6K32T & 6K32TRC Port Module 6KPM Installation

Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Managed Switch

Installation and User Guide 05/07)

Security violation or an S-Ring Fault, causes the contact to open and thus trigger an alarm in the user’s monitoring system

The second (bottom position) NC Alarm Contact is held close when there is power on the main board inside of the 6K32T & 6K32TRC. This provides a “Hardware Alarm” because the NC contacts will open when internal power is lost, either from an external power down condition or by the failure of the power supply inside of the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switch. Useful info. about Alarm contacts:

1.There is four terminal block (1,2,3,4)provided next to AC/DC power supply

2.The top two pins (1,2) are software operated

3.The bottom two pins (3,4) are hardware operated

4.By default it is NC (normally closed)

5.The software operation needs to be enabled and set to get the Alarm traps. For detailed information about the Software Alarm and software control of SNMP alarm traps, please reference the Magnum MNS-6K Software User Manual. (Chapter 19th).

3.56K32T & 6K32TRC Port Module (6KPM) Installation

The Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches are normally received from the

factory with 24 ports fixed and one required 6KPM module installed. There may be situations where 6KPM cards need to be added or replaced. In cases where a 6KPM module needs to be added in the modular slot, 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: Opening of the 6K32TRC chassis can only be performed by trained service persons. 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 for field installation contains (Daughterboard (Bigger) and Granddaughter board (smaller), three 5/8 stand offs for the Granddaughter board, six #4-40 Pan-Head screws along with a
