the illustrations in this section show the catalyst 3750g-24ts switch as an example. all the catalyst 3750 switches are wall-mounted following the same procedures.
attaching the brackets to the switch for wall-mounting
figure 3-30 shows how to attach a 19-inch bracket to one side of the switch.
follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side.
attaching the rps connector cover
if you are not using an rps with your switch, use the two phillips pan-head screws to attach the rps connector cover to the back of the switch, as shown in figure 3-31 and figure 3-32.
if an rps is not connected to the switch, install an rps connector cover on the back of 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 3-33.
to comply with safety regulations, mount the switches on a wall with the front panel facing up.
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:
1?(optional) connect the switches in the stacks. see the "connecting stackwise cable to stackwise ports"?section on page 3-37.
2?connect to the console port, and start the emulation software. see the "connecting" to the console port?section on page 1-4 and the "starting the terminal emulation software"?section on page 1-6.
3?power on the switch. see the "connecting to a power source"?section on page 1-6. if the switches are stacked, see the “powering considerations” section on page 3-13.
4?run the setup program. see the "completing the setup program?section on page d-11.
5?connect to the front-panel ports. see the "connecting to the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports?section on page 3-44 and the "connecting to an sfp module"?section on page 3-46 to complete the installation.
to use the cli, enter commands at the switch] prompt through the console port by using a terminal program or through the network by using telnet. for configuration information, refer to the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference. to use cms, go to the “launching the switch home page” section on page c-3.
table or shelf mounting
follow these steps to install the switch on a table or shelf:
step 1 locate the adhesive strip with the rubber feet in the mounting-kit envelope.
attach the four rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the unit.
step 2 place the switch on the table or shelf near an ac power source.
after the switch is mounted on the table, you might need to perform these tasks to complete the installation, run the setup program, and access the switch:
1?(optional) connect the switches in the stacks. see the "connecting stackwise cable to stackwise ports"?section on page 3-37.
2?connect to the console port, and start the emulation software. see the "connecting to the console port?section on page 1-4 and the "starting the terminal emulation software"?section on page 1-6.
