Chapter 2 Switch Installation
Installing the Switch
Mounting the Switch on a Wall
For the best support of the switch and cables, make sure the switch is attached securely to wall studs or
to a firmly attached plywood mounting backboard. Mount the switch with the front panel facing up, as
shown in Figure 2-18.
Warning
To comply with safety regulations, mount switches on a wall with the front panel facing up.
Statement 266
Figure 2-18 Mounting the Switch on a Wall
After the switch is mounted on the wall, you need to do these tasks to complete the installation:
• Power on the switch. See the “Verifying Switch Operation” section on page 2-7.
• Connect to a 10/100 port, and run the Initial Configuration Dialog. See the Cisco ME 3400 and ME
2400 Ethernet Access Switches Getting Started Guide for instructions.
• Connect to the front-panel ports. See the “Connecting to the 10/100 Ports” section on page 2-22 and
the “Connecting to SFP Modules” section on page 2-23 to complete the installation.
For configuration instructions about using the CLI setup program, go to Appendix D, “Configuring the
Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”
