Feature Description
UID switch and LED Universal ID (UID) beacon. A combination push button switch and LED
indicator. The blue LED can be turned on either by pressing the UID
switch on the front panel or through software. The main purpose of the
beacon LED is to enable identification from a remote location during
configuration or troubleshooting. The ability to turn on/off the LED by
pressing a switch allows you to walk to the other side of a fully
populated rack and identify the switch (there is a corresponding blue
beacon LED on the chassis’s back panel. Pressing the blue beacon LED
switch toggles the beacon LED on and off.
STATUS LED Multi-color LED that provides status of the system.
Green—The system is up and running.
Red—System fault is detected.
Amber—Solid (not flashing); either a minor alarm was detected in the
system or the system is booting and awaiting Power-on self-test (POST).
Amber—Flashing; POST boot up is occurring.
Off—System is not powered up.
PS1/PS2 LED LED that provides the operational status of the chassis power supplies.
• Green—AC-input or DC-input power is OK.
• Red—Power supply fault detected. (Can be either voltage or power
supply fan issues.)
Note Individual power supply status is also available through two
LEDs mounted on each power supply at the back of the chassis.
FAN LED LED that provides operational status of the fan assemblies.
• Green—Fan assemblies OK.
• Amber—One fan assembly failure has been detected (warning).
• Red—Two or more fan assembly failures have been detected
(critical failure).
Note Individual fan assembly status is available through an LED
mounted on each fan assembly at the back of the chassis.
USB ports USB Type A interface (top connector) provides access to an external
USB FLASH device (also known as a thumb drive or a USB key). The
interface supports the 4-GB Cisco USB flash drive (Cisco part no.
USB-X45-4GB-E). The Cisco IOS software provides standard file
system access to the flash device: read, write, erase, and copy, as well as
formatting of the flash device with a FAT file system. You can boot the
switch from the USB drive
OL-24795-01
Note Currently, there is no support for the USB B-port (bottom
connector).
Ethernet ports Either 16 or 32 1GBASE-X or 10GBASE-X ports. Each port requires
either an SFP or SFP+ transceiver be installed to operate.

Feature Description
Port status LEDs A bicolor port link status LED that is associated with each Ethernet port.
LED colors indicate the following status:
• Green—The port link is established and operational.
• Amber—The port is disabled.
• Blinking amber—The system has detected a fault with the link.
• Off—No link is established or no network interface cable is
installed.
Uplink module Optional 8-port 1G/10GBASE-X module (part no. C4KX-NM-8SFP+)
that can be installed in the chassis. The uplink module ports require that
either SFP or SFP+ transceivers be installed to operate. If the uplink
module is not installed, you must have a blank panel (part
no. C4KX-NM-BLANK) installed over the network uplink module bay.

Feature Description
Secure digital port The switch can use a Secure Digital (SD) flash memory card to store
the Cisco IOS software images and the switch configuration, but the
SD flash memory card is not required for the system to operate.
Console port A console serial port (RJ-45 connector) is provided for switch
management using standard console equipment.
Beacon LED A blue LED is located on the chassis rear panel to aid in the
identification of a particular chassis by the operator. This LED
operates with the UID switch LED combination on the chassis front
panel.
Ethernet management port The 10/100/1000 Ethernet Management port can be used to manage
the switch through an Ethernet network. This port can also be used
to download software to the switch or transfer files to remote servers
for analysis or backup storage. A link LED provides management
port status:
• Green—The port link is established and operational.
• Amber—The port is disabled.
• Blinking amber—The system has detected a fault with the link.
• Off—No link is established or no interface cable is installed.
Configuration information for the Ethernet management port is
contained in the software configuration guide.

Overview
Table 3 Catalyst 4500-X Series Switch Rear Panel Feature Descriptions (continued)
Feature Description
Fan assemblies The chassis has five individual fan assemblies. Each fan assembly
has an LED associated with it providing fan status.
Note The chassis normally operates with all five fan assemblies
running. However, the chassis can operate for an indefinite
period of time with only four fans running. If you operate
the chassis with only four fans, you do not have fan
redundancy meaning that any additional fan assembly
failures will result in the chassis shutting down.
Power supply bays Two power supply bays are located on the rear of the chassis. On
chassis that are equipped with only one power supply, the power
supply can be installed in either power supply bay. The second,
unused, power supply bay must have a power supply blank panel
(part no. C4KX-PWR-BLANK=) installed to maintain air
circulation through the chassis and to maintain EMI integrity.
Note The chassis supports all combinations of AC-input and
DC-input power supplies: two AC-input power supplies,
two DC-input power supplies, or one AC-input power
supply and one DC-input power supply.

Warning
Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if
interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals.
Avoid using such interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a
restricted access location and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted
access location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only
through the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security.

Rack-Mounting Guidelines
A rack-mount kit (C4948E-ACC-KIT) is included in your switch chassis accessory kit for mounting the
switch in a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack.
Note This kit might not suitable for use in equipment racks with obstructions (such as power strips) that could
impair access to the switch.
Before rack-mounting the switch, ensure the following:
• The width of the rack, between the two front-mounting strips or rails, must be 17.75 inches
(45.09 cm).
• The depth of the rack, between the front- and rear-mounting strips, must be at least 19.25 inches
(48.9 cm) but not more than 32.5 inches (82.5 cm).
• The rack must have sufficient vertical clearance to insert the chassis. The chassis height is 1 U
(1.75 inches (4.4 cm)).
