Table-Top or Shelf Mounting
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.

Rack-mounting (for 19" RETMA racks) Magnum 6K32F &
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.

Mountings for
6K32F Series
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.
