Cisco 350 Series Managed Switches

Welcome

1

Thank you for choosing the Cisco 350 Series Managed Switches. The
switches are designed to be operational right out-of-the-box as standard
layer 2 and 3 switches. Using the default configuration, your switch
forwards packets between the connecting devices after power up.

This guide familiarizes you with the switch layout and describes how to
deploy the switch in your network. For additional information, see

www.cisco.com/go/350switches.

Before You Begin

Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the following:

• Category 5e or higher RJ-45 Ethernet cables for connecting network
devices.

• Console cable for using the console port to manage your switch.

• Tools for installing the hardware. The rack-mount kit packed with the

switch contains four rubber feet for desktop placement, and two
brackets and twelve screws for rack-mounting. If the supplied screws
are lost, use replacement screws in the following size:

– Diameter of the screw head: 6.9 mm

– Length of face of screw head to base of screw: 5.9 mm

– Shaft diameter: 3.94 mm

• The wall mount kit includes screws and anchors. If the supplied screws
are lost, use replacement screws in the following size:

– Length of face of screw head to base of screw: 16 mm

– Shaft diameter: 3.5 x 1.3 mm

• Computer with Internet Explorer (version 9.0, 10.0, 11.0), or Firefox
(version 36.0, 37.0, or higher), or Chrome (version 40,41,42 or higher) for
using the web-based interface or the console port to manage your
switch.

Mounting the Cisco 350 Series Switches

Depending on your switch, there are two or three ways to install the switch:

• Place the switch on a flat surface. To place the switch on a desktop,
install the four rubber feet (included) on the bottom of the switch.

• Mount the switch in a standard rack (1 rack unit high).

• Most of the 350 Series Cisco switches include wall-mounting slots on

the bottom of the device.

Placement Tips

Do not deploy the switch in a location where any of the following
conditions exist:

•Ambient Temperature—To prevent the switch from overheating, do not
operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 122°F
(50°C).

•Air Flow—Be sure that there is adequate air flow around the switch.

• Mechanical Loading—Be sure that the switch is level and stable to

avoid any hazardous conditions.

• Circuit Overloading—Adding the switch to the power outlet must not
overload that circuit.

Rack Mounting

You can mount the switches in any standard size, 19-inch (about 48 cm)
wide rack. The switch requires 1 rack unit (RU) of space, which is 1.75
inches (44.45 mm) high.

CAUTION For stability, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the

heaviest devices on the bottom. A top-heavy rack is likely to
be unstable and might tip over.

To install the switch into a 19-inch standard chassis:

400925

STEP 1 Place one of the supplied brackets on the side of the switch so that

the four holes of the brackets align to the screw holes, and then use
the four supplied screws to secure it.

STEP 2 Repeat the previous step to attach the other bracket to the opposite

side of the switch.

STEP 3 After the brackets are securely attached, the switch is now ready

to be installed into a standard 19-inch rack.

Wall Mounting

Most of the 350 Series Cisco switches include wall-mounting slots on the
bottom of the device. The SG355-10P cannot be wall-mounted.

WARNING Insecure mounting may damage the device or cause injury.

Cisco is not responsible for damages incurred by insecure wall
or ceiling mounting.

To mount your switch to a wall:

STEP 1 Determine where you want to mount the device. Verify that the

surface is smooth, flat, dry, and sturdy.

STEP 2 Drill two pilot holes into the surface of the wall 94 mm apart.

STEP 3 Insert a screw into each hole, leaving a gap between the surface

and the base of the screw head.

switch down until the screws fit snugly into the slots.

Connecting Network Devices

To connect the switch to the network:

STEP 1 Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer,

printer, network storage, or other network devices.

STEP 2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the

numbered Ethernet ports of the switch.

The Ethernet port light turns green when the connection is active.
Refer to Cisco 350 Series Switch Features for details about the
different ports and LEDs on each switch.

STEP 3 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each device that you want to

connect to the switch.

NOTE A category 5e and higher cable is required for all ports. When you

connect your network devices, do not exceed the maximum cabling
distance of 100 meters (328 feet). It can take up to one minute for the
attached devices or the LAN to be operational after it is connected. This
behavior is normal.

Power over Ethernet Considerations

WARNING The switch is to be connected only to PoE networks without

routing to the outside plant.

If your switch is one of the Power over Ethernet (PoE) models, consider the
following power requirement:
