Magnum 6KQ Managed Field Switch Installation and User Guide

.

The rugged metal case of the Magnum 6KQ 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 6KQ 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 6KQ 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-slot. See Section 2.2 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:

3.2.1Connecting Fiber Optic ST-type, “twist-lock”

The following procedure applies to installations using a PM with ST-type fiber connectors. This procedure applies to ports using a 6KQ module, MST-type port.

1.Before connecting the fiber optic cable, remove the protective dust caps from the tips of the connectors on the PM. Save these dust caps for future use.
