Switch Installation Grounding the Switch The ground lug is not supplied with the switch. You can use one of the these options: • Single ring terminal • Two single ring terminals To ground the switch to earth ground by using the ground screw, follow these steps: 1.
Switch Installation Connecting the Power Converter to an AC Power Source Figure 3: Ground-Lug Screw 7. Attach the other end of the ground wire to a grounded bare metal surface, such as a ground bus, a grounded DIN rail, or a grounded bare rack. Caution The expansion module must be grounded separately.
Switch Installation Connecting the AC Power Source to the Power Converter Note This section does not apply to PWR-IE50W-AC-IEC, which has pluggable IEC connector. Connecting the AC Power Source to the Power Converter Caution AC power sources must be dedicated AC branch circuits. Each branch circuit must be protected by a dedicated two-pole circuit breaker.

Switch Installation Wiring the DC Power Source Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DCcircuit. Statement 1003 Warning A readily accessible two-poled disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring. Statement 1022 Warning Warning: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service...

Switch Installation Wiring the DC Power Source Figure 4: Stripping the Power Connection Wire 0.25 in. (6.3 mm) ± 0.02 in. (0.5 mm) 5. Remove the two captive screws that attach the power connector to the switch, and remove the power connector.
Switch Installation Attaching the Power Connectors to the Switch Warning An exposed wire lead from a DC-input power source can conduct harmful levels of electricity. Be sure that no exposed portion of the DC-input power source wire extends from the connector(s) or terminal block(s). Statement 122 7.
Switch Installation Installing the Switch The LED on the power converter front panel is green when the unit is operating normally. The LED is off when the unit is not powered or is not operating normally. After the power is connected, the switch automatically begins the power-on self- test (POST), a series of tests that verifies that the switch functions properly.
Switch Installation Removing the Switch from a DIN Rail Figure 6: Position the Hooks Over the DIN Rail DIN Rail Switch 3. Push the switch toward the DIN rail to cause the spring-loaded latch at the bottom rear of the switch to move down, and snap into place.
Switch Installation Connecting Alarm Circuits 2. Insert a tool such as a flathead screwdriver in the slot at the bottom of the spring-loaded latch and use it to release the latch from the DIN rail. 3. Pull the bottom of the switch away from the DIN rail, and lift the hooks off the top of the DIN rail. Figure 7: Releasing the Spring-Loaded Latch from the DIN Rail 4.

Switch Installation Wiring the External Alarms Figure 8: Alarm Connector 2. Measure two strands of twisted-pair wire (16-to-18 AWG) long enough to connect to the external alarm device. Choose between setting up an external alarm input or output circuit. 3. Use a wire stripper to remove the casing from both ends of each wire to 0.25 inch (6.3 mm) ± 0.02 inch (0.5 mm).

Switch Installation Attaching the Alarm Connector to the Switch Figure 9: Securing the Alarm Connector Captive Screws Figure 10: Securing the Alarm Connector Captive Screws Caution Do not over-torque the power and alarm connectors’ captive screws. The torque should not exceed 2in-lb (0.23N-m).
When connecting to 1000BASE-T-compatible devices, use a twisted four-pair, Category 5 or higher cable. The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default. For configuration information for this feature, see the Cisco IE 3x00 Switch Software Configuration Guide for the appropreate software release.
(TX) and receive (RX). You can use any combination of rugged SFP modules. See the release notes on Cisco.com for the list of supported modules. Each SFP module must be of the same type as the SFP module on the other end of the cable, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.
Switch Installation Removing SFP Modules from SFP Module Slots 4. Insert the SFP module into the slot until you feel the connector on the module snap into place in the rear of the slot. 5. Remove the dust plugs from the SFP module optical ports and store them for later use. Caution Do not remove the dust plugs from the SFP module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable.
Switch Installation Verifying Switch Operation 3. Observe the port status LED: • The LED turns green when the switch and the target device have an established link. • The LED turns amber while the STP discovers the network topology and searches for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green.
