3.56K25e Port Module (6KPM) Installation

The Magnum 6K25e Switches are normally received from the factory with all

required 6KPM modules installed. There may be situations where 6KPM cards need to be added or replaced. In cases where additional 6KPM cards are needed, the faceplate for an available front-mounted slot must be removed. The following procedure describes this operation.

3.5.1 Preparation for Installing and Removing 6KPMs

STOP!!!

Be sure the power cord and connections for all powers single or dual, is unplugged from the chassis before attempting to remove and/or replace any PM cards.

Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit

and will void the warranty.

Caution- Avoid Static Discharge: The port modules (like most electronic equipment) are sensitive to static discharge. Use proper ESD measures when handling port modules.

Step 1. Make sure the 6KPM Card package has all necessary accessories to install it properly. Each 6KPM Card package except the Gigabit, for field installation contains (Daughterboard (Bigger) and Granddaughter board (smaller), three 5/8 stand offs for Granddaughter board, six #4-40 Pan-Head screws along with Front panel face plate package. The Front panel faceplate package includes 3 retainer brackets and six #2-56 flat head screws.

NOTE: Every 6KPM Card package comes with their matching Daughter and Granddaughter board. The copper 6KPM card should not work properly if mixed with other Fiber combo 6KPM card packages. Always install the PM module separately one by one to avoid the mixing.
