Magnum 6K32F/FR/FC/FRC Managed Switch Installation and User Guide (05/08) 

The Magnum 6K32F Series Managed Switches can be easily mounted on a 

table-top or any suitable horizontal surface.  They have four rubber feet to provide 
stability without scratching finished surfaces.  

 

6K32FC  

Installation of a Magnum 6K32F & 6K32FC Fiber Switch in a 19” rack is a 

simple procedure. The units are 1U (1.70”) high. When properly installed, the front-

mounted LED status indicators should be in plain view and easy to read. 

 

Rack-mount installation requires special 19” rack-mounted brackets and screws (included 

with each Magnum 6K32F & 6K32FC unit). These brackets attach to the front sides of 

the Switch (regular package, not the Reverse version), which is then 

typically fastened into a standard 19” RETMA rack as shown here. 

Important 
Note:  
For 
adequate 
convection 
cooling, 
always 
install a 
6K32FC 
switch with 
a minimum 
of 1/2U 
(0.875”) air 
space above 
and below.  

The 23” brackets and the ETSI (European metric, approx. 

21”) brackets are also available (optional) for rack-mounting the Magnum 6K32F & 

6K32FC Switches. These brackets are popular in the Telco industry where they are a 

standard for Central Office rack-mounting purposes. The 23” and the ETSI brackets are 

mainly used for larger equipment. 

These brackets are rack-mounted in a frame typically accessed in operation 

from both sides. 

The bracket mounting holes in the sides of the Magnum 6K32F & 6K32FC 

permits it to be mounted in various ways. The same holes fit all three types (19”, ETSI, 

and 23”) of brackets. The mounting for the 23” is illustrated in Figure 3.3.1 below.  The 

brackets may be attached flush with the front, or attached in the center for a set-back 

mounting which may reduce cabling torque.
