Inspecting the Package and Product
This section applies only to Port Modules shipped as separate items, i.e., 6KQ
PMs that are not factory installed.
Examine the shipping container for obvious damage prior to
installing a 6KQ PM; notify the carrier of any damage you believe occurred
during shipment. Inspect the contents of this package for any signs of damage
and ensure that the items listed below are included.
The package should contain:
1 or more 6KQ Port Moduless
Installation instructions with illustrations
Observing proper ESD grounding procedures, remove the 6KQ
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.
5.2 6KQ
Modules
An important feature of the Magnum 6KQ is the use of Port Modules for
flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 copper and various fiber media. The
first four ports (1,2,3 & 4) of the Magnum 6KQ Switches are fixed RJ-45 copper
ports with dual-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating capability. Additionally the
switch can accept up to three Port Modules to provide the user with up to 12
additional ports (16 total) providing a wide selection of Ethernet copper and
fiber media connections with 10, 100 and 1000Mbps capability and up to 70km.
Note: The 6KQ Port modules are not identical to the port modules used in other 6K
products such as the 6K25e and 6K16V. For information about other 6K
products, please see the applicable manual. For a list of 6KQ Port Modules,
refer to Section 1.2
