3.10.1Installing an SPM Module in the Magnum 8000X

There is only one SPM module may be installed in the Magnum 8000X Fiber Hub unit. The SPM bonus port slot is accessible on the rear of the unit Follow these steps to install an SPM.

Step 1. Remove top chassis cover. See procedure in Section 3.10a above.

Step 2. The figure 3.10.1a below illustrates the layout of an SPM module installed in a 8000X unit. The SPM module fits easily into the SPM header.

Align the 40-pin male header on the main board of the Magnum 8000X with the female sockets on the SPM module carefully. Any misalignment of the pins will prevent proper functioning of the SPM module.

Step 3. Slowly and firmly push the SPM into position. Once inserted, the SPM card is then secured by the header connector. Re-insert the retaining screws on the SPM module cover plate to provide stability .

NOTE: The SPM Bonus Port slot need not be populated in order for the Magnum 8000X unit to be operational. When leaving SPM slots empty, always use a face plate (supplied and factory-installed in all non-SPM units)) to cover the slot opening in the rear panel. This will maintain proper cooling air flow for safety, and operation as required by FCC, CE, and other regulations.

Step 4. Once SPM card has been installed, the user can adjust the jumper settings either to half or full duplex. The SPM module, by default, comes with half- duplex settings. Finally the chassis cover should be replaced and screwed down.
