On the Catalyst 2955C-12 and 2955S-12 switches, during the initial appearance
of the boot loader prompt on the console after POST, uplink port 13 LED blinks
green, and uplink port 14 LED is off. On the Catalyst 2955T-12 switch, during the
initial appearance of the boot loader prompt on the console after POST, uplink
port 1 LED blinks green, and uplink port 2 LED is off.
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems immediately if your switch
does not pass POST. See the
page xxx.
See the switch software configuration guide for details on the Catalyst 2955
switch password recovery process.
After successfully running POST, follow these steps.
Turn off power to the switch.
Disconnect the cables.
Decide where you want to install the switch.
The Catalyst 2955 switch can be used with an optional AC/DC power converter
(PWR-2955-AC=) in a nonhazardous location installation.
To prevent the Catalyst 2955 switch from overheating, there must be a minimum
of 3 inches between any other device and the top, bottom, or sides of the switch.
The power converter requires 1 inch of thermal spacing to prevent overheating.
Therefore, there must be a minimum of 4 inches between the power converter and
the Catalyst 2955 switch to prevent each device from overheating.
