CH A P T E R 2 Switch Installation This chapter describes how to start your switch and how to interpret the power-on self-test (POST) that ensures proper operation. It also describes how to install the switch.
Chapter 2 Switch Installation Preparing for Installation Warning Read the wall-mounting instructions carefully before beginning installation. Failure to use the correct hardware or to follow the correct procedures could result in a hazardous situation to people and damage to the system. Statement 378 Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Chapter 2 Switch Installation Preparing for Installation Warning For connections outside the building where the equipment is installed, the following ports must be connected through an approved network termination unit with integral circuit protection: 10/100/1000 Ethernet.
Chapter 2 Switch Installation Powering the Switch • Temperature around the unit does not exceed 113°F (45°C). If the switch is installed in a closed environment or in a multirack assembly, the temperature around it might be greater than normal room temperature. • Humidity around the switch must not exceed 95 percent. • Altitude at the installation site must not be greater than 10,000 feet (3,049 meters). • Do not place any items on the top of the switch.
Chapter 2 Switch Installation Verifying Switch Operation You can use both the uplink port and the auxiliary power adapter. However, the auxiliary power input takes precedence. Note Catalyst 3560CPD-8PT-S • Connect a 10/100/1000 uplink port to a PoE+ switch, such as a Catalyst 3750-X. Or • Note Plug the auxiliary power adapter cord into the switch AUX power connector and into an AC power outlet. You can use both the uplink port and the auxiliary power adapter.
Chapter 2 Switch Installation Mounting the Switch On a Desk or Shelf (without Mounting Screws) Step 1 Locate the adhesive strip with the rubber feet in the accessory kit. Step 2 Remove the four rubber feet from the adhesive strip, and attach them to the recessed areas on the bottom of the unit. This prevents the switch from sliding on the desk or shelf. Note Step 3 Warning We strongly recommend that you attach the rubber feet. Doing so helps prevent airflow restriction and overheating.

Chapter 2 Switch Installation Mounting the Switch Step 1 Locate the screw template. The template is used to align the mounting screw holes. Note Step 2 Figure 2-5 shows the measurements for the location of the screws on the switch. Position the screw template so that the two side-by-side slots face toward the floor, as shown in Figure 2-6. For the best support of the switch and cables, make sure that you attach the switch securely to a wall stud or to a firmly attached plywood mounting backboard.

Statement 378 Caution Do not wall-mount the switch with its front panel facing up.
Chapter 2 Switch Installation Mounting the Switch In a Rack Installing the switch in a rack requires an optional bracket kit that is not included with the switch. You can order these kits from your Cisco representative: Warning • 19-inch rack-mounting brackets (RCKMNT-19-CMPCT=) • 23- and 24-inch rack-mounting brackets (RCKMNT-23-CMPCT=) To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable.
Chapter 2 Switch Installation Mounting the Switch Figure 2-15 shows how to attach a 23-inch bracket to one side of the switch. Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side.
Chapter 2 Switch Installation Mounting the Switch On a DIN Rail The DIN-mount kit (part number CMP-DIN-MNT=) is optional. You can order it when you order your switch, or you can order it later from your Cisco representative.

Chapter 2 Switch Installation Installing a Cover for the Reset Button (Optional) Installing a Cover for the Reset Button (Optional) You can cover the reset button to prevent accidental or unauthorized reset of your switch. To install a cover on the reset button: 1. Locate the cover (in the accessory kit). 2. Remove the adhesive sticker from the back of the cover. 3. Apply the cover on the switch. See Figure 2-21 and Figure 2-22 as examples. You can apply the cover to other switch models as well.
Chapter 2 Switch Installation Installing the Power Cord Retainer (Optional) Installing the Power Cord Retainer (Optional) Note This section applies to switches with an AC power connector. The power cord retainer part number (PWR-CLP=) is optional. You can order it when you order your switch, or you can order it later from your Cisco representative. Step 1 Choose the sleeve size of the power cord retainer based on the thickness of the cord. The smaller sleeve can be snapped off and used for thin cords.
