Cisco Systems 2960 Installing and Removing SFP Modules, Table- or Shelf-Mounting, 2-15

Chapter 2 Switch Installation (24- and 48-Port Switches)

Installing and Removing SFP Modules

After the switch is mounted on the wall, do these tasks to complete the installation:

•Power on the switch. See the “Verifying Switch Operation” section on page 2-7.

•Connect to a 10/100 or 10/100/1000 port, and run Express Setup. See the Catalyst 2960 Switch Getting Started Guide for instructions.

•Connect to the front-panel ports. See the “Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports” section on page 2-18, the “Connecting to SFP Modules” section on page 2-19, and the “Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port” section on page 2-22to complete the installation.

For configuration instructions about using the CLI setup program, go to Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”

Table- or Shelf-Mounting

This section applies to all switches except the Catalyst 2960-8TC-L, Catalyst 2960G-8TC-L, and Catalyst 2960PD-8TT-L switches. For information applicable to those switches, see Chapter 3, “Switch Installation (8-Port Switches).”

Follow these steps to install the switch on a table or shelf:

Step 1 Locate the adhesive strip with the rubber feet in the mounting-kit envelope. Attach the four rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the unit.

Step 2 Place the switch on the table or shelf near an AC power source.

After the switch is mounted on the table, do these tasks to complete the installation:

•Power on the switch. See the “Verifying Switch Operation” section on page 2-7.

•Connect to a 10/100 or 10/100/1000 port, and run Express Setup. See the Catalyst 2960 Switch Getting Started Guide for instructions.

•Connect to the front-panel ports. See the “Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports” section on page 2-18,“Connecting to SFP Modules” section on page 2-19and the “Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port” section on page 2-22to complete the installation.

For configuration instructions about using the CLI setup program, go to Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”

Note When the connectors are not being used, replace the dust covers on them for protection.

Installing and Removing SFP Modules

These sections describe how to install and remove SFP modules. SFP modules are inserted into SFP module slots on the front of the Catalyst 2960 switches. These field-replaceable modules provide the uplink optical interfaces, laser send (TX) and laser receive (RX).

You can use any combination of SFP modules. Refer to the Catalyst 2960 switch release notes for the list of SFP modules that the Catalyst 2960 switch supports. Each SFP module must be of the same type as the SFP module on the other end of the cable, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications. See the “SFP Module Cable Specifications” section on page A-4for cable
