Installing the Switch

Wall-Mounting (with Mounting Screws)

This section is specific to the Catalyst 2960 8-port switches. For information applicable to the other Catalyst 2960 switches, see Chapter 2, “Switch Installation (24- and 48-Port Switches).”

The steps in this section show how to mount the switch with the front panel facing down (as shown in Figure 3-5 on page 3-12and Figure 3-6 on page 3-13.)

Note Do not wall-mount the switch with its front panel facing up or sideways. According to safety regulations, wall-mount the switch with its front panel facing down to prevent airflow restriction and to provide easier access to the cables.

Follow the steps in this section to install the switch to a wall:

Step 1 Locate the screw template. The template is used to align the mounting screw holes.

Step 2 Position the screw template so that the two side-by-side slots face toward the floor, as shown in Figure 3-5.

For the best support of the switch and cables, make sure that you attach the switch securely to a wall stud or to a firmly attached plywood mounting backboard.

Step 3 Peel the adhesive strip off the bottom of the screw template.
