Chapter 2 Switch Installation
Rack-Mounting the Switch
As the switch powers on, it begins POST, a series of tests that run automatically to ensure that the switch
functions properly. When the switch begins POST, the STATUS LED flashes amber for a minute, then
turns green when successfully completed. If POST fails, the STATUS LED stops flashing and stays a
steady Amber. If this happens, contact Cisco Systems to determine a course of action.
Powering Off the Switch and Disconnecting the Console Port
Disconnect the power cord from the switch. Disconnect the cable from the switch console port. Install
the switch in a rack, on a wall, or on a table or shelf as described in the “Rack-Mounting the Switch”
section on page 2-6.
Rack-Mounting the Switch
To install the switch in a 19-inch or 24-inch rack (24-inch racks require optional mounting hardware),
follow the instructions described in these procedures:
• Attaching Brackets to the Switch, page 2-6
• Mounting the Switch in a Rack, page 2-7
• Attaching the Cable Guide, page 2-7
Attaching Brackets to the Switch
Figure 2-2 shows how to attach the bracket to the switch. Follow the same steps to attach the second
bracket to the opposite side.
