Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Managed Switch Installation and User Guide 05/07)

Step 8. Once the 6KPM cards have been installed, the chassis top cover should be replaced by matching at the two front corners properly and slide in until it reaches the rear end and fit properly to match the holes. Make sure the chassis cover is aligned properly before securing the enclosure. Place the front panel part at the end by sliding in to the front side and secure it with 12 screws as being mentioned earlier.

3.5.3Removing 6KPM Cards

To properly remove a 6KPM card from the 6K32T & 6K32TRC Managed Switch, follow the 3 steps below.

Step 1. Remove chassis cover See procedures in Section 3.5.1 above.

Caution: Be sure the power cord is unplugged.

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.
