Statement 371—Power Cable and AC Adapter
Note The grounding architecture of this product is DC-isolated (DC-I).
When you determine where to place the switch, be sure to observe these requirements:
•The operating environment is within the ranges listed in "Technical Specifications."
•Airflow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted.
•Clearance to front and rear panels meets these conditions:
–You can easily read the front-panel indicators.
–Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.
–The rear-panel power connector is within reach of an AC power receptacle.
•Temperature around the unit does not exceed 113°F (45°C).
If the switch is installed in a closed or multirack assembly, the temperature around it might be greater than normal room temperature.
•Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures. Make sure the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables.
•For copper Ethernet ports, including 10/100 ports, 10/100/1000 ports, and 1000BASE-T SFP module ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected devices can be up to 328 feet (100 meters).
•The cables meet the specifications in Table B-1, which lists the cable specifications for 1000BASE-X and 100BASE-X SFP modules for the Catalyst 3560 switch. Catalyst 3560 switch SFP ports use both GLC-GE-100XX and GLC-FE-100XX SFP modules.
When you use shorter lengths of single-mode fiber cable, you might need to insert an inline optical attenuator in the link to avoid overloading the receiver.
When the fiber-optic cable span is less than 15.43 miles (25 km), you should insert a 5-decibel (dB) or 10-dB inline optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX SFP module at each end of the link.
•Cisco Ethernet Switches are equipped with cooling mechanisms, such as fans and blowers. However, these fans and blowers can draw dust and other particles, causing contaminant buildup inside the chassis, which can result in a system malfunction.
You must install this equipment in an environment as free as possible from dust and foreign conductive material (such as metal flakes from construction activities).
These standards provide guidelines for acceptable working environments and acceptable levels of suspended particulate matter:
–Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) GR-63-CORE
–National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Type 1
–International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) IP-20
This applies to all Cisco Ethernet switches except for this compact model:
–Catalyst 3560-8PC switch—8 10/100 PoE ports and 1 dual-purpose port (one 10/100/1000BASE-T copper port and one SFP module slot)
The switch getting started guide on Cisco.com describes the box contents. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your Cisco representative or reseller for support.
You need to supply a number-2 Phillips screwdriver to rack-mount the switch.
Before you install the switch in a rack, on a wall, or on a table or shelf, you should power the switch and verify that the switch passes POST. See Section 3, "Running Express Setup," in the getting started guide for the steps required to connect a PC to the switch and to run Express Setup.
If your configuration has an RPS, connect the switch and the RPS to the same AC power source. See the "Cisco RPS" section, and see the Cisco RPS documentation for more information.
Note When you connect the RPS to the switch, put the RPS in standby mode. Set the RPS to active mode during normal operation.
To power on the switch, connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC power connector on the switch, and connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power outlet.
Warning Attach only the following Cisco RPS model to the RPS receptacle: PWR-RPS2300, PWR675-AC-RPS-N1=. Statement 370 |
As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the switch functions properly. LEDs can blink during the test. POST lasts approximately 1 minute. When the switch begins POST, the System, RPS, Status, Duplex, and Speed LEDs turn green. The System LED blinks green, and the other LEDs remain solid green.
When the POST completes successfully, the System LED remains green. The RPS LED remains green for some time and then reflects the switch operating status. The other LEDs turn off and then reflect the switch operating status. If a switch fails POST, the System LED turns amber.
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST.
After a successful POST, disconnect the power cord from the switch. Install the switch in a rack, on a wall, on a table, or on a shelf as described in the "Installing the Switch" section.

3. Connect to the front-panel ports.
Note When the connectors are not being used, replace the dust covers on them for protection.
The SFP modules are inserted into the SFP module slots on the front and provide uplink interfaces. You can use any combination of SFP modules. See the Catalyst 3560 release notes for the list of supported SFP modules. Each port must match the wave-length specifications on the other end of the cable, and for reliable communications, the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length. See the Table B-1 for cable stipulations for SFP connections.
Use only Cisco SFP modules. Each SFP module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information, which Cisco uses to identify and validate that the SFP module meets the requirements for the switch.
For detailed instructions on installing, removing, and cabling the SFP module, see the SFP module documentation.
Figure 2-13 shows an SFP module that has a bale-clasp latch.
Figure 2-13 SFP Module with a Bale-Clasp Latch
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2 Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings that identify the top side of the SFP module.
Note On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be replaced by arrows that show the direction of the connection, either send or receive (TX or RX).
Step 3 Align the SFP module in front of the slot opening.
Step 4 Insert the SFP module into the slot until you feel the connector on the module snap into place in the rear of the slot. (See Figure 2-14.)
Figure 2-14 Installing an SFP Module into an SFP Module Slot
Step 5 For fiber-optic SFP modules, remove the dust plugs from the optical ports, and store them for later use.
Step 6 Insert the cable connector into the SFP module:
•For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert the LC or MT-RJ cable connector into the SFP module.
•For copper SFP modules, insert the RJ-45 cable connector into the SFP module.
Note When connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP modules, be sure to use a twisted four-pair, Category 5 cable.
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2 Disconnect the cable from the SFP module, and insert a dust plug into the cable end.
Note For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send (TX) and which is receive (RX).
Step 3 Unlock and remove the SFP module, as shown in Figure 2-15.
If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If the bale-clasp latch is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, carefully use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open the bale-clasp latch.

Step 4 Grasp the SFP module between your thumb and index finger, and carefully remove it from the module slot.
Step 5 For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the optical interfaces clean.
Step 6 Place the removed SFP module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2 Insert the SFP module patch cable into the slot until you feel the connector on the cable snap into place in the rear of the slot (see Figure 2-16).
Figure 2-16 Inserting an SFP Module Patch Cable into an SFP Module Slot
Step 3 Repeat these steps for the second Catalyst 3560 switch to which you want to cascade the first switch. See Figure 2-17.
Figure 2-17 Connecting Two Catalyst 3560 Switches with an SFP Module Patch Cable
To remove an SFP module patch cable from the SFP module slot, release the connector, and pull it from the SFP module slot.
The switch 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached devices. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly set the speed and duplex parameters. Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have their speed and duplex parameters manually set can reduce performance or result in no linkage.
Note You can configure duplex mode to half, full, or autonegotiate on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces if the speed is set to 10 or 100 Mb/s. You cannot configure half-duplex mode on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces if the interface speed is 1000 Mb/s.
Warning Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals. Avoid using such interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a restricted access location and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted access location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security. Statement 1072 |
To maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the Ethernet ports:
•Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.
•Set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.
You can configure the 10/100 or 10/100/1000 ports on the Catalyst 3560 PoE switches either to automatically provide PoE if a Cisco IP Phone, Cisco Aironet Access Point, or end device compliant with IEEE 802.3af is connected or to never provide PoE, even if an IP phone or an access point is connected. The default setting is Auto. To prevent electrostatic-discharge (ESD) damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures.
You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to enable the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a copper 10/100, 10/100/1000, or 1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the connection.
The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default on switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SE or later. For releases between Cisco IOS Release 12.1(14)EA1 and 12.2(18)SE, the auto-MDIX feature is disabled by default. For configuration information for this feature, see the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference.
The Catalyst 3560 switch can connect to a Cisco IP Phone through a straight-through, twisted four-pair Category 5 cable. The rear panel of the Cisco IP Phone might have more than one RJ-45 connector. Use the LAN-to-phone connector to connect the IP phone to the switch. See the Cisco IP Phone documentation for more information about connecting devices.
Many legacy powered devices, including older Cisco IP phones and access points that do not fully support IEEE 802.3af, might not support PoE when connected to the switches by a crossover cable.
•Connecting to 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX Devices
•Connecting to Fiber-Optic SFP Modules
•Connecting to 1000BASE-T SFP Modules
•Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port
Step 1 When connecting to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, connect a straight-through cable to an RJ-45 connector on the front panel. (See Figure 2-18.) When connecting to switches or repeaters, use a crossover cable. (See the "Cable and Adapter Specifications" section for cable-pinout descriptions.)
Figure 2-18 Connecting to an Ethernet Port
Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector on the other device. The port LED turns on when both the switch and the connected device have established link.
The port LED is amber while Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) discovers the topology and searches for loops. This takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green. If the port LED does not turn on, the device at the other end might not be turned on, or there might be a cable problem or a problem with the adapter installed in the attached device. See Chapter 4 "Troubleshooting," for solutions to cabling problems.
Step 3 Reconfigure and reboot the connected device, if necessary.
Step 4 Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each device.
Warning Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008 |
Step 1 Remove the rubber plugs from the module port and fiber-optic cable, and store them for future use.
Step 2 Insert one end of the fiber-optic cable into the SFP module port (see Figure 2-19).

Step 3 Insert the other cable end into a fiber-optic connector on a target device.
Step 4 Observe the port status LED.
•The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established link.
•The LED turns amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.
•If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See Chapter 4 "Troubleshooting," for solutions to cabling problems.
Step 5 If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or target device.
Note When connecting to a 1000BASE-T device, use a four twisted-pair, Category 5 or higher cable.
The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default. For configuration information for this feature, see the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference.
Step 1 Insert one end of the cable into the SFP module port (see Figure 2-20). When connecting to servers, workstations, and routers, insert a four twisted-pair, straight-through cable in the RJ-45 connector. When connecting to switches or repeaters, insert a four twisted-pair, crossover cable.
Figure 2-20 Connecting to a 1000BASE-T SFP Module

RJ-45 connector |
Step 2 Insert the other cable end in an RJ-45 connector on a target device.
Step 3 Observe the port status LED.
•The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established link.
•The LED turns amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.
•If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See Chapter 4 "Troubleshooting," for solutions to cabling problems.
Step 4 If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or target device.
Step 1 Connect an RJ-45 connector to the 10/100/1000 port, or install an SFP module into the SFP module slot, and connect a cable to the SFP module port, as shown in Figure 2-21.
Figure 2-21 Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port

Only one port can be active at a time. If both ports are connected, the SFP module port has priority. You cannot configure the priority setting.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the other device. The switch automatically detects the connection and configures the port.
Note By default, the switch automatically selects the interface type the first time a port links up. For subsequent links, you must use the media-type interface configuration command to manually configure either the RJ-45 connector or the SFP module connector. For more information, see the command reference. .
If the default configuration is satisfactory, the switch does not need further configuration. You can use any of these management options to change the default configuration:
•Start the device manager, which is in the switch memory, to manage individual switches. The device manager is a web interface that offers quick configuration and monitoring. You can access the device manager from anywhere in your network through a web browser. For more information, see the device manager online help.
•Start the Network Assistant application, which is described in the Getting Started with Cisco Network Assistant guide. Through this GUI, you can configure and monitor a switch cluster or an individual switch.
•Use the CLI from the console to configure the switch as a member of a cluster or as an individual switch. See the Catalyst 3560 Switch Software Configuration Guide and the Catalyst 3560 Switch Command Reference on Cisco.com for information on using the CLI with a Catalyst 3560 switch.
•Start an SNMP application such as the CiscoView application.
