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 3400E Ethernet Access 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 2-22, the “Connecting to Fiber-Optic SFP Modules” section on page 2-24, and the
“Connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP Modules” section on page 2-25 to 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 2-9
to attach the cable guide to the left or right bracket.
For configuration instructions about using the CLI setup program, go to Appendix C, “Configuring the
Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”
