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.




3.5.1 Preparation for Installing and Removing 6KPMs

STOP!!!

Be sure the power cord and connections

for all powers single or dual, 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, six #4-40 Pan-Head screws along with

Front panel face plate package. The Front panel faceplate package includes 3

retainer brackets and six #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.

Step 2. Remove Chassis Cover

The Magnum 6K25 chassis are combined with top and bottom parts and

assembled together with the help of 22 Philips-head screws. There are 7 screws located

on the front-bottom and rear-top of the unit and four screws each on the sides. Remove

these screws. Once these are removed, the top cover is easily lifted off the chassis base.

When the chassis top cover has been removed, the interior of the unit is exposed.
