2975 switch.
Warning
Attach only the following Cisco RPS model to the RPS receptacle: PWR-RPS2300 , PWR675- AC-RPS -N1=.
Connec t the Cat alyst 2975 switch and the redundant power system to the same AC power source.
Cisco RPS 2300 and RPS 675
The Cisco RPS 2300 has two output levels: –52 V and 12 V with a total maximum output power of 2300
W. The Cisco RPS 675 has two out put levels : –48 V and 12 V with a total maximum output power
of 675

Installing an SFP Module
When installing SFP modules, observe these guidelines:
Do not remove the dust plugs from the SFP modules or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable
until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the module ports and cables from conta min atio n and am bie nt ligh t.
Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert any
SFP module more often than is absolutely necessary.
To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when

Step 1 Attach an ESD-p reven tive w ris t s tr ap t o yo u r w r ist and to a b a re metal su rface. Step 2 Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings that identify the top side of the SFP module.
On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be replaced by arrows that show the d irect io n of t he co n nec ti on , e it he r s en d or r ece ive (T X or R X ) .
Step 3 If the SFP module has a bale-clasp latch, move it to the open, unlocked position.

Step 4 Align the SFP module in front of the slot opening, and push until you feel the connector on the module
snap into plac e.
Step 5 If the module has a bale-clasp latch, close it. Step 6 For fiber-optic SFP modules, remove the SFP dust plugs and save. Step 7 Connect the SFP cables.

An ordinary patch cord with MMF, 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP modules, and a short link distance can cause transceiver saturation, resulting in an elevated bit error rate (BER). When using the LX/LH SFP module with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must also install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the SFP module and the MMF ca bl e on bot h th e s en di ng a nd re ce iv in g e nds of the l in k.

Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program

This appendix provides a CLI-based setup procedure for a Catalyst 2975 standalone switch or a switch stack. Before powering the switch to run the setup program, review the safety warnings in
“Switch Installation.”

Accessing the CLI Through Express Setup

You can acce ss t he CLI on an u nc onf igu re d swi t ch b y pl aci ng th e sw itc h i n Ex pre ss Se t up mode and th en connect ing a switch Et hernet port to the Ethernet port of your PC or worksta tion. To put the switch into Express Setup m o de , f ol low th e s t ep s de s cr ib ed in the ge tti ng started g ui d e f or p owe ri ng o n th e s w it ch and using E xp ress Setup.
When the switch is in Express Setup mode, open a Telnet session to the switch by entering the IP address
10.0.0.1. Enter th e setu p user EXEC command. Enter the information described in the
section on page C-2 and th e “Completing the Setup Program” section on page C-2.

Chapter 2,
“IP Settings”
After you have entered the configuration information for the switch, save it to flash memory by using the write memory privileged EX EC co mm an d .
Note While in Express Setup mode, the IP address 10.0.0.1 remains active on the swit ch until yo u enter the
write memory comman d. You lose the Telnet co nn ec ti on af t er en te ri ng t he write me mo ry comma nd.
