Chapter 2 Switch Installation

Installing the Switch

After the switch is mounted in the rack, you need to do these tasks to complete the installation:

Power on the switch. See the “Verifying Switch Operation” section on page 2-5.

Connect to the RJ-45 connector of a dual-purpose port and run the Initial Configuration Dialog. See the Cisco ME 3400 and ME 2400 Ethernet Access Switches 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 2-20and the “Connecting to SFP Modules” section on page 2-21to complete the installation.

We recommend attaching the cable guide to prevent the cables from obscuring the front panel of the switch and the other devices installed in the rack. Use the supplied black screw shown in Figure 2-8to attach the cable guide to the left or right bracket.

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

Wall-Mounting

To install the switch on a wall, follow the instructions in these procedures:

Figure 2-10shows how to attach a 19-inch bracket to one side of the switch. Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side.
