Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Managed Switch

Installation and User Guide 05/07)

the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches. These brackets are popular in the Telco industry where they are a standard for Central Office rack-mounting purposes. The 23” and the ETSI brackets are mainly used for larger equipment

These brackets are rack-mounted in a frame typically accessed in operation from both sides.

The bracket mounting holes in the sides of the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC permits it to be mounted in various ways. The same holes fit all three types (19”, ETSI, and 23”) of brackets. The mounting for the 23” is illustrated in Figure 3.3.1 below. The brackets may be attached flush with the front, or attached in the center for a set-back mounting which may reduce cabling torque.

The optional 23” brackets and the ETSI (21”) brackets each come as a pair in a package, along with the necessary screws for attaching the brackets to the sides of the Magnum Switch unit. They must be ordered as separate line items.

3.3.2 Rack-mounting, Reverse version of the Magnum 6K32T’s

(Not available as of October 2005) The optional Reverse Magnum 6K32T Model has all of the cabling (Ethernet cabling, power cabling and console port cabling) connectors in the rear, and the status LEDs in the front. The status LEDs that are co- incident with the ports are still present there, and a second or dual set of LEDs are used for status visibility in the front of the unit, showing the same data.
