1.0 Overview
1.1 Overview
The Magnum DX940e can be configured at order time and provides connectivity to Ethernet via four 10/100/1000
Base-T Ethernet ports, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps Fiber ports via SFP's. Additionally, two 10/100/1000 Base-T ports can
be added for Gigabit connectivity or 1000Mbps fiber ports (via SFP) can be added for 1000Mbps fiber connectivity.
Other connectivity options includes optional four programmable serial ports, and one DDS or T1/E1 WAN port.
Optionally a 4G/LTE cellular wireless interface can be added as well.
1.2 Configuraon
The following sections describe the features and requirements of the DX940e.
1.2.1 Connecvity
The DX940e is equipped with:
 (Optional) 1 DDS or T1/E1 WAN port. Instead of the DDS or T1/E1 port, a 4G/LTE cellular
wireless interface is available.
 4 Ethernet ports 10/100/1000 Base-T, RJ45 OR 4 SFP 100Mbps or 1000Mbps ports. These are labeled E3
through E6. All ports are disabled by default, except E6.
 (Optional) 2 Ethernet 10/100/1000 Base-T ports OR 2 SFP 1000Mbps ports. These ports
are labeled E1 and E2. These ports are disabled by default.
 (Optional) 4 Serial programmable RS232/422/485 ports.
These ports are all located on the front face of the device, as shown below in Figure 1-1.

1.2.2 Power and Ground
The DX940e can be ordered with a high (90 -250 VAC or VDC) or Low (24-48 VDC) voltage power supply. The
connection point for the power supply is located at the rear of the chassis. The rear face also contains the primary
ground stud and labels including serial number, model number, and port and power specifications.
Shown below in Figure 1-2.
For detailed power specifications see Power Requirements.
Figure 1-2, Rear view example
NOTE: The hot surfaces warning label is affixed to this device because the device is rated to operate
at ambient temperatures as high as 85°C (185°F). Also, due to temperature rise of internal
components, it is recommended NOT to touch the device body throughout its input voltage range
as well as full operating temperature range, as the metal surfaces of the device would become too
hot to touch.
REMARQUE: l'étiquette d'avertissement relative aux surfaces chaudes est apposée sur cet appareil,
car celui-ci est conçu pour fonctionner à des températures ambiantes atteignant 85°C (185°F). De
plus, en raison de l'élévation de température des composants internes, il est recommandé de ne
PAS toucher le corps de l'appareil dans toute la plage de tension d'entrée et de plage de
température de fonctionnement, car les surfaces métalliques de l'appareil deviendraient trop
chaudes au toucher.
1.2.3 Indicators
The operational status of the ports of the DX940e is indicated by LEDs located near the physical ports on the front
of the DX940e, as illustrated in Figure 1-1, and a bank of LEDs on the top of the chassis, as illustrated in Figure 1-3.
Figure 1-3, Top view of DX940e
In Figure 1-3, the LEDs are shown for Console Port; Alarm Port; and E3 through E6. Ethernet Ports E3 through E6 are
10/100/1000 copper ports or 100Mbps or 1000Mbps Fiber ports (using SFPs).
Depending on the options ordered, additional LED's may be displayed in the boxes labeled "A" and "B" (shown by
the red dotted line) in Figure 1-3 above. "A" and "B" (as shown in Figure 1-3 above) can have possible combinations
of LEDs as shown in Figure 1-3(a) below.

 C1 - Cellular Interface
 W1 - WAN Port
 S1 through S4 - Four Serial ports labeled S1, S2, S3 and S4
1.2.4 Mounng Opons
There are three mounting options for the DX940e:
 19” rack mount (see Mounting in a 19" Rack System)
 Panel mount (see Mounting on a Panel)
 DIN-Rail mount (see Mounting in a DIN-Rail System)
Each of these options requires specific accessory hardware. Each type of accessory hardware mates up with a specific
set of screw holes on the sides of the chassis, illustrated in Figure 1-4.

2.0 Installaon
This chapter provides specific procedures for installing the Magnum DX940e, preparing for installaon, and
uninstalling the device.
2.1 Preparing for Installaon
The DX940e is designed to be installed in standard 19" racks, on a DIN-Rail system, or on a panel.
2.1.1 Tools
Regardless of the mounng system you are using you will need the following tools:
 Two screw drivers – one Phillips head and one sloed.
 A torque wrench (rated for ten and 32 inch pounds, or 1.1 Nm and 3.6 Nm)
 A wrench to connect a ground wire from the device chassis to a ground.
The instrucons in this manual cover only the physical installaon. System configuraon is handled through a web-
based interface and is described in the MNS-DX Administrator’s Guide.
2.1.2 Site Suitability
Be sure that your installaon site meets the following criteria:
 Conforms to the temperature and humidity ranges detailed in Table 1-2
 Can meet the power requirements detailed in Table 1-4
 Will remain stable aer the addion of the 5 lb. DX940e
 Permits at least two inches of space between the DX940e and any other heat producing device.
2.1.3 Wiring and Grounding Guidelines
The DX940e requires several different types of connectors, cables, and wires. Requirements and recommendaons
are listed below:
Grounding: The primary ground stud located on the rear of the chassis
must be used to connect to an approved ground with a wire
meeng the following criteria:
 14 AWG (minimum)
 a maximum of five feet in length
 terminated on the ground lug side with a #10 ring lug
Facility Power: The facility power cabling aached to the DX940e chassis must meet the
following criteria:
 cabling constructed using 14 AWG stranded wire
 cable firmly aached to the terminal holes of the terminal block
 cable routed and strain relieved to the chassis according to
good wiring pracces
Copper: Copper I/O cables and connectors must be shielded.

[10]
2.1.4 External Connecons
You can speed up the installaon of the DX940e by having the following equipment and informaon on hand before
beginning:
 A supply of cables and connectors of the required types.
 IP addresses for new devices and any exisng devices you will be connecng to.
 Your notes on naming convenons and end point informaon.
2.2 Unpacking
Unpack and inspect the DX940e.
The DX940e is shipped with the following items in the box:
 DX940e unit
 Panel mounng brackets (19” Rack mount brackets or DIN–Rail mounng brackets, oponal)
 Console Cable - DB9 terminaons
 Ethernet cable - RJ45 terminaons
Be sure that all the equipment you have ordered is included in the shipment.
Remove the unit from the Styrofoam end caps and inspect the DX940e chassis for dents or other shipping related
damage. Report any damage immediately to GarreCom customer support and DO NOT INSTALL the unit.
2.3 Installaon of the DX940e Unit
To install the DX940e you must first:
 Mount it
 Make the ground and power connecons.
 Connect the network cables
2.3.1 Mounng
Your DX940e shipment includes the mounng hardware you have ordered as appropriate to your site.
This hardware is one of:
 Included, a pair of brackets for mounng on a panel.
 Oponal (ACC-DX-RM), a pair of L-shaped brackets for convenonal mounng in a 19” rack system.
 Oponal (ACC-DX-RRM), a pair of L-shaped brackets for reverse mounng in a 19” rack system.
 Oponal (ACC-DX-DM), a pair of DIN-Rail mounng brackets.

[11]
2.3.1.1 Mounng on a Panel
Each bracket for mounng on a panel aaches with two screws to the screw holes located toward the rear of the
DX940e (see Figure 1-4). You can adjust the distance of the DX940e from the panel to two posions by your selecon
of which pair of screw holes to use in aaching the bracket to the DX940e.

2.3.1.2 Mounng in a 19” Rack System
The DX940e device can be mounted in a 19” rack system with the I/O connectors on the aisle side and the power
and ground connectors on the wire side (convenonal mounng) or in the reverse configuraon.
Figure 2-3, Top view – 19” Rack, Convenonal and Reverse mounng
Convenonal Mounng
The brackets for mounng in a 19-inch rack system, aach with two screws to the screw holes located toward the
front of the DX (see Figure 1-4). You can adjust the depth of the device within the mounng system to four posions:
 By your selecon of which pair of screw holes on the short side of the bracket
(that is, the side that aaches to the DX940e) to use.
 By seng the long side of the bracket (that is, the side that aaches to the rack system) toward the front
of the DX940e or toward the rear.

2.3.1.3 Mounng in a DIN-Rail system
To mount the DX940e on a DIN-Rail, follow the below steps:
 Purchase the ACC-DX-00-DM accessory kit, which provides the DIN-Rail bracket for the DX940e.
 Kit includes:
o DIN-Rail mounng brackets, x2
o Screws 10-32 x 3/8, x4
o Installaon instrucons
Step 1: Remove the Panel Mount Brackets pre-installed on the system, by removing the two 6-32x1/4" screws for
each bracket as shown below.
