The 6K8-BLNK is a blank

face plate or cover plate that must be

installed in any empty 6K16-Series

PM slot to maintain proper cooling air

flow, safety, etc. Two screws

underneath the front panel hold the 6K8-BLNK in place.

6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

All Magnum Ethernet products are designed to provide reliability and

consistently high performance in all network environments. The installation of a

Magnum 6K8-Series Switch is a straightforward procedure (see INSTALLATION,

Section 2.6); the operation is also straightforward and is discussed in Section 4.

Should problems develop during installation or operation, this section is

intended to help locate, identify and correct these types of problems. Please follow the

suggestions listed below prior to contacting your supplier. However, if you are unsure of

the procedures described in this section or if the Magnum 6K8-Series Switch is not

performing as expected, do not attempt to repair the unit; instead contact your supplier

for assistance or contact GarrettCom Customer Support.

6.1

Before Calling for Assistance

If difficulty is encountered when installing or operating the unit, refer back to

the Installation Section of the applicable chapter of this manual. Also check

to make sure that the various components of the network are interoperable.

Check the cables and connectors to ensure that they have been properly

connected and the cables/wires have not been crimped or in some way

impaired during installation. (About 90% of network downtime can be

attributed to wiring and connector problems.)

Make sure that an AC power cord is properly attached to each Magnum 6K8-

Series Switch unit. Be certain that each AC power cord is plugged into a

functioning electrical outlet. Use the PWR LEDs to verify each unit is

receiving power.
