Inspecting the Package and Product
This section applies only to PMs shipped as separate items, i.e., PMs not
factory installed in a Magnum 8000X PM slot or in bonus port slot.
Examine the shipping container for obvious damage prior to installing a PM;
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:
One or more PMs.
Remove the PM(s) from the shipping container. Be sure to keep the shipping
container should you need to ship any of the PMs 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.

Product Description
An important feature of the Magnum 8000X Hub is the use of individual Port
Modules (PMs) for flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber
media. Since the Magnum 8000X’s have dual-speed capability per-port, the
front port slots are designed to support all standard Ethernet media types at 10
or 100Mps speed. Each PM provides one port for connecting one Ethernet
segment with its individual connector type and media.
For a list and brief illustration of Port Module types, refer to Section 2.4
Each PM is individually described in the following sections.
