Package Contents
The cable guard is shipped with these items:
•Installation Notes for the Catalyst 2960-8TC, Catalyst 2960G-8TC, and Catalyst 3560-8PC Switches Cable Guard
•One 0.25 in. (0.64 cm) number-8 Phillips pan-head screw
•Two 0.5 in. (1.27 cm) number-8 Phillips pan-head screws
•Four number-8 Phillips pan-head, self-tapping screws
Note In some installations, you also need the screw template and three number-8 Phillips pan-head screws. These are included in the accessory kit with the switch.
Installation Guidelines
Connect all cables to the switch before attaching the cable guard to it. Then mount the switch, with the cable guard attached, on a wall or on or under a desk.
Note Cables cannot be connected to the switch after the cable guard is attached. For information about connecting devices to the switch, refer to the hardware installation guide.
Note We strongly recommend that you do not wall-mount the switch with its front panel facing up. We recommend wall-mounting the switch with its front panel facing down to prevent airflow restriction and to provide easier access to the cables.
Before you begin, decide how to mount the switch by reviewing these sections:
•"Installing the Switch On a Wall (Front Panel Facing Down)" section
•"Installing the Switch On or Under a Desk" section
•"Magnet-Mounting the Switch" section
Installing the Switch On a Wall (Front Panel Facing Down)
To install the switch with the front panel facing down, follow these steps:
Step 1 Locate the screw template (included in the switch accessory kit). The template is used to align the mounting screw holes and is also used as a guide to make sure that the screws are installed in the wall with proper clearance.
Step 2 Position the screw template so that the two side-by-side slots face toward the floor, as shown in Figure 1. For the best support of a switch with an attached cable guard, secure the screws to a wall stud or to a firmly attached plywood mounting backboard.
Step 3 Peel the adhesive strip off the bottom of the screw template.
Step 4 Attach the screw template to the wall.
Step 5 Use a 0.144-in. (3.7 mm) or a #27 drill bit to drill three 1/2-in. (12.7 mm) holes in the wall, using the screw template slots for alignment.
Step 6 Insert the three number-8 Phillips pan-head screws (included in the switch accessory kit) in the slots on the screw template, and tighten until they touch the top of the screw template. See Figure 1.

Step 7 Remove the screw template from the wall.
Step 8 Attach the cables to the switch, as shown in Figure 2. For information about devices that can be connected to the switch, refer to the hardware installation guide for your switch.
Figure 2 Attaching Cables to the Switch
Step 9 Slide the switch into the cable guard, as shown in Figure 3. Three hooks on the top of the cable guard secure the bottom of the switch against the cable guard.
Figure 3 Sliding Switch into Cable Guard
Step 10 Guide the connected cables through the slots in the front of the cable guard, as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 Cables Routed Through Slots In Cable Guard
Step 11 Use the two supplied 0.5 in. (1.27 cm) number-8 Phillips pan-head screws to attach the front of the cable guard to the switch, as shown in Figure 5.

Step 12 (Optional) Use the supplied 0.25 in. (0.64 cm) number-8 Phillips pan-head screw to attach the bottom of the switch to the cable guard, as shown in Figure 6. This optional screw helps prevent the switch from being easily removed from the cable guard.

Step 13 Slide the switch with an attached cable guard onto the three mounting screws, as shown in Figure 7.
The cable guard is made of thicker material than the switch chassis. To make sure that a switch with an attached cable guard securely slides onto the screws, you might need to loosen them slightly before sliding the switch onto them.
Note We strongly recommend that you do not wall-mount the switch with its front panel facing up. We recommend wall-mounting the switch with its front panel facing down to prevent airflow restriction and to provide easier access to the cables.
Figure 7 Sliding the Switch onto the Mounting Screws
Step 14 (Optional) Use the four number-8 Phillips pan-head screws from the cable guard kit to further secure the switch on the wall, as shown in Figure 8.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco's written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
· Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
· Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
· Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
· Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.
