Chapter 2 Switch Installation (24- and 48-Port Switches)

Installing the Switch

Mounting the Switch in a Rack

After the brackets are attached to the switch, use the four supplied number-12 Phillips machine screws
to securely attach the brackets to the rack, as shown in

Figure 2-8

Figure 2-8

Mounting the Catalyst 2960 Switch in a Rack

After the switch is mounted in the rack, do these tasks to complete the installation:

•

Power on the switch. See the

“Verifying Switch Operation” section on page 2-5

•

Connect to a 10/100 or 10/100/1000 port, and run Express Setup. See the

Catalyst 2960 Switch

Getting Started Guide

for instructions.

•

Connect to the front-panel ports. See the

“Connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports” section

on page 2-14

, the

“Connecting to SFP Modules” section on page 2-18

, and the

“Connecting to a

Dual-Purpose Port” section on page 2-20

to complete the installation.

For configuration instructions about using the command-line interface (CLI) setup program, go to

Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”
