Security violation or an S-Ring Fault, causes the contact to open and thus trigger an 
alarm in the user’s monitoring system 
The second (bottom position) NC Alarm Contact is held close when there is 
power on the main board inside of the 6K32T & 6K32TRC.  This provides a “Hardware 
Alarm” because the NC contacts will open when internal power is lost, either from an 
external power down condition or by the failure of the power supply inside of the 
Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switch. Useful info. about Alarm contacts:  
1. There is four terminal block (1,2,3,4)provided next to AC/DC power supply  
2. The top two pins (1,2) are software operated 
3. The bottom two pins (3,4) are hardware operated 
4. By default it is NC (normally closed) 
5. The software operation needs to be enabled and set to get the Alarm traps. For detailed 
information about the Software Alarm and software control of SNMP alarm traps, please 
reference the Magnum MNS-6K Software User Manual. (Chapter 19th).

6K32T & 6K32TRC Port Module (6KPM) Installation 
The Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches are normally received from the 
factory with 24 ports fixed and one required 6KPM module installed. There may be 
situations where 6KPM cards need to be added or replaced.  In cases where a 6KPM 
module needs to be added in the modular slot, the faceplate for an available front-
mounted slot must be removed. The following procedure describes this operation. 
3.5.1  Preparation for Installing and Removing 6KPMs 
 
STOP!!!
 
Be sure the power cord and connections 
for all powers single or dual,  is unplugged 
from the chassis before attempting to remove 
and/or replace any PM cards. 
Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit 
and will void the warranty.
 
 
Caution- Avoid Static Discharge:   Opening of the 6K32TRC chassis can only be 
performed by trained service persons. The port modules (like most 
electronic equipment) are sensitive to static discharge.  Use proper ESD 
measures when handling port modules. 
Step 1.  Make sure the 6KPM Card package has all necessary accessories to install it 
properly. Each 6KPM Card package for field installation contains 
(Daughterboard (Bigger) and Granddaughter board (smaller), three 5/8 stand
