Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch Installation and User Guide (04/07)
3.1 Locating Magnum 6K8-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 6K8-Series site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum 6K8-
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 6K8-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 6K8-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 that 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:
