3.0Installation
Before installing the equipment, it is necessary to take the following precautions:
1.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly, the environmental temperature around the equipment must be less than or equal to 500C.
2.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly, adequate airflow must be maintained for proper and safe operation.
3.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack system, placement of the equipment must not load unevenly or overload the rack system.
4.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly, verify the equipment’s power requirements to prevent overloading of the building/s electrical circuits.
5.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly verify that the equipment has a reliable and uncompromised earthing path.

3.1Locating Magnum 6K32T Switches
The location of a Magnum 6K32T Switch is dependent on the physical layout
of the network. Typically the Switch is placed in a central wiring location where groups of network devices need to be connected in order to communicate with each other. These Switches are typically rack mounted in a wiring closet see Section 3.3.2 below), but because they have rubber feet they can also be installed on a shelf or table top unit. The compact size allows it to be easily placed in an office or lab area, and it can also be either shelf of
Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters) of the intended Magnum 6K32T site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum 6K32T will normally protect it from accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the front to visually
monitor the status LEDs. Keep an open area around the 
unit so that cooling can occur from the small fan on the
left side while the unit is in operation. See figure below.
