Magnum 6K25e Gigabit Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (10/07)

2.2.1Magnum 6K25e and 6K25eR chassis

The Magnum 6K25e is a 19” rack-mountable Ethernet Switch with three eight-port slots (A, B, and C) and one Gb-only slot (D) for configuration flexibility. Slots A, B and C may be configured with any of a large selection of fiber and copper port types and combinations of types, typically eight ports per module, but sometimes 6 or 4 ports or even one Gb port. Slot D may be configured with a Gb module that accepts GBICs. The port types configurable using the 4 slots allows the 6K25e to efficiently serve a large variety of applications, especially using fiber media. The Magnum 6K25e port modules are normally factory installed, but may be changed or added in the field. (See Section 5)

Figure 2.2.1a: “Regular” 6K25e front view, configured for 24 +1 Gb ports

Status LEDs are part of each port module and are viewable when connecting the Ethernet media. A “regular” rack-mount 6K25e is shown in Figure 2.2.1a. On “Reverse” rack-mount models, there is a duplicate set of LEDs on the other (front) side for normal status viewing from that direction. Of course, with management, the port status data is also available in software.
