3.0 Magnum 8000X Installation
Before installing the equipment, it is necessary to take the
following precautions:
1.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
assembly, the environmental temperature around the equipment
must be less than or equal to 50 0 C.
2.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
assembly, adequate air flow must be maintained for proper and
safe operation.
3.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
system placement of the equipment must not overload or load
unevenly the rack system.
4.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
assembly, verify the equipment’s power requirements to prevent
overloading of the building/s electrical circuits.
5.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
assembly verify that the equipment has a reliable and
uncompromised earthing path.
Installation: This section describes installation of the Magnum Mixed-Media 8000X
Hub, as well as connection of the various Ethernet media types.
3.1 Locating the Magnum 8000X
The location of the Magnum 8000X is dependent on the physical layout of the
network and the area to be served. The unit is typically rack mounted in a
wiring closet but because it has rubber feet it can also be installed on a shelf
or table top. While stacks of up to 3 units and the associated cabling can be
accommodated on a shelf or table top, it is recommended that larger stacks be
rack mounted. Each unit is shipped with a pair of metal "ears" that attach to
each side of the unit to easily accommodate mounting in standard 19"
RETMA racks. (Brackets for 23” telco racks are optional at extra cost).
3.2 Connecting Ethernet Media
The Magnum 8000X Mixed-Media Fiber Hub is specifically
designed to support all standard Ethernet media types within a single hub
unit. This is accomplished by using a family of Port Modules (PMs) which
can be individually selected and configured per-port. See Section 2.4 for a
description of the PMs.
