Quick Installation Guide
Side Panel RJ-45 Connectors
Accton’s CheetaHub Power-3004E features 4 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX ports with RJ-45 connectors located on the side
panel of the hub. Port 1-4 are MDI-X, with a built-in wiring
crossover that allows for the use of straight-through twisted-
pair cable for connections to devices without built-in crossover
ports (i.e., workstations, printers, etc.).
Port 4 on this hub doubles as a crossover port and a straight-
through Uplink (daisy-chain) port. The MDI Uplink port makes
it convenient to connect straight-through cable from the hub to
a crossover port on another device.
Mount the Hub
The CheetaHub Power-3004E with its flexible stand can be
mounted on any flat or vertical
surface.
To mount the hub on a flat surface:
1 Slide the stand onto the hub base
(to stand upright) or back (to lay
flat).
2 Place the hub on any convenient
flat surface, such as a desktop or nearby shelf.
To mount the hub on a vertical surface:
1 First secure the stand to the
desired location, such as a
wall or side of a desk. You
may use two small screws,
Velcro™ strips, or any other
technique.
2 With the stand secured, slide the hub’s back
onto the stand.
Connect PCs to the Hub
Connect each PC to an RJ-45 port
on the hub with a straight-through
twisted-pair cable, maximum
100 meters (328 ft.). The
CheetaHub Power-3004E
will support up to 4 PCs.
Note that if you are using
port 4, be sure not to use
the Uplink port.
