1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 General Description

The 6500-FK is the direct replacement for the discontinued FlexSwitch Model
600XC 8U. The 6500-FK replacement kit consists of two iConverter 4Tx
Switch Modules installed in a iConverter 2-Module chassis.

The 6500-FK provides eight auto-negotiating 10/100 UTP ports with auto­crossover that enables easy attachment to hubs, switches and workstations.

The 6500-FK provides on-board DIP-Switches for manual configuration of
Port 1 and 2 on each 4-Port Switch Module.

2.0 INST ALLATION

2.1 Chassis Installation

The 6500-FK is designed to accommodate wall-mounting and tabletop
installations. For wall-mounting, the 8249-0 W all-Mount kit (sold separately)
is designed to attach the chassis to a wall, backboard or other flat surfaces.

For tabletop installations, place the unit on a flat level surface. Attach the
rubber feet to the bottom of the chassis to prevent the unit from sliding. Make
sure the unit is placed in a safe, dry and secure location.

For external power installation and configuration, see section 3.0.

2.2 Module Installation

The modules are pre-installed in the 2-Module chassis with the backplane
enabled on both modules. If the modules are removed, carefully slide the
module into the open slot. Align the module with the installation guides and
ensure that the module is firmly seated against the backplane. Secure the
module by fastening the front panel thumbscrew (push in and turn clockwise
to tighten) to the chassis front.
