Powering the Switch
Chapter 2 Switch Installation
• 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.
• Do not wall-mount the switch with its front panel facing up. Following safety regulations,
wall-mount the switch with its front panel facing down or to the side to prevent airflow restriction
and to provide easier access to the cables.
• Clearance to the switch front and rear panels meets these conditions:
–
You can easily read the front-panel LEDs.
–
Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.
–
The AC power cord can reach from the AC power outlet to the connector on the switch
rear panel.
• For 10/100 and 10/100/1000 fixed ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected devices are not
more than 328 feet (100 meters).
• For cable lengths for small form-factor pluggable (SFP)-module connections, see the “SFP Module
Connectors” section on page B-2 and the module documentation.

input takes precedence.
Verifying Switch Operation
As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the
switch functions properly. LEDs blink during the test, which lasts approximately 1 minute. When the
switch begins POST, the System, Status, Duplex, and Speed LEDs turn green. The System LED blinks
green, and the other LEDs remain green.
When the POST completes successfully, the System LED turns green. The other LEDs turn off and then
reflect the switch operating status. If a switch fails POST, the System LED turns amber.
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST.
After a successful POST, unplug the power cord from the switch. Mount the switch in a rack on a desk
or shelf, under a desk or shelf, or on a wall, as described in the “Mounting the Switch” section on
page 2-5.

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 We strongly recommend that you attach the rubber feet. Doing so helps prevent airflow
restriction and overheating.
Step 3 Place the switch on the desk or shelf.

Installing SFP Modules
When installing SFP modules, observe these guidelines:
• Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert any
module more often than is absolutely necessary.
OL-23803-02
• To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when
connecting cables to the switch and other devices.

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
Step 2 Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings on the module top.
On some SFP modules, the TX and RX markings might be replaced by arrows that show the direction of
the connection, either send or receive.
Step 3 If the module has a bale-clasp latch, move it to the open, unlocked position.
Step 4 Align the module in front of the slot opening, and push until you feel the connector snap into place.
Step 5 If the module has a bale-clasp latch, close it.
Step 6 For fiber-optic SFP modules, remove the dust plugs and save.
Step 7 Connect the SFP cables.
Figure 2-34 Installing an SFP Module
Caution Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP module port or the rubber caps from the
fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module
ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.
Removing SFP Modules
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
Step 2 Disconnect the cable from the SFP module. For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send
(TX) and which is receive (RX).
Step 3 Insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module.
Step 4 If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject it. If the latch is obstructed and
you cannot use your finger, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument.
Step 5 Grasp the SFP module, and carefully remove it from the slot.

• Connecting to the PoE Ports, page 2-34
Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports
The 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum
cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5,
Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP cable. The 10BASE-T traffic uses Category 3 or Category 4 cable.
The autonegotiation feature is enabled by default on the switch. At this setting, the switch ports
configure themselves to operate at the speed of the attached device. If the device does not support
autonegotiation, you can set the switch port speed and duplex parameters. To maximize performance,
either let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex, or set the port speed and duplex parameters on
both ends of the connection.
See the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference on Cisco.com for more
information about autonegotiation and auto-MDIX.
If auto-MDIX is disabled, use the guidelines in Tab l e 2-1 to select the cable for connecting the
10/100/1000 Ethernet ports to other devices. See the “Cables and Adapters” section on page B-3 for
cable-pinout descriptions. See Figure 2-36.

Connecting to the PoE Ports
The 10/100 PoE ports have the same autonegotiation settings and cabling requirements as those in the
“Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports” section on page 2-33. These ports provide PoE
power.
See the e “PoE Ports (Switches with PoE Ports)” section on page 1-5 for information on the cables and
connectors.
The ports provide PoE support for 802.3af-compliant devices and also provide Cisco prestandard PoE
support for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points.
On a per-port basis, you can control whether or not a port automatically provides power to a connected
IP phone or an access point.
To access an advanced PoE planning tool, use the Cisco Power Calculator on Cisco.com:
