referred to as “6KPMV” for convenience in describing port module installation.

Magnum 6K8-Series Switches are normally received from the factory with all required 6KPMV modules installed. There may be situations where 6KPMV cards need to be added or replaced. In cases where additional 6KPMV cards are needed, the faceplate for an available front-mounted slot must be removed. The following procedure describes this operation. The pictorial view of the hardware assembly can be seen here-

3.6.1 Preparation for Installing and Removing 6KPMVs from 6K8’s

STOP!!!

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.

Caution- Avoid Static Discharge: The port modules (like most electronic equipment) are sensitive to static discharge. Use proper ESD measures when handling port modules.

Step 1. Make sure the 6KPMV Card package has all necessary accessories and use the proper tool to install it properly. Each 6KPMV Card package, for field installation contains (Daughterboard (Bigger) and Granddaughter board (smaller), three 5/8 stand offs for Granddaughter board, 6 standoff for daughter Board, nine #4-40x3/8 Pan-Head screws along with Front panel face plate package.

NOTE: Every 6KPMV Card package comes with their matching Daughter and Granddaughter board. The copper 6KPMV card should not work properly if mixed with other Fiber combo 6KPMV card packages. Always install the PM module separately one by one to avoid the mixing.

Do not change the Blue color DIP Switch setting ever! Leave it at factory default.

Step 2. Remove Chassis Cover
