Note: This Quick Installation Guide is intended for experienced installers. For detailed
hardware installation instructions, refer to the Catalyst 5000 Series Installation Guide and the
Catalyst 5000 Series Module Installation Guide.
1Check the packing slip to ensure that all the proper components are present.
2Ensure the site is set up properly:
• Prepare equipment racks
• Ensure the environment is within specification
• Prepare network connections
3Obtain the following equipment:
• ESD grounding strap and antistatic mat
• Numbers 1 and 2 Phillips screwdrivers and 3/16-inch flat blade screwdriver
• Tape measure and level

4Ensure your safety when installing the Catalyst 5509 switch:
• Lift the chassis safely
• Cooperate with the natural laws of electricity
• Ensure that the power service at your site is suitable for the chassis you are
connecting

Rack-Mount the Switch
Install the shelf brackets and crossbar bracket
1Secure each shelf bracket to the rack using six (three
Shelf bracket
per side) 12-24 or 10-32 screws.
2Attach the crossbar bracket to the back of the shelf
brackets using two (one per side) M3 screws.
Note: The shelf brackets and crossbar support the
chassis in the rack, so no shelf is required.
Crossbar bracket
Attach the L brackets and cable guide to the chassis
1Attach the L brackets to the chassis using the eight M4 Phillips countersunk-head screws
provided in the rack-mount kit.
2(Optional) Attach the cable guide using the screws provided in the cable management kit.

Install the switch in the rack
Note: Three people are required to install the switch in an open rack. To make the switch
easier to lift, remove the power supplies and modules before installing the switch in the rack.
1Position one person on each side of the chassis. Lift the switch and position it on the shelf
brackets and crossbar.
2Align the mounting holes in the L brackets with the mounting holes in the rack.
3Have the third person secure the chassis by inserting the mounting screws through the holes
in the L brackets and into the threaded holes in the mounting posts.
4Use a tape measure and level to ensure the chassis is installed straight and level.

Warning Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with
electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents.
Caution T o prevent ESD damage to electronic components, always use an ESD wrist
strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal components.
AC power supplies
1V erify that each power supply is properly installed in its bay. Make sure the power supplies
are OFF (0).
2Connect an AC power cable to each power supply. Use the retaining clip to secure the cord
to each power supply connection.
3Attach each power cable to a grounded outlet. If possible, connect each cable to an outlet
on a separate circuit. Make sure that the source power is within range.

1Verify that each power supply is correctly installed in its bay and that the power switches
are OFF (0).
2On each power supply, remove the screws securing the terminal block cover and slide the
cover straight off the terminal block.
3Attach the appropriate lugs to the DC-input wires. (Suggested lugs are AMP 322985 or
52941; suggested DC-input wires are 10-AWG copper conductors.)
4Wire the DC-input power supply to the termina l block (see figure), ensuring that all wire
connections are secure:

Start the System
1Before you start the system, verify the following:
• All modules are installed correctly and all interface cable connections are secure.
• Each power supply is installed correctly and is connected to a grounded power
source.
• If two power supplies are present, each power cord is connected to a different line.
• A terminal is connected to the supervisor module console port and is turned on.
2Turn the power supplies ON (|). The switch begins the boot process.
3During the boot pro cess:
• The LEDs on the power supplies should be green.
• The PS1 and PS2 LEDs on the supervisor engine should be green.
• The fan LED on the supervisor engine should be green and you should hear the
system fans operating.
• The System Status LED on the supervisor engine should be green after the boot is
complete (it will flash red, orange, and green during startup).
• The supervisor engine interface LEDs and module LEDs (such as the Link LEDs)
might blink or stay lit continuously during the boot process. Many module LEDs
do not come on until you configure the interfaces. Wait until the system boot is
complete before attempting to verify the module LED indications.
• The console terminal displays a script and system banner.
• When the boot process is complete, the supervisor engine begins to initialize the
modules. Messages appear on the console as the modules come online.
4Press Return at the Enter Password prompt to access the console command line.
Now, refer to the Quick Software Configuration Guide
Your installation is comple te!
to configure the switch.

Inserting a module into the chassis
1Align the edges of the module with the card guides on each side of the slot (see figure).
2Ensure that the ejector levers are in the out position. Keeping the module horizontal, slide
the module into the slot until the ejector levers contact the chassis.
3Push both ejector levers in simultaneously to seat the module in the backplane connector.
4Tighten the captive screws with a flat-blade screwdriver.
