Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Cisco CBS Series Switch. The Cisco CBS Series Switches combine powerful

network performance and reliability with a complete suite of network features that you need for a solid business

network. These expandable Gigabit Ethernet switches, with Gigabit or 10-Gigabit uplinks, provide multiple

management options, rich security capabilities, and Layer-3 static routing features far beyond those of an

unmanaged or consumer-grade switch, at a lower cost than fully managed switches.

Before You Begin

Before you begin installing your device, ensure that the following items are available:

• RJ-45 Ethernet cables for connecting network devices. A category 6a and higher cable is required for

10G ports; a category 5e and higher cable is required for all other ports.

• Tools for installing the hardware.

• The rack-mount kit packed with the switch contains four rubber feet for desktop placement, and

two brackets and twelve screws for rackmounting.

• If the supplied screws are lost, use replacement screws in the following size:

• Diameter of the screw head: 6.9 mm

• Length of face of screw head to base of screw: 5.9 mm

• Shaft diameter: 3.94 mm
