Chapter 2 Switch Installation
Preparing for Installation
– One cable guide and one black Phillips machine screw for attaching the
cable guide to one of the mounting brackets
– One RPS connector cover (for wall mounting)
– Two Phillips pan-head screws (for attaching the RPS cover)
– Four Phillips truss-head screws (for wall-mounting brackets)
– StackWise cable: 0.5-meter, 1-meter, or 3-meter cable.
Note If you do not specify the length of the StackWise cable, the 0.5-meter
cable is supplied.
Verifying Switch Operation
Before installing the switch in a rack, on a wall, or on a table or shelf, you should
power the switch and verify that the switch passes POST. See Section 3, “Running
Express Setup,” in the getting started guide for the steps required to connect a PC
to the switch and to run Express Setup.
Powering On the Switch and Running POST
If your configuration has an RPS, connect the switch and the RPS to the same AC
power source. See the “Power Connectors” section on page 1-28, and see the
Cisco RPS documentation for more information.
Note Always put the RPS in standby mode when you are connecting devices to it and
in active mode during normal operation.
To power on the switch, connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC power
connector on the switch, and connect the other end of the power cord to an AC
power outlet.
