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 2-43.
Warning
To comply with safety regulations, mount the switches on a wall with the front panel facing up.
Statement 266
Figure 2-43 Mounting the Switch on a Wall
After the switch is mounted on the wall, you might need to perform these tasks to complete the
installation, run the setup program, and access the switch:
• (Optional) Connect the switches in the stacks. See the “Connecting StackWise Cable to StackWise
Ports” section on page 2-30.
• Power on the switch. See the “Verifying Switch Operation” section on page 2-6. If the switches are
stacked, see the “Planning Considerations” section on page 2-8 for information on powering
considerations.
• Connect to a 10/100 or 10/100/1000 port and run Express Setup. See the Catalyst 3750 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 2-39 and the “Connecting to an SFP Module” section on page 2-41 to complete the
installation.
