GarrettCom 6K32 Port Module 6KPM Installation, Preparation for Installing and Removing 6KPMs

Magnum 6K32 Managed Switch Installation and User Guide (02/05)

Form C Normally Closed (NC) contacts to which the user can attach two sets of status monitoring wires at the green terminal block. When this option is present, the terminal block for Alarm Contacts is part of the Power Input panel in the Magnum 6K32 case.

The AC or DC power input connection is in the same panel. A manual On-Off Switch for power to the unit is not available on 6K32 units with the Alarm Contacts option, as these two features occupy the same space in the case.

The first NC Alarm Contact (top position) is a “Software Alarm”, operated by user settings in the MNS-6K software. The user can disable the Software Alarm feature with a software configuration command if desired. When the Software Alarm is enabled, the Form C Normally Closed (NC) contact is held close during normal software operation. A user-defined software malfunction, such as an SNMP Trap or a Software 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 6K32. 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 6K32 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 need to be enable and set to get the Alarm traps. For detail information about the Software Alarm and software control of SNMP alarm traps, please reference the Magnum MNS-6K Software User Manual. (Chapter 19th).

3.56K32 Port Module (6KPM) Installation

The Magnum 6K32 Switches are normally received from the factory with 24

ports fixed and one required 6KPM modules installed. There may be situations where 6KPM cards need to be added or replaced. In cases where a 6KPM module is desired to add 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

Be sure the power cord 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.
