Chapter 2 Switch Installation

Verifying Switch Operation

Note You can use both the uplink port and the auxiliary power adapter. However, the auxiliary power input takes precedence.

Catalyst 3560CPD-8PT-S

•Connect a 10/100/1000 uplink port to a PoE+ switch, such as a Catalyst 3750-X. Or

•Plug the auxiliary power adapter cord into the switch AUX power connector and into an AC power outlet.

Note You can use both the uplink port and the auxiliary power adapter. However, the auxiliary power input takes precedence.

All models (except the Catalyst 2960CPD-8PT-L, 2960CPD-8TT-L, and 3560CPD-8PT-S)

•Plug the AC power cord to the switch AC power connector and into an AC power outlet.

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.
