Examine the shipping container for obvious damage prior to
installing a FPM; 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.

Remove the FPM(s) from the shipping container. Be sure to keep the
shipping container should you need to ship any of the FPMs 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 Product
Description
An important feature of the Magnum 4K-Series is the use of Fiber-
Port Modules (FPMs) for flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber
media. Since the Magnum 4K-Series Switches have dual-speed capability for
copper ports, the fiber-port interfaces are designed to support all standard
Ethernet media types at 10 or 100Mps speed. Each FPM provides one port for
connecting Ethernet segments with its individual connector type and media.
For a list of Fiber-Port Module types, refer to Section 1.2
Each FPM is individually described in the following sections.
