Chapter 2 Switch Installation (24- and 48-Port Switches)
Verifying Switch Operation
When the fiber-optic cable span is less than 15.43 miles (25 km), you should insert a 5-decibel (dB)
or 10-dB inline optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the
1000BASE-ZX SFP module at each end of the link.
• Cisco Ethernet Switches are equipped with cooling mechanisms, such as fans and blowers.
However, these fans and blowers can draw dust and other particles, causing contaminant buildup
inside the chassis, which can result in a system malfunction.
You must install this equipment in an environment as free as possible from dust and foreign
conductive material (such as metal flakes from construction activities).
These standards provide guidelines for acceptable working environments and acceptable levels of
suspended particulate matter:
– Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) GR-63-CORE
– National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Type 1
– International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) IP-20
This applies to all Cisco Ethernet switches except for this compact model:
– Catalyst 3560-8PC switch—8 10/100 PoE ports and 1 dual-purpose port (one 10/100/1000BASE-T
copper port and one SFP module slot)

Tools and Equipment
You need to supply a number-2 Phillips screwdriver to rack-mount the switch.
Verifying Switch Operation
Before you install 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.
If your configuration has an RPS, connect the switch and the RPS to the same AC power source. See the
“Cisco RPS” section on page 1-19 , and see the Cisco RPS documentation for more information.
Note When you connect the RPS to the switch, put the RPS in standby mode. Set the RPS to 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.
Warning Attach only the following Cisco RPS model to the RPS receptacle:
PWR-RPS2300, PWR675-AC-RPS-N1=. Statement 370
