Warning
Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE)
circuits if interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal
contacts, conductors, or terminals. Avoid using such interconnection methods,
unless the exposed metal parts are located within a restricted access location
and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted access
location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be
accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of
security.
You can configure the 10/100 ports on the Catalyst 3750-24PS and 3750-48PS
switches either to automatically provide PoE when a Cisco IP Phone, Cisco
Aironet Access Point, or end device compliant with IEEE 802.3af is connected or
never to provide PoE, even if an IP phone or an access point is connected. The
default setting is Auto. To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and
component handling procedures.
Use the guidelines in Table 3-2 to select the correct cable for connecting the
switch 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports to other devices. See the “Cable and Adapter
Specifications” section on page B-5 for cable-pinout descriptions.
