Verifying Switch Operation
Before you install the switch in a rack, or on a table or shelf, you should power on the switch and verify
that the switch passes POST. For the steps that should be performed to connect a PC to the switch and
to run the Express Setup, see the "Running Express Setup" section in the Catalyst 3650 Switch Getting
Started Guide at

ml.
Note
When you connect the RPS to the switch, put the RPS in standby mode. Set the RPS to active mode
during normal operation.
Catalyst 3650 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
2-4
When connecting or disconnecting the power cord on a switch that is installed above or below a 1025
W or 1100 W power supply-equipped switch, you might have to remove the module from the switch
to access the power cord.
Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent
lighting fixtures. Make sure that cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the
cables.
For copper connections on Ethernet ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected devices can
be up to 328 feet (100 meters).
Each port must match the wave-length specifications on the other end of the cable, and the cable
must not exceed the maximum cable length.
Operating environment is within the correct ranges.
Airflow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted.
Temperature around the unit does not exceed 113°F (45°C). If the switch is installed in a closed or
multirack assembly, the temperature around it might be greater than normal room temperature.
Cisco Ethernet switches are equipped with cooling mechanisms, such as fans and blowers. However,
these fans and blowers can draw dust and other particles, causing contaminant build-up inside the
chassis, which can result in system malfunction. You must install this equipment in an environment
that is as free from dust and foreign conductive material (such as metal flakes from construction
activities), as is possible.
The following standards provide guidelines for acceptable working environments and acceptable
levels of suspended particulate matter:
Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) GR-63-CORE (only with the DC power supply)
–
National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Type 1
–
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) IP-20
–
A number-2 Phillips screwdriver to rack-mount the switch.
A Torx T15 screwdriver, or the Torx T15 key that ships with StackWise upgrade kits, to install the
StackWise adapter.
