Power Source to the Terminals on the Terminal Block Connector.
- Insert the Terminal Block Connector Housing back into the USB Hub.
DIN Rail Mounting:
This USB Hub includes DIN Rail Brackets for horizontal mounting:
- Align the DIN Rail Brackets with the DIN Rail Mounting Holes on either side at the back of the USB Hub.
- Insert the Mounting Screws through the DIN Rail Brackets and into the USB Hub.
- Tighten the Mounting Screws using a Phillips Head Screwdriver. Be careful not to over-tighten.
Rack Mount the USB Hub
(5G16AINDS-USB-A-HUB)
This USB Hub includes Rack Mounting Brackets that can be used to mount the USB
Hub into 1U of EIA-310-compliant 19” rack space.
The USB Hub features two sets of Rack Mounting Holes (front and rear), located
on either side. This enables the USB Hub to be mounted to at either the front
or rear, depending upon your preference.
To install the Rack Mounting Brackets on the USB Hub:
- Remove the pre-installed Mounting Screws (x6) from the front or rear (depending upon your mounting preference) on both sides of the USB Hub (x3 Mounting Screws per side).
- Align the Rack Mounting Brackets (x 2) with the Rack Mounting Holes, located on either side of the USB Hub.
- Reinsert the Mounting Screws (x 6, removed in step 1) through the Rack Mounting Brackets, and into the USB Hub, on both sides, and tighten the Mounting Screws using a Phillips Head Screwdriver. Be careful not to over-tighten the Mounting Screws.
To install the USB Hub (with Rack Mounting Brackets attached) into 1U of EIA-310 compliant 19” rack space:
- Locate a suitable location in the rack/cabinet to mount the USB Hub. The USB Hub itself requires 1U of space within the rack/cabinet.
- If the Rack/Cabinet uses square mounting holes, install cage nuts into the square mounting holes on the front posts of the rack.
- Place the USB Hub (with Rack Mounting Brackets attached) into the rack and align the mounting points on the front brackets of the USB Hub’s Mounting Brackets with the mounting points on the rack (e.g. the cage nuts, if used).
- Use cabinet screws to secure the USB Hub to the rack. If not using cage nuts or M5/M6 threaded rack posts, the appropriate mounting hardware for the rack should be used.
- Make sure the screws are properly tightened and the USB Hub has no movement.
