Inspecting the Package and Product
This section applies only to QPMs shipped as separate items, i.e., QPMs not
factory installed in a Magnum Quad-Series QPM slot.
Examine the shipping container for obvious damage prior to
installing a QPM; notify the carrier of any damage which you believe occurred
during shipment or delivery. Inspect the contents of this package for any signs
of damage and ensure that the items listed below are included.
This package should contain:

Installation instructions, with illustrations
Remove the QPM(s) from the shipping container. Be sure to keep the
shipping container should you need to ship any of the QPMs separately at a later
date. In the event there are items missing or damaged contact your supplier. If
you need to return the unit, use the original shipping container if possible. Refer
to Chapter 5 for specific return procedures.
5.2 Product
Description
An important feature of the Magnum Quad-Series is the use of Quad-
Port Modules (QPMs) for flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber
media. Since the Magnum Quad-Series Switches have dual-speed capability for
copper ports, the quad-port interfaces are designed to support all standard
Ethernet media types at 10 or 100Mps speed. Each QPM provides four ports
for connecting Ethernet segments with its individual connector type and media.
For a list of Quad-Port Module types, refer to Section 1.2
Each QPM is individually described in the following sections.
