11 Install the switch
Before you install the switch, review the Regulatory Compliance
and Safety Information document that came with your switch.
For more information about installation, see the User Guide for
the Catalyst Express 500 Switches online at Cisco.com.
When selecting an installation site, observe these guidelines:
• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as
radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
• Clearance to the switch front and rear panels is such that
–
Airflow around the switch and through the vents is
unrestricted.
–
Front-panel LEDs can be easily read.
–
Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.
–
AC power cord can reach from the AC power outlet to
the connector on the switch rear panel. The power
outlet must be accessible at all time because it serves as
the main method to disconnect power from the switch.
• Temperature does not exceed 113˚F (45˚C), humidity does
not exceed 85 percent, and altitude at the installation site is
not greater than 10,000 feet (3049 m).
Rack-mounting
Position the mounting bracket and screw on the side of the
switch. Tighten the screw with a screwdriver. Repeat on the
opposite side.
