This section describes installation information specific to the Catalyst 2960-8TC and Catalyst
2960G-8TC switches. For information applicable to the other Catalyst 2960 switches, see the
Catalyst 2960 Switch Hardware Installation Guide on Cisco.com.
To place the switch on a desk without using the mounting screws, simply attach the four rubber feet
on the bottom panel of the switch.
To secure the switch on top of or under a desk or a shelf or on a wall, use the mounting template and
three mounting screws. Follow these steps:
1. Position the screw template on the mounting surface with the two side-by-side slots forward. Peel
the adhesive strip off the bottom, and attach the template (see Figure 1).
2. Use a 0.144-inch (3.7 mm) or a #27 drill bit to drill a 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) hole in the three template
screw slot positions.
3. Insert the screws in the slots on the template, and tighten until they touch the template. Remove
the template from the mounting surface (see Figure 1).
