Installing the Switch

This section covers desk-mounting procedures. As examples, all the illustrations show the Catalyst 2960CPD-8PT-L switch. For alternate mounting procedures, such as installing the switch in a rack, under the desk, on a wall, or for using a mounting tray and magnet, see the Catalyst 3560-C and 2960-C Switch Hardware Installation Guide on Cisco.com.

Equipment That You Need

•Number-2 Phillips screwdriver

•Drill with a #27 drill bit (0.144-inch [3.7 mm])

Before You Begin

Before installing the switch, these guidelines must be met:

•Clearance to front panels is such that the LEDs can be easily read.

•Power cord reaches from the power outlet to the connector on the switch.

•Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.

•Temperature around the unit does not exceed 113°F (45°C). If the switch is installed in a closed or multirack assembly, the temperature around it might be greater than normal room temperature.

•Humidity around the switch does not exceed 95 percent.

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