Inspecting the Package and Product
This section applies only to PMs shipped as separate items, i.e., 6KQ PMs not
factory installed in a Magnum 6KQ PM slot.
Examine the shipping container for obvious damage prior to
installing a 6KQ PM; notify the carrier of any damage 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:
1 or more 6KQ units ( or 6KQ) PMs
Installation instructions, with illustrations
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.

6KPM Module Description
An important feature of the Magnum 6KQ is the use of Port Modules for
flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber media. Since the Magnum
6KQ Switches have dual-speed capability for copper ports, the 1, 2, 3, or 4-port
interfaces are designed to support all standard Ethernet media types at 10 or 100
or 1000Mps speed. Each 6KQ PM provides a wide selection of connecting
Ethernet media segments with all similar or combo connector types.
