Installing and Removing SFP Modules
For configuration instructions about using the CLI setup program, go to
Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”
Table- or Shelf-Mounting
Follow these steps to install the switch on a table or shelf:
Step 1 Locate the adhesive strip with the rubber feet in the mounting-kit envelope. Attach
the four rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the unit.
Step 2 Place the switch on the table or shelf near an AC power source.
After the switch is mounted on the table, you need to do these tasks to complete
the installation:
• Power on the switch. See the “Verifying Switch Operation” section on
page 2-8.
• Connect to a 10/100 or 10/100/1000 port and run Express Setup. See the
Catalyst 2970 Switch Getting Started Guide for instructions
• Connect to the front-panel ports. See the “Connecting to the 10/100/1000
Ports” section on page 2-27 and the “Connecting to SFP Modules” section on
page 2-30 to complete the installation.
For configuration instructions about using the CLI setup program, go to
Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”
Installing and Removing SFP Modules
These sections describe how to install and remove SFP modules. The modules are
inserted into the SFP module slots on the front of the Catalyst 2970G-24TS
switch. These field-replaceable modules provide uplink interfaces.
You can use any combination of SFP modules. See the Catalyst 2970 release notes
for the list of SFP modules that the Catalyst 2970G-24TS switch supports. Each
port must match the wave-length specifications on the other end of the cable, and
the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.
See the “Installation Guidelines” section on page 2-5 for cable stipulations for
SFP connections.
