Installation Guidelines; Verifying Switch Operation - Cisco IE 3010 Installation Instructions Manual

Switch Installation

Installation Guidelines

Warning: For connections outside the building where the equipment is installed, the following ports must be
connected through an approved network termination unit with integral circuit protection.
10/100/1000 Ethernet Statement 1044
Warning: To prevent the system from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum
recommended ambient temperature of:
140°F (60°C) Statement 1047
Warning: Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074
Note: For U.S. installations, refer to national electrical code ANSI/NFPA 70.
Warning: To prevent airflow restriction, allow clearance around the ventilation openings to be at least:
1.75 in. (4.4 cm). Statement 1076
Warning: Avoid using or servicing any equipment that has outdoor connections during an electrical storm. There
may be a risk of electric shock from lightning. Statement 1088
Installation Guidelines
Before installing the switch, verify that these guidelines are met:

Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures. Make
sure that the cabling is away from other devices that might damage the cables.

Operating environment is within the ranges listed in

Relative humidity around the switch does not exceed 95 percent (noncondensing).

Altitude at the installation site is not higher than 10,000 feet.

For 10/100 and 10/100/1000 fixed ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected devices are not more than 328
feet (100 meters).

For cable lengths for small form-factor pluggable (SFP)-module connections, see the
and the module documentation.

Airflow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted. To prevent overheating, the switch must meet the
minimum clearance of 1.75 inches (4.4 cm) at the top and bottom.
Note: If the switch is installed in a closed or multirack assembly, the temperature around it might be greater than
normal room temperature.

Verifying Switch Operation

Before installing the switch in a rack or on a wall, you should power the switch and verify that the switch passes the
power-on self-test (POST).
To wire the switch to the power source, see
When the switch begins POST, the SYS LED blinks green, and the other LEDs stay green. When the switch passes POST,
the SYS LED turns green. The other LEDs turn off and return to their operating status. If the switch fails POST, the SYS
LED is amber.
Note: Contact Cisco Systems immediately if your switch fails POST.
After a successful POST, disconnect the power from the switch. For more information, see
