Attaching the Switch to a Wall
For best support of the switch and cables, make sure the switch is attached
securely to a wall stud or to a firmly attached plywood mounting backboard, as
showninFigure2-9.

After the switch is mounted on the wall, attach the power cord to the switch. If
you are using the RPS, see the Cisco RPS documentation.
After the power is connected, the system LED turns amber for 2 seconds, and then
it flashes green while the switch completes a series of self-tests described in the
“Powering On the Switch and Running POST” sectiononpage2-15.
