Chapter 2 Switch Installation
Installing the Switch
After the switch is mounted in the rack, you need to do these tasks to complete the
installation:
•
Power on the switch. See the
“Verifying Switch Operation” section on
page 2-8
.
•
Connect to a 10/100 or 10/100/1000 port and run Express Setup. See the
Catalyst 2970 Switch Getting Started Guide
for instructions
•
Connect to the front-panel ports. See the
“Connecting to the 10/100/1000
Ports” section on page 2-27
and the
“Connecting to SFP Modules” section on
page 2-30
to complete the installation.
For configuration instructions about using the CLI setup program, go to
Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”
Attaching the Cable Guide
We recommend attaching the cable guide to prevent the cables from obscuring the
front panel of the switch and the other devices installed in the rack. Use the
supplied black screw shown in
Figure 2-16
to attach the cable guide to the left or
right bracket.
