3.0 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 environmental temperature around the equipment
must be less than or equal to 50
0
C.
2.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
assembly, adequate air flow 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 6K16-Series Switches, as
well as connection of the various Ethernet media types.
3.1 Locating Magnum 6K16-Series Switches
For vertical panel mounting and wall mounting, see Section 3.4.
For vertical DIN-Rail mounting, see Section 3.3.
For DC power options, see Appendix B. For Dual Source, see Appendix C.
For AC power input, locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters)
of the intended Magnum 6K16-Series site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum 6K16-
Series 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 6K16-Series 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.
3.2 Connecting Ethernet Media
The Magnum 6K16-Series Switches are specifically designed to
support all standard Ethernet media types within a single Switch unit. This is
accomplished by using a family of different port Modules which can be
individually selected and configured per-port. See Section 2.4 for a description
of the PMs.
The various media types supported along with the corresponding IEEE
802.3, 802.3D, 802.3u, 802.3AB and 802.3z standards and connector types are
as follows:
