Attaching the Optional Cable Guide
We recommend attaching the cable guides to prevent the cables from obscuring
the front panel of the switch and the other devices installed in the rack. If the
switch is in a 19-inch or 24-inch rack, use the supplied black screw, as shown in
Figure 2-6, to attach the cable guide to the left or right bracket.
Note The Catalyst 3548 XL switch ships with a special cable guide as
showninFigure2-7.Thiscableguidesecuresupto48cables.Use
the supplied black screw to mount it on the left bracket.
