6K16V Port Module (6KPM) Installation

Note: the modules used in the 6K16V vertical mount unit are similar to those

used in rack-mount 6K units, except that the top LEDs are positioned for front viewing

for the vertical-mount 6K16V model. The modules have the letter”V” in the model

numbers, but otherwise are the same. In the Port Module materials below, all modules

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

Magnum 6K16V Switches are normally received from the factory with all

required 6KPM modules installed. There may be situations where 6KPM cards need to

be added or replaced. In cases where additional 6KPM cards are needed, the faceplate

for an available front-mounted slot must be removed. The following procedure describes

this operation.

3.6.1 Preparation for Installing and Removing 6KPMs

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 6KPM Card package has all necessary accessories to install it

properly. Each 6KPM Card package except the Gigabit, for field installation

contains (Daughterboard (Bigger) and Granddaughter board (smaller), three 5/8

stand offs for Granddaughter board, 6 standoff for daughter Board, nine #4-40

Pan-Head screws along with Front panel face plate package. The Front panel

faceplate package includes 2 retainer brackets and four #2-56 flat head screws.

NOTE: Every 6KPM Card package comes with their matching Daughter and

Granddaughter board. The copper 6KPM card should not work properly if

mixed with other Fiber combo 6KPM card packages. Always install the PM

module separately one by one to avoid the mixing. Do not change the Blue
