Preface
Audience
This guide is for the networking or computer technician responsible for installing the Catalyst 3750 switches. We assume that you are familiar with the concepts and terminology of Ethernet and local area networking.
Purpose
This guide documents the hardware features of the Catalyst 3750 family of switches. It describes the physical and performance characteristics of each switch, explains how to install a switch, and provides troubleshooting information.
This guide does not describe system messages that you might receive or how to configure your switch. For more information, see the switch software configuration guide, the switch command reference, and the switch system message guide on the Cisco.com Product Documentation home page. For information about the standard Cisco IOS Release 12.1 or 12.2 commands, see the Cisco IOS documentation set from the Cisco.com home page by choosing Support > Documentation > Product and Support Documentation/Cisco IOS Software.

This guide is organized into these chapters:
Chapter 1, "Product Overview," is a physical and functional overview of the Catalyst 3750 family of switches. It describes the switch ports, the standards they support, and the switch LEDs.
Chapter 2, "Switch Installation," contains the procedures on how to power on the switch; stack the switches; install the switch in a rack, on a wall, on a table, or shelf; and how to make port connections.
Chapter 3, "Troubleshooting," describes how to identify and resolve some of the problems that might occur when you install the switch and how to identify the serial number when it is necessary to call technical support for help.
Appendix A, "Technical Specifications," lists the physical and environmental specifications for the switches and the regulatory agency approvals.
Appendix B, "Connector and Cable Specifications," describes the connectors, cables, and adapters that you use to connect the switch.
Appendix C, "Connecting to DC Power," describes how to make DC power connections to the Catalyst 3750G-12S-SD switch.
