Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (04/06)

3.0Installation

Before installing the equipment, it is necessary to take the following precautions:

1.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly, the environmental temperature around the equipment must be less than or equal to 500C.

2.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly, adequate air flow must be maintained for proper and safe operation.

3.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack system, placement of the equipment must not overload or load unevenly the rack system.

4.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly, verify the equipment’s power requirements to prevent overloading of the building/s electrical circuits.

5.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly verify that the equipment has a reliable and uncompromised earthing path.

This section describes installation of the Magnum 6K16-Series Switches, as well as connection of the various Ethernet media types.

3.1Locating Magnum 6K16-Series Switches

For vertical panel mounting and wall mounting, see Section 3.4. For vertical DIN-Rail mounting, see Section 3.3.

For DC power options, see Appendix B. For Dual Source, see Appendix C. For AC power input, locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters)

of the intended Magnum 6K16-Series site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum 6K16- Series will normally protect it from accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the front to visually monitor the status LEDs. Keep an open area around the unit so that cooling can occur from convection while the unit is in operation. The 6K16-Series has no fans, so it is silent when in operation. Internal electronics use the case as a heat sink, so the unit may normally be quite warm to the touch.

3.2Connecting Ethernet Media

The Magnum 6K16-Series Switches are specifically designed to support all standard Ethernet media types within a single Switch unit. This is accomplished by using a family of different port Modules which can be individually selected and configured per-port. See Section 2.4 for a description of the PMs.

The various media types supported along with the corresponding IEEE 802.3, 802.3D, 802.3u, 802.3AB and 802.3z standards and connector types are as follows:
