Chapter 3 Installation

Verifying Switch Operation

Follow these steps to apply the protective liner:

Step 1 Peel the protective liner from the backing.

Step 2 Apply the protective liner to the switch:

• If you are installing the switch in a parallel mounting position, apply the

protective liner to the switch top panel.

• If you are installing the switch in a face-down mounting position, apply the

protective liner to the switch rear panel.

Caution Remove the protective liner before applying power to the switch.

Failure to remove the protective liner could result in thermal damage to the

switch.

Verifying Switch Operation

Before installing the switch on a DIN rail or in a 19-inch rack, you should power

on the switch and verify that the switch passes POST. These sections describe the

steps required to connect a PC to the switch console port, to power on the switch,

and to observe POST:

Connecting a PC or a Terminal to the Console Port, page 3-11

Powering On the Switch and Running POST, page 3-13

Connecting a PC or a Terminal to the Console Port

To connect a PC to the console port, use the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter

cable. To connect a terminal to the console port, you need to provide an

RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter. You can order a kit (part number

ACS-DSBUASYN=) with that adapter from Cisco. For console-port and

adapter-pinout information, see the “Cable and Adapter Specifications” section

on page B-5.
