Tools and Equipment
Obtain these necessary tools:
• A Number-2 Phillips screwdriver to rack-mount the switch
• Drill with #27 drill bit (0.144-inch [3.7 mm]) for mounting an 8-port and 16-port switch
Installation Guidelines
When determining where to install the switch, verify that these guidelines are met:
• Clearance to the switch front and rear panel meets these conditions:
• Front-panel LEDs can be easily read.
• Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.
• AC power cord can reach from the AC power outlet to the connector on the switch rear panel.
• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting
fixtures. Make sure that the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables.
• Airflow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted.
• 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.
The Catalyst 2960L-16PS-LL switch has a maximum operating temperature of
40°C. All the other switches have a maximum operating temperature of 45°C.
When using these products with the GLC-T SFP module, the thermal limitations
are as follows:
• Up to 5000 feet altitude, operating temperature should not exceed
40°C(Catalyst 2960L-16PS-LL 35C).
• Up to 10000 feet altitude, operating temperature should not exceed
35°C(Catalyst 2960L-16PS-LL 30C).
Note
• Humidity around the switch does not exceed 90 percent.
• Altitude at the installation site is not greater than 10,000 feet.
• For 10/100/1000 fixed ports, the cable length from a switch to a connected device cannot exceed 328
feet (100 meters).
