SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS The safety warnings for this product are translated into several languages in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Catalyst 2975 Switch that ships with the product. The EMC regulatory statements are also included in that guide.
Product Overview The Catalyst 2975 of switch is a stackable Ethernet switch to which you can connect devices like Cisco IP Phones, Cisco Wireless Access Points, workstations, and other network devices such as servers, routers, and other switches. The switch supports stacking through Cisco stack technology. Unless otherwise noted, the term switch refers to a standalone switch and to a switch stack.
The switch delivers 15.4 W of PoE on any 24 of the 48 ports, or any combination of the ports deliver an average of 7.7 W of PoE at the same time, up to a maximum switch power output of 370 W. On a per-port basis, you can control whether or not a port automatically provides power when an IP phone or an access point is connected.

The RPS is in standby mode or in a fault condition. See the RPS documentation for more information about the standby mode and fault conditions. The power supply in a switch has failed, and the RPS is providing power to the switch (redundancy has been allocated to this device).

LED is off even if the powered device is connected to the switch port. Green PoE is on. The port LED is green only when the switch port is providing power. Alternating PoE is denied because providing power to the powered device will green and exceed the 370-W switch power capacity.

(stack member) If your switches are stacked and you press the Mode button on any switch in the stack, all the switches change to display the same selected mode. For example, if you press the mode button on the stack master to display SPEED, all the other stack members display SPEED.

Stack LEDs are amber when the ports are down. SFP module port LEDs 51 and 52 on the switch show the status for stack ports 1 and 2, respectively. If the port LEDs are green on all the switches in the stack, the stack is operating at full bandwidth. If any port LED is not green, the stack is not operating at full bandwidth.
2 RJ-45 console port 3 Fan exhaust Stack Ports The Catalyst 2975 switch ships with a 0.5-meter stack cable to connect the stack ports. Use only approved cables, and connect only to other Catalyst 2975 switches. Equipment might be Caution damaged if connected to other nonapproved Cisco cables or equipment.
Warning PWR-RPS2300, PWR675-AC-RPS-N1=. Statement 370 Connect the Catalyst 2975 switch and the redundant power system to the same AC power source. Cisco RPS 2300 and RPS 675 The Cisco RPS 2300 has two output levels: –52 V and 12 V with a total maximum output power of 2300 W.
• Cisco IOS CLI You can fully configure and monitor the switch and switch cluster members from the CLI. You can access the CLI by connecting your management station directly to the switch console port or by using Telnet from a remote management station. See the switch command reference on Cisco.com for more information.

This section includes the basic installation caution and warning statements. Read this section before you start the installation procedure. Translations of the warning statements appear in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Catalyst 2975 Switch guide on the documentation CD and online at Cisco.com.
Statement 48 Warning If a redundant power system (RPS) is not connected to the switch, install an RPS connector cover on the back of the switch. Statement 265 To comply with safety regulations, mount switches on a wall with the front panel facing up.

The sequence in which the switches are first powered on might affect the switch that becomes the • stack master. If you want a particular switch to be the stack master, power on that switch first. This switch • becomes the stack master and remains the stack master until a master re-election is required. After 1 minute, power on the other switches in the stack.
19 inch ETSI 23/24 inch Attaching the Rack-Mount Brackets First remove the screws from the switch chassis so that the mounting brackets can be attached (Figure 2-10). For bracket attachment, remove one or two screws, depending on the bracket mounting position.

Installing the Switch Attaching the RPS Connector Cover If you are not using an RPS with your switch, use the two Phillips pan-head screws to attach the RPS connector cover to the back of the switch Warning If an RPS is not connected to the switch, install an RPS connector cover on the back of the switch.
Mounting on a Wall For the best support of the switch and cables, make sure that the switch is attached securely to wall studs or to a firmly attached plywood-mounting backboard. Mount the switch with the front panel facing up (Figure 2-15).
Remove the dust covers from the stack cables and stack ports, and store them for future use. Use the window in the stack cable to align the connector. Insert the cable into the stack port on the switch Step 2...
See the “SFP Module Slots” section on page 1-2 of supported SFP modules. Use only Cisco SFP modules on the switch. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information. This encoding provides a way for Cisco to identify and validate that the module meets the requirements for the switch.

The switch delivers 15.4 W of PoE on any 24 of the 48 ports, or any combination of the ports delivers an average of 7.7 W of PoE at the same time, up to a maximum switch power output of 370 W. On a per-port basis, you can control whether or not a port automatically provides power when an IP phone or an access point is connected.
With autonegotiation, the switch ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of the attached device. If the attached device does not support autonegotiation, you can set the switch port speed and duplex parameters.
Switch POST Results As the switch powers on, it begins the power-on self-test (POST), a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the switch functions properly. It might take several minutes for the switch to complete POST.
• For copper connections, determine if a crossover cable was used when a straight-through was required, or the reverse. Enable auto-MDIX on the switch, or replace the cable. See the for recommended Ethernet cables. Link Status Verify that both sides have link. A single broken wire or one shutdown port can cause one side to show link, but the other side does not have link.
PoE fault from the network.) SFP Module Issues Use only Cisco SFP modules on the switch. Each Cisco module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information. This encoding provides a way for Cisco to identify and validate that the module meets the requirements for the switch.
Clearing the Switch IP Address and Configuration If you have configured a new switch with a wrong IP address, or if all of the switch LEDs start blinking when you are trying to enter Express Setup mode, you can clear the configured IP address. The switch returns to the factory default settings.
Press and hold the Mode button The switch LEDs begin blinking after about 2 seconds. If the switch is not configured, the LEDs above the Mode button turn green. You can omit the next step.
Reinstall any modules, and make cable connections. Turn on the replacement switch. The replacement switch has the same configuration for all the interfaces as the failed switch and functions the same as the failed switch. If you had manually set the member numbers for any members in the stack, you need to manually assign the replacement switch with the same member number as the failed switch.
