5.2.12 6KQ-BLNK 

 

The 6KQ-BLNK is a blank 

face plate or cover plate that must be 

installed in any empty 6KQ PM slot to 

maintain proper cooling air flow, 

safety, etc. Two screws underneath the 

front panel hold the 6KQ-BLNK in 

place.     

 

All Magnum Ethernet products are designed to provide reliability and 

consistently high performance in all network environments.  The installation of a 

Magnum 6KQ Switch is a straightforward procedure (see INSTALLATION, Section 

3.0).  The operation is also straightforward and is discussed in Section 4. 

 

Should problems develop during installation or operation, this section is 

intended to help locate, identify and correct these types of problems.  Please follow the 

suggestions listed below prior to contacting your supplier.  However, if you are unsure of 

the procedures described in this section or if the Magnum 6KQ Switch is not performing 

as expected, do not attempt to repair the unit; instead contact your supplier for assistance 

or contact GarrettCom Customer Support. 

1. 

If difficulty is encountered when installing or operating the unit, refer back to 

 

the Installation Section of the applicable chapter of this manual.  Also check 

 

to make sure that the various components of the network are interoperable. 

2. 

Check the cables and connectors to ensure that they have been properly 
connected and the cables/wires have not been crimped or in some way 
impaired during installation.  (About 90% of network downtime can be 
attributed to wiring and connector problems.) 

3. 

Make sure that DC power is properly attached to each Magnum 6KQ Switch 
unit.  Use the PWR LEDs to verify each unit is receiving power. 

4. 

If the problem is isolated to a network device other than the Magnum 6KQ 
Switch product, it is recommended that the problem device be replaced with a 
known good device.  Verify whether or not the problem is corrected.  If not, go 
to Step 5 below.  If the problem is corrected, the Magnum 6KQ Switch and its 
associated cables are functioning properly. 

5. 

If the problem continues after completing Step 4 above, contact your supplier 
of the Magnum 6KQ Switch unit or if unknown, contact GarrettCom, Inc.by 
fax, phone or email (support@garrettcom.com) for assistance.
