Switches are typically rack mounted in a wiring closet see Section 3.3.2 below), but
because they have rubber feet they can also be installed on a shelf or table top unit. The
compact size allows it to be easily placed in an office or lab area, and it can also be either
shelf of wall-mounted (see Section 3.3.1 below).
Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet
(2 meters) of the intended Magnum 6K25 site. The
rugged metal case of the Magnum 6K25 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 the small fan on the
left side, while the unit is in operation. See figure below.

3.2 Connecting Ethernet Media
The Magnum 6K25 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 and 802.3u standards and connector types are as follows:
