6KQ Port Module (6KPM) Installation
Magnum 6KQ Switches are normally received from the factory with all
required 6K Port Modules installed.
NOTE: There may be situations where the 6K PMs need to be added or replaced.
Any change in configuration of the modules can be done only via factory
installation. There is no field upgrade option for 6KQ port modules. Please contact
Tech Support (
) / RMA(
) for
changing modules.
The 6KQ port modules are not compatible with or inter-changeable with the other
Magnum 6K-Family Switches’ PMs, which use larger (typically 8-port) modules.
3.7 Connecting a Management Console Terminal to Magnum 6KQ
(Serial-RJ45 Console Port)
The serial console port on the Magnum 6KQ is
different from other 6K-family switches. The Serial RJ-
45 port, as shown in the picture, requires an 8-pin RJ-
45 male connector to have the proper communication.
(Note - the serial RJ-45 console port on the Magnum
6KQ is compatible with Cisco-type RJ-45 console port
cables).
