Cisco C9350 Series Smart Switches Hardware Installation Guide
How to install the Cisco C9350 switch.
You can either rack mount the Cisco C9350 series smart switches or install the switch on a shelf or table. This section describes both these methods.
Installation in racks other than 19-inch racks requires a bracket kit that is not shipped with the switch. You must order this bracket kit separately.
Statement 1006—Chassis Warning for Rack-Mounting and Servicing
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

You can use the minimum recommended number of two screws for installing the rack-mount bracket to each side of the switch. If required, while mounting, you can use the additional four screws provided in the accessory kit.
Use two Phillips flat-head screws to attach the long side of the bracket to each side of the switch for the front or rear mounting positions. 
|
| 1. | Use the four supplied Phillips machine screws to attach the brackets to the rack. |
|
| 2. | Use the black Phillips machine screw to attach the cable guide to the left or right bracket. You can do front-mounting, rear-mounting, mid-mounting, or four-point mounting of the switch. |
| 1. | To install the switch on a table or shelf, locate the adhesive strip with the rubber feet in the mounting-kit envelope. |
|
| 2. | Attach the four rubber feet to the four circular etches on the bottom of the chassis. |
|
| 3. | Place the switch on the table or shelf near an AC power source. |
|
| 4. | When you complete the switch installation, refer to the Post-install procedures for information on switch configuration. |
After installing the Cisco C9350 series smart switches
Configure the switch either through the CLI or Web User Interface,
Connect the StackWise cables for a data stack,
Connect the StackPower cables for a switch stack,
Install the power cord retainer (optional),
Install network modules,
Install transceiver modules,
Connect the required devices to the switch ports, and
Switch on the power supply switches to power up the system. While powering up, the switch performs a series of bootup diagnostic tests.
