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 2-4.
• Connect to the console port, and run the initial configuration. See the Cisco ME 3800X and
ME 3600X Switch Getting Started Guide for instructions.
• Connect to the front-panel ports. See the “Connecting to the 10/100/1000 Ports” section on
page 2-19 and the “Connecting to Fiber-Optic SFP+ and SFP Modules” section on page 2-20.
For configuration instructions about using the CLI setup program, go to Appendix C, “Configuring the
Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”
