Installation instructions, with illustrations

Remove the 6K32T & 6K32TRC PM(s) from the shipping container. Be sure to keep the shipping container should you need to ship any of the PMs separately at a later date. In the event there are items missing or damaged, contact your supplier. If you need to return the unit, use the original shipping container if possible. Refer to Chapter 5 for specific return procedures.

5.26KPM Module Description

An important feature of the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC is the use of one Port Modules for flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber media in the modular slot. Since the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches have dual-speed capability for copper ports, the 6 or 8-port interfaces are designed to support all standard Ethernet media types at 10 or 100Mps speed. Each 6K32T & 6K32TRC PM can provide two, four, six or eight ports for connecting Ethernet segments with its individual connector type and media.

For a list of 6K32T & 6K32TRC Port Module types, refer to Section 1.2

Each 6K PM is individually described in the following sections.

NOTE: The port #1 on the RJ-45 ports on all the modules, either all RJ-45 ports or used for COMBO module is set as (=) as other ports.
