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 steady-state long-term environmental temperature
around the equipment must be less than or equal to 60
0
C.
2.)
If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
assembly, adequate airflow 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.
This section describes installation of the Magnum 6KL Switches, as well as connection
of the various Ethernet media types.

The rugged metal case of the Magnum 6KL will normally protect it from
accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the front to
visually monitor the status LEDs. Keep an open area around the unit so that cooling can
occur from convection while the unit is in operation. The 6KL has no fans, so it is silent
when in operation. Internal electronics use the case as a heat sink, so the unit may
normally be quite warm to the touch.
