Installing the Switch
Figure 2-13 Mounting the Catalyst 3550-12T and 3550-12G Switches in a Rack
Figure 2-14 Mounting the Catalyst 3550-24, 3550-48, 3550-24-FX, and 3550-24-DC Switches in a Rack
After the switch is mounted in the rack, see the “Attaching the Cable Guide”
section on page 2-17 and the “Powering On the Switch” section on page 2-24 to
complete the installation.
Attaching the Cable Guide
We recommend attaching the cable guide to prevent the cables from obscuring the
front panel of the switch and the other devices installed in the rack. Use the
supplied black screw, as shown in Figure 2-15 and Figure 2-16 to attach the cable
guide to the left or right bracket.
