1. Shelf Mount. The hubs can lay flat on a shelf, when appropriate
in a given installation. Though the hubs typically run cool,
adequate space should always be provided for airflow. Never
place any object on top of a hub when shelf mounted. Utilize
the space created by the mounting flange for running wires
underneath the hubs when appropriate.
2. Wall Mount. The hubs can be mounted on an equipment
cabinet or wall surface. Drill small starter holes, using the hub
mounting screw holes for alignment. Sink mounting screws into
wall studs when possible or mount a sheet of plywood slightly
larger than the area required for the hubs to the wall surface to
ensure firm attachment. Leave several inches vertically between
hubs for pulling wires and making connections. Utilize the space
created by the mounting flange for running wires underneath
the hubs when appropriate.
3. Panel Mount. The mounting screw holes on the AVH21 and
WPS21 hub flanges are configured for use with two brands of pop-
ular structured wiring panels: the Channel Vision C-0128E and
Leviton Cat: 47605-28W. (These specific models will each accept
three hubs.) Hubs can mount to either hole pattern, using standard
nuts and bolts or the supplied locking pins.

Main Room
The AVR21EN and all common-source components and speakers
should be installed, connected and set up as described in the
Pre-Wire/Main Room, and Main Room Installation and Setup
sections.
Hub Installation
In hub systems, the AVH21 A/V hubs and WPS power supply hubs
are always used in pairs (one each – AVH21 and WPS21). The
recommended positioning for these pairs is side by side. When
using one pair of hubs, this positioning is not necessarily critical;
however, when using multiple sets, wire management and
connections between hubs will be much neater and easier by
positioning the hubs side by side.
The AVH21 A/V hubs and WPS power supply hubs can be
mounted in three ways.
