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

Step 2. Remove retaining screws placed on top for the 6KPM and Face Plate

On the top of the daughter module there are six retaining screws for each 6KPM card. These screws are used to secure a 6KPM card in position (see Figure 3.5.3a). Remove the three standoffs holding the Granddaughter board with the chassis. The screen faceplate screws out from the inside front of the chassis cover by loosening the 4 screws and bracket while holding it down

firmly.Figure 3.5.3a: Top View - 6 retaining screws shown by arrows

Step 3. Remove 6KPM Card

Carefully and gently pull out the daughter board from the latching connectors, using both hands, gripping the board near the latch-up connectors as shown in Fig. 3.5.3b . If the now empty slot is to remain unused, be sure to install a 6KPM-BLNK face plate cover.

Follow the step 8 to complete the process successfully.

NOTE:1. If the modular slot has not being used and moved to other unit, the empty slot must be covered with Blank cover, to maintain proper air-inflow inside the unit and keep off from dust and other unavoidable substance, otherwise can cause a failure in the Switch.

2.If the PM module in the modular slot is not being installed properly or loose in connection, the MNS-6K management software will not boot-up properly and a error will generate as –{ failed to read register device type (offset 0x1600) on slot “A or B or C or D”}, whichever the slot has been used.

3.Always boot-up the Switch after any new module installation on modular slot to confirm the successful installation, before placing the chassis cover.
