Before You Begin

When you determine where to install the switch, verify that these guidelines are met:

• Operating environment is within the range in the switch hardware installation guide.
• Clearance to front and rear panels meets these conditions:

– Front-panel LEDs can be easily read.

– Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.

– Front-panel direct current (DC) power and alarm connectors are within reach of the connection to the DC power source.

• Airflow around the switch must be unrestricted. To prevent the switch from overheating, there must be the following minimum clearances:

– Top and bottom: 2.0 in. (50.8 mm)

– Sides: 2.0 in. (50.8 mm)

– Front: 2.0 in. (50.8 mm)

Contact your Cisco TAC if tighter spacings are required.

• Temperature surrounding the unit does not exceed 140°F (60°C), the maximum ambient temperature of the switch.

Note When the switch is installed in an industrial enclosure, the temperature within the enclosure is greater than normal room temperature outside the enclosure.

• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
• This product is grounded to a bare metal surface, such as a ground bus, a grounded DIN rail, or a grounded bare rack. Use a zinc-plated, yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The use of other materials (such as aluminum, plastic, and so on) that can corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors can result in improper or intermittent grounding. When grounding to a DIN rail, secure the DIN rail to the mounting surface approximately every 7.8 in. (200 mm), and use appropriate end-anchors.

Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Statement 1003

Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030

Caution You must connect the switch only to a DC-input power source that has an input supply voltage of 12, 24, or 48 VDC. If the supply voltage is not in this range, the switch might not operate properly or might be damaged.

---

Caution For wire connections to the power and alarm connectors, you must use UL- and CSA-rated, style 1007 or 1569 twisted-pair copper appliance wiring material (AWM) wire.

---

To wire the switch to a DC-input power source:

Step 1	Locate the power connector.
Step 2	Identify the positive and return DC power connections on the connector. The positive DC power connection is labeled “+”, and the return is the adjacent connection labeled “-” on the switch.
Step 3	Measure a strand of twisted-pair copper wire (16- to 18-AWG) long enough to connect to the DC power source.
Step 4	Using a 16- to 18-gauge wire-stripping tool, strip each of the two wires to 0.25 inch (6.3 mm) ± 0.02 inch (0.5 mm). Do not strip more than 0.27 inch (6.8 mm) of insulation from the wire. Stripping more than the recommended amount of wire can leave exposed wire from the connector after installation.
Step 5	Remove the two captive screws that attach the power connector to the switch, and remove the power connector. Remove both connectors if you are connecting to two power sources.
Step 6	On the power connector, insert the exposed part of the positive wire into the connection labeled “+” and the exposed part of the return wire into the connection labeled “–”. Make sure that you cannot see any wire lead. Only wire with insulation should extend from the connector.
Step 7	Use a ratcheting torque flathead screwdriver to torque the power connector captive screws (above the installed wire leads) to 2 in-lb (0.23 N-m), the maximum recommended torque.
Step 8	Connect the other end of the positive wire (the one connected to +) to the positive terminal on the DC power source, and connect the other end of the return wire (the one connected to RT) to the return terminal on the DC power source.
Step 9	If you are installing the switch and are using a second power source, repeat Step 3 through Step 7 using a second power connector.

Attaching the Power Connector

To connect the DC power connector to the switch:

Step 1	Insert the power connector into the receptacle on the switch front panel.
Step 2	Use a flathead screwdriver to tighten the captive screws on the sides of the power connector.
Step 3	(Optional) Insert a second power connector into the receptacle on the switch front panel.
Step 4	Use a flathead screwdriver to tighten the captive screws on the sides of the second power connector.
Step 5	To apply power to a switch that is directly connected to a DC power source, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, and switch the circuit breaker to the ON position.

Optional Procedures

For detailed instructions on these procedures, see the Cisco IE 2000U Switch Hardware Installation Guide on Cisco.com:

• Wiring the external alarm relays
• Installation in a hazardous environment

Connecting to 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports

Caution To prevent electrostatic-discharge (ESD) damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures.

---

To connect to the ports:

Step 1 When you connect these switches to any Ethernet-enabled communication devices, insert a straight-through twisted four-pair, Category 5 or higher grade cable (unshielded twisted pair (UTP)) in a switch 10/100 or 10/100/1000 port.

Figure 2 Connecting to an Ethernet Port

Step 2 Insert the other cable end into an RJ-45 connector on the other device.

The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default. For configuration information for this feature, see the Cisco Connected Grid Switches Interfaces Software Configuration Guide at www.cisco.com/go/ie2000u-docs or the Cisco IOS 15.2M&T command references at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11746/prod_command_reference_list.html.

Installing SFP Modules and Connecting to Ports

To install the modules and connect to ports:

Step 1	Grasp the module on the sides, and insert it into the switch slot until you feel the connector snap into place.
Step 2	Insert an appropriate cable into the module port.
Step 3	Insert the other cable end into the other device.

For a list of supported modules, see the Release Notes for the Cisco IE 2000U Switch at www.cisco.com/go/ie2000u-docs. For detailed instructions on installing, removing, and connecting to SFP modules, see the documentation that came with the SFP module.

Caution Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP modules more often than is absolutely necessary.

---

Connecting to Dual-Purpose Ports

Only one port on a dual-purpose port can be active at a time. If both ports are connected, the SFP module port has priority.

To connect to the ports:

Step 1 Insert either an RJ-45 connector to the 10/100/1000 port (see the “Connecting to 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ports” section), or install an SFP module into the SFP module slot, and connect a cable to the SFP module port. (See the “Installing SFP Modules and Connecting to Ports” section.)

Step 2 Insert the other cable end into the other device.

Verifying Port Connectivity

After you connect to the switch port and another device, the port LED turns amber while the switch establishes a link. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established link. If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter installed in the target device.

Resetting the Switch

These are reasons why you might want to reset the switch to the factory default settings:

• You installed the switch in your network and cannot connect to it because you assigned the wrong IP address.
• You want to reset the password on the switch.

Caution Resetting the switch deletes the configuration and reboots the switch.

---

To reset the switch:

Power up the switch and wait a couple of minutes for it to boot up completely.

The configuration is reset and the system reboots.

The switch now behaves like an unconfigured switch. You can configure the switch by using the CLI setup procedure as described in the Cisco IE 2000U Switch Hardware Installation Guide.
