Chapter 2 Switch Installation

Installation Guidelines

Installation Guidelines

Before installing the switch, verify that these guidelines are met:

Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures. Make sure that the cabling is away from other devices that might damage the cables.

Operating environment is within the ranges listed in Appendix A, “Technical Specifications.”

Relative humidity around the switch does not exceed 95 percent (noncondensing).

Altitude at the installation site is not higher than 10,000 feet.

For 10/100 and 10/100/1000 fixed ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected devices are not more than 328 feet (100 meters).

For cable lengths for small form-factor pluggable (SFP)-module connections, see the “SFP Module Cables” section on page B-4and the module documentation.

Airflow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted. To prevent overheating, the switch must meet the minimum clearance of 1.75 inches (4.4 cm) at the top and bottom.

Note If the switch is installed in a closed or multirack assembly, the temperature around it might be greater than normal room temperature.

Verifying Switch Operation

Before installing the switch in a rack or on a wall, you should power the switch and verify that the switch passes the power-on self-test (POST).

To wire the switch to the power source, see Chapter 3, “Power Supply Installation.”

When the switch begins POST, the SYS LED blinks green, and the other LEDs stay green. When the switch passes POST, the SYS LED turns green. The other LEDs turn off and return to their operating status. If the switch fails POST, the SYS LED is amber.

Note Contact Cisco Systems immediately if your switch fails POST.

After a successful POST, disconnect the power from the switch. For more information, see Chapter 3, “Power Supply Installation.” See the “Installing the Switch” section on page 2-4to install the switch in a rack or on a wall.
