3 USB mini-Type B (console) port 6 Network module slots
10/100/1000 Ports
The 10/100/1000 ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328 feet
(100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires twisted pair (UTP) cable of Category 5
or higher. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 cable or higher.
PoE, PoE+, and Cisco UPoE Ports

The PoE+ and Cisco Universal Power Over Ethernet (Cisco UPoE) ports use the same connectors as described
in 10/100/1000 Port Connections, on page 37. They provide:
PoE+ ports: Support for IEEE 802.3af-compliant powered devices (up to 15.4 W PoE per port) and
support for IEEE 802.3at-compliant powered devices (up to 30 W PoE+ per port).
Support for pre-standard Cisco powered devices.
Support Cisco UPOE powered devices (up to 60W PoE per port). The maximum total PoE power in a
1RU switch is 1800W.
Configuration for StackPower. When the switch internal power supply module(s) cannot support the
total load, StackPower configurations allow the switch to leverage power available from other switches.

3
Product Overview
Multigigabit ports
Configurable support for Cisco intelligent power management, including enhanced power negotiation,
power reservation, and per-port power policing.
See the Power Supply Modules, on page 14 for the power supply matrix that defines the available PoE, PoE+,
and Cisco UPOE power per port. The output of the PoE+ or UPOE circuit has been evaluated as a Limited
Power Source (LPS) per IEC 60950-1.
Multigigabit ports
The Multigigabit ports can be configured to auto-negotiate multiple speeds on switch ports, and support 100
Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, and 5 Gbps speeds on Category5e cables, and up to 10 Gbps over Category6 and
Category 6A cables.
The Multigigabit ports support PoE and PoE+ for all the supported speeds and cable types. The following
table lists the cable types and speed.
Cable Type 100Mbps 1G 2.5G 5G 10G

Category5E Yes Yes Yes Yes N/A
Category6 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes (55meters)
Category6A Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
Management Ports
The management ports connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server.
Ethernet management port. See Ethernet Management Port, on page 17.
RJ-45 console port (EIA/TIA-232). See RJ-45 Console Port, on page 18.
USB mini-Type B console port (5-pin connector).
The 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port connection uses a standard RJ-45 crossover or straight-through
cable. The RJ-45 console port connection uses the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable. The USB console
port connection uses a USB Type A to 5-pin mini-Type B cable. The USB console interface speeds are the
same as the RJ-45 console interface speeds.
If you use the USB mini-Type B console port, the Cisco Windows USB device driver must be installed on
any PC connected to the console port (for operation with Microsoft Windows). Mac OS X or Linux do not
require special drivers.
The 4-pin mini-Type B connector resembles the 5-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are not compatible. Use
only the 5-pin mini-Type B.

4
Product Overview
USB Type A Port
This illustration shows a 5-pin mini-Type B USB port.

Figure 3: USB Mini-Type B Port
With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, you can connect and disconnect the USB cable from the console
port without affecting Windows HyperTerminal operations.
The console output always goes to both the RJ-45 and the USB console connectors, but the console input is
active on only one of the console connectors at any one time. The USB console takes precedence over the
RJ-45 console. When a cable is connected into the USB console port, the RJ-45 console port becomes inactive.
Conversely, when the USB cable is disconnected from the USB console port, the RJ-45 port becomes active.
You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to configure an inactivity timeout which reactivates the RJ-45
console if the USB console has been activated and no input activity has occurred on the USB console for a
specified time.
After the USB console deactivates due to inactivity, you cannot use the CLI to reactivate it. Disconnect and
reconnect the USB cable to reactivate the USB console. For information on using the CLI to configure the
USB console interface, see the Software Configuration Guide.
USB Type A Port

The USB Type A port provides access to external USB flash devices (also known as thumb drives or USB
keys).
The port supports Cisco USB flash drives with capacities from 128 MB to 8 GB (USB devices with port
densities of 128 MB, 256 MB, 1 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB are supported). When combined with stacking, you can
upgrade other switches in the stack from an USB key inserted in any switch within the stack. Cisco IOS
software provides standard file system access to the flash device: read, write, erase, and copy, as well as the
ability to format the flash device with a FAT file system.
It provides you with the ability to automatically upgrade the internal flash with the USB drive's configuration
and image for emergency switch recovery using USB auto-upgrade. This feature checks the internal flash for
a bootable image and configuration and if either image or the configuration is not available, then the USB
drive is checked for boot images and configuration. If the boot image and configuration are available, these
are copied to flash for the reboot.
Network Modules
The switch supports one hot-swappable network module that provides uplink ports to connect to other devices.
The switch should only be operated with either a network module or a blank module installed.
The switch generates logs when you insert or remove a network module with SFP ports.
The following table lists the optional Cisco Catalyst 9300 uplink network modules with 1-Gigabit and
10-Gigabit slots. In addition, Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches also support 3850 uplink network modules.
For the complete list of supported network modules, see Network Modules Overview, on page 39.

modules are supported. SFP+ modules are not supported.
If you insert an SFP+ module in the 1G network module, the SFP+ module does
not operate, and the switch logs an error message.
C9300-NM-8X This module has eight 10G slots with an SFP+ port in each slot. Each port
supports a 1G or 10G connection.
C9300-NM-2Q This module has two 40G slots with a QSFP+ connector in each slot.
C9300-NM-BLANK Insert this blank module when the switch has no uplink ports (this is required
for sufficient air flow).

Port LEDs and Modes

Each Ethernet port, 1-Gigabit Ethernet module slot, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet module slot has a port LED.
These port LEDs, as a group or individually, display information about the switch and about the individual
ports. The port mode determines the type of information shown by the port LEDs.
To select or change a mode, press the Mode button until the desired mode is highlighted. When you change
port modes, the meanings of the port LED colors also change.
When you press the Mode button on any switch in the switch stack, all the stack switches change to show the
same selected mode. For example, if you press the Mode button on the active switch to show the SPEED
LED, all the other switches in the stack also show the SPEED LED.

Power Supply Modules

The switches are powered through one or two internal power supply modules.
Following are the supported power supply modules:
PWR-C1-350WAC
PWR-C1-715WAC
PWR-C1-1100WAC
The switch has two internal power supply module slots. You can use two AC modules or one power supply
module and a blank module.
The switch can operate with either one or two active power supply modules or with power supplied by a stack.
A switch that is in a StackPower stack can operate with power supplied by other switches in the stack.
Switch Models, on page 1 shows the default power supply modules that ship with each switch model. All
power supply modules (except the blank modules) have internal fans. All switches ship with a blank power
supply module in the second power supply slot.

14
Product Overview
Power Supply Modules
Caution Do not operate the switch with one power supply module slot empty. For proper chassis cooling, both
power supply module slots must be populated with either a power supply or a blank module.
The 350-W and 715-W AC power supply modules are autoranging units that support input voltages between
100 and 240 VAC. The 1100-W power supply module is an autoranging unit that supports input voltages
between 115 and 240 VAC. The output voltage range is 51 to 57 V.
Each AC power supply module has a power cord for connection to an AC power outlet. The 1100-W and
715-W modules use a 16-AWG cord (only North America). All other modules use an 18-AWG cord.

Fan Module
The switch supports three internal hot-swappable 12-V fan modules (FAN-T2=) are available. The air circulation
system consists of the fan modules and the power supply modules. The airflow patterns vary depending on
the power supply configuration.
When the fan modules are operating properly, a green LED at the top left corner of the fan assembly (viewed
from the rear), is ON. If the fan fails, the LED turns to amber. The switch can operate with two operational
fans, but the failed fan should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid a service interruption due to a second
fan fault.

Verifying Switch Operation

Before you install the switch in a rack, on a wall, or on a table or shelf, power on the switch and verify that
it passes POST.
To power on the switch, plug one end of the AC power cord into the switch AC power connector, and plug
the other end into an AC power outlet.
As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the switch
functions properly. LEDs can blink during the test. POST lasts approximately 1 minute. The SYST LED
blinks green, and the other LEDs remain solid green.
When the switch completes POST successfully, the SYST LED remains green. The RPS LED remains green
for some time and then reflects the switch operating status. The other LEDs turn off and then reflect the switch
operating status. If a switch fails POST, the SYST LED turns amber.
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST.
After a successful POST, unplug the power cord from the switch and install the switch in a rack, on a wall,
on a table, or on a shelf.
If your configuration has an RPS, connect the switch and the RPS to different AC power sources. See the
Cisco RPS documentation for information.
Note When you connect the RPS to the switch, put the RPS in standby mode. Set the RPS to active mode during
normal operation.

Planning a Switch Data Stack

Cisco Catalyst 9300 switches can share bandwidth by using data stacking.
Switch Stacking and Power Stacking Guidelines

Before connecting the switches in a stack, keep in mind these stacking guidelines:
Size of the switch and any optional power-supply module. The 1100-W power-supply module is longer
than the other modules. Stacking switches with the same power-supply modules together makes it easier
to cable the switches.
Length of cable. Depending on the configurations that you have, you might need different-sized cables.
If you do not specify the length of the StackWise cable, the 0.5-meter cable is supplied. If you need the
1-meter cable or the 3-meter cable, you can order it from your Cisco supplier. For cable part numbers,
see StackWise Ports, on page 14. The Data Stack Cabling Configurations, on page 24 provides examples
of recommended configurations.
For rack-mounted switch stacks that are members of a StackPower stack as well as a data stack, see
Planning a StackPower Stack, on page 27.
You can create data stacks with up to eight switches in a stack.
Data Stack Cabling Configurations

This is an example of a recommended configuration that uses the supplied 0.5-meter StackWise cable. In this
example, the switches are stacked in a vertical rack or on a table. This configuration provides redundant
connections. The configuration example uses the supplied 0.5-meter StackWise cable. The example shows
the full-ring configuration that provides redundant connections.
Figure 9: Data Stacking the Switches in a Rack or on a Table Using the 0.5-meter StackWise Cables

24
Switch Installation
Data Stack Bandwidth and Partitioning Examples
This example shows a recommended configuration when the switches are mounted side-by-side. Use the
1-meter and the 3-meter StackWise cables to connect the switches. This configuration provides redundant
connections.
Figure 10: Data Stacking in a Side-by-Side Mounting
Data Stack Bandwidth and Partitioning Examples

This section provides examples of data stack bandwidth and possible data stack partitioning. The figure shows
a data stack of switches that provides full bandwidth and redundant StackWise cable connections.
Figure 11: Example of a Data Stack with Full Bandwidth Connections
This figure shows an example of a stack of switches with incomplete StackWise cabling connections. This
stack provides only half bandwidth and does not have redundant connections.
Figure 12: Example of a Data Stack with Half Bandwidth Connections
The figures below show data stacks of switches with failover conditions. In this figure, the StackWise cable
is bad in link 2. Therefore, this stack provides only half bandwidth and does not have redundant connections.
Figure 13: Example of a Data Stack with a Failover Condition

25
Switch Installation
Power-On Sequence for Switch Stacks
In this figure, link 2 is bad. Therefore, this stack partitions into two stacks, and the top and bottom switches
become the active switch in the stack. If the bottom switch is a member (not active or standby switch), it
reloads.
Figure 14: Example of a Partitioned Data Stack with a Failover Condition
Power-On Sequence for Switch Stacks

Consider these guidelines before you power on the switches in a stack:
The sequence in which the switches are first powered on might affect the switch that becomes the stack
master.
There are two ways to elect an active switch:
If you want a particular switch to become the active switch, configure it with the highest priority.
Among switches with same priority, the switch with the lowest MAC address becomes the active
switch.
If you want a particular switch to become the active switch, power on that switch first. This switch
remains the active switch until a reelection is required. After 2 minutes, power on the other switches
in the stack. If you have no preference as to which switch becomes the active switch, power on all
the switches in the stack within 1 minute. These switches participate in the active switch election.
Switches powered on after 2 minutes do not participate in the election.
If changes are made to the stack without powering down the switches, the following results can occur:
If two operating partial ring stacks are connected together using a stack cable, a stack merge can take
place. This situation reloads the whole stack (all switches in the stack).
If some switches in the stack are completely separated from the stack, a stack split can occur.
A stack split can occur on a full ring stack if:
More than one running switch is removed without powering down.
More than one stack cable is removed without powering down.
A stack split can occur in a partial ring stack if:

A switch is removed without powering down.
A stack cable is removed without powering down.

26
Switch Installation
Planning a StackPower Stack
In a split stack, depending on where the active and standby switches are located, either two stacks might
be formed (with the standby taking over as the new active switch in the newly formed stack) or all the
members in the newly formed stack might reload.
Note These results depend on how the switches are connected. You can remove two or more switches from the
stack without splitting the stack.
For conditions that can cause a stack reelection or to manually elect the active switch, see the stacking software
configuration guide on Cisco.com at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/go/c9300.
Planning a StackPower Stack
StackPower Stacking Guidelines

You can configure a StackPower stack for either power sharing or redundancy. In power-sharing mode, the
power of all the power supplies in the stack is aggregated and distributed among the stack members.
In redundant mode, when the total power budget of the stack is calculated, the wattage of the largest power
supply is not included. That power is held in reserve and used to maintain power to switches and attached
devices when one power supply fails. Following the failure of a power supply, the StackPower mode becomes
power sharing.
Note Power-sharing mode is the recommended configuration for Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches.
For general concepts and management procedures for switch power stacks, see the Software Configuration
Guide on Cisco.com.
Before connecting the switches in a power stack, keep in mind these guidelines:
A switch power stack can include a maximum of four switches in a ring topology and eight switches in
a star topology.
Size of the switch and any optional power supply module. The 1100-W power-supply module is 1.5
inches (3.81 cm) longer than the other modules, and with the attached cable retention clip, it extends 3
inches (7.62 cm) from the switch chassis. Stacking switches with the same power-supply modules
together makes it easier to cable the switches. For switch dimensions, see Appendix A, Technical
Specifications.
Length of cable. Depending on the configurations that you have, you might need different-sized cables.
If you do not specify the length of the StackPower cable, the 0.3 meter cable is supplied. If you need
the 1.5 meter cable, you can order it from your Cisco supplier. For cable part numbers, see StackPower
Connector, on page 17. The StackPower Cabling Configurations, on page 28 provides examples of
recommended configurations.
For rack-mounted switch stacks that are members of a data stack and a StackPower stack, see Switch
Stacking and Power Stacking Guidelines, on page 24

StackPower Cabling Configurations

This section describes the recommended cabling configurations for a StackPower stack. There are two types
of StackPower cables.
The cable in the figure connects a switch to another switch in a power stack or with an XPS. StackPower
cables have color bands on the cable ends:
The cable end with the green band can connect only to a switch.
The cable end with the yellow band can connect to a switch or an XPS.
The cable is available in two lengths.

10/100/1000 Port Connections

The switch 10/100/1000 port configuration changes to operate at the speed of the attached device. If the
attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can manually set the speed and duplex parameters.
Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have the speed and duplex parameters manually set can
reduce performance or result in no linkage.
To maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the Ethernet ports:
Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.
Set the interface speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.
Auto-MDIX Connections
The autonegotiation and the auto-MDIX features are enabled by default on the switch.
With autonegotiation, the switch port configurations change to operate at the speed of the attached device. If
the attached device does not support autonegotiation, you can manually set the switch interface speed and
duplex parameters.
With auto-MDIX, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures
the interface accordingly.
If auto-MDIX is disabled, use the guidelines in this table to select the correct cable.

PoE+ and Cisco UPOE Port Connections
PoE+ and Cisco UPOE Port Connections

The 10/100/1000 PoE+ and Cisco UPOE ports have the same autonegotiation settings and cabling requirements
that are described in the 10/100/1000 Port Connections, on page 37. These ports can provide PoE, PoE+, or
Cisco UPOE inline power.
PoE inline power supports devices compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard, as well as prestandard Cisco
IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points. Each port can deliver up to 15.4 W of PoE. PoE+ inline power
supports devices compliant with the IEEE 802.3at standard, by delivering up to 30 W of PoE+ power per port
to all switch ports.
See Power Supply Modules for the power supply modules required to support PoE, PoE+, and Cisco UPOE
on 24- and 48-port switches.
Warning Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if interconnections
are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals. Avoid using such
interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a restricted access location
and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted access location are made aware of
the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key
or other means of security. Statement 1072
Warning Voice over IP (VoIP) service and the emergency calling service do not function if power fails or is disrupted.
After power is restored, you might have to reset or reconfigure equipment to regain access to VoIP and
the emergency calling service. In the USA, this emergency number is 911. You need to be aware of the
emergency number in your country. Statement 371
Caution Category 5e and Category 6 cables can store high levels of static electricity. Always ground the cables to
a suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the switch or other devices.
Caution Noncompliant cabling or powered devices can cause a PoE port fault. Use only standard-compliant cabling
to connect Cisco prestandard IP Phones and wireless access points, IEEE 802.3af, or 802.3at
(PoE+)-compliant devices. You must remove any cable or device that causes a PoE fault.

Installing Network Modules
12-gauge copper ground wire (insulated or not) for the single-hole ground connection.
Single-hole ground lug and screw (included in the switch accessory kit).
Four leads of 14-gauge copper wire.
Note The switch can operate without a network module, but a blank module (with no ports or SFP slots) is
available and should be installed when uplink ports are not required.
Note The switch generates logs when you insert or remove a network module with SFP slots.
Use only supported network modules and SFP or QSFP modules. Each module has an internal serial EEPROM
that is encoded with security information.
The network module is hot-swappable. If you remove a module, replace it with another network module or
a blank module.
Note The switch complies with EMC, safety, and thermal specifications when a network module is present. If
no uplink ports are required, install a blank network module.
Before You Begin

When installing network modules, observe these precautions:
Do not remove the blank module from the slot unless you are installing an SFP or QSFP module. Either
a module or a dust plug must be in the slot at all times.
Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP and QSFP modules or the rubber caps from the
fiber-optic cable until you connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the module ports and cables
from contamination and ambient light.
Removing and installing a network module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert a network
module more often than is necessary.
To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when connecting
cables to the switch and other devices.
Procedure
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to an earth ground surface.
Step 2 Remove the module from the protective packaging.
Step 3 Remove the blank module from the switch and save it.
Caution Verify the correct orientation of your module before installing it. Incorrect installation can damage
the module.
Caution Do not install the network module with connected cables or installed SFP modules. Always remove
any cables and modules before you install the network module.

41
Caution A module interface might become error-disabled when a network module with connected fiber-optic
cables is installed or removed. If an interface is error-disabled, you can reenable the interface by
using the shutdown and no shutdown interface configuration commands.
Step 4 Position the module face up to install it in the module slot. Slide the module into the slot until the back of the
module faceplate is flush with the switch faceplate. Fasten the captive screws to secure the network module
in place.
Figure 24: Installing the Network Module in the Switch
Note Unlike other network modules, the C3850-NM-8-10G cannot be fully inserted and secured until the
jackscrew is properly tightened.
1 Push the module into the uplink slot until the jackscrew connects with the rightmost tab.
2 You will feel some light resistance, because a spring-loaded tab inside the slot will push back
against the C3850-NM-8-10G module
3 Continue to tighten the jackscrew while gently pushing the front panel of the network module
into the slot.

Installing SFP and SFP+ Modules

Before You Begin
You must have an installed network module to use SFP and SFP+ modules. See the switch release notes on
Cisco.com for the list of supported SFP and SFP+ modules. Use only supported SFP modules on the switch.
For the latest information about supported SFP and SFP+ modules, refer to the Cisco Transceiver Modules
Compatibility Information.
For information about installing, removing, cabling, and troubleshooting SFP modules, see the module
documentation that shipped with your device.
Observe these precautions:
Warning Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008
Do not remove the dust plugs from the SFP modules or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until
you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the module ports and cables from
contamination and ambient light.
Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert any SFP
module more often than is necessary.
To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when connecting
cables to the switch and other devices.
When you insert several SFPs in multiple switch ports, wait for 5 seconds between inserting each SFP.
This will prevent the ports from going into error disabled mode. Similarly, when you remove an SFP
from a port, wait for 5 seconds before reinserting it.
Procedure
Step 2 Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings that identify the top of the SFP module.

49
Installing SFP and SFP+ Modules
On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be shown by arrows that show the
direction of the connection.
Step 3 If the SFP module has a bale-clasp latch, move it to the open, unlocked position.
Step 4 Align the module in front of the slot opening, and push until you feel the connector snap into place.
Figure 25: Installing an SFP Module in the Network Module

Finding the Power Supply Module Serial Number, page 59
Power Supply Modules Overview

The switch operates with either one or two active power supply modules. A switch that is part of a StackPower
stack operates with power supplied by other stack switches.
You can use two AC modules or one module and a blank cover. All power supply modules have internal fans.
All switches ship with a blank cover in the second power supply slot.
The following table describes the supported internal power supply modules.
Table 27: Power Supply Module Part Numbers and Descriptions
Part Number Description

PWR-C1-1100WAC= 1100-W AC power supply module
PWR-C1-BLANK Blank cover
For information on available PoE, PoE+, and UPOE and PoE requirements, see these sections the Power
Supply Modules, on page 14.
The 350-W and 715-W AC power supply modules are autoranging units that support input voltages between
100 and 240 VAC. The 1100-W power supply module is an autoranging unit that supports input voltages
between 115 and 240 VAC.

53
Each AC power supply module has a power cord for connection to an AC power outlet. The 1100-W and
715-W modules use a 16-AWG cord (only North America). All other modules use an 18-AWG cord.
The following illustrations show the power supply modules.

Table 28: Switch Power Supply Module LEDs
AC OK Description PS OK Description
Off No AC input power. Off Output is disabled, or input is outside
operating range (AC LED is off).
Green AC input power present. Green Power output to switch active.
Red Output has failed.
Observe these guidelines when removing or installing a power supply or fan module:
Do not force the power supply or fan module into the slot. This can damage the pins on the switch if
they are not aligned with the module.
A power supply that is only partially connected to the switch can disrupt the system operation.
Remove power from the power-supply module before removing or installing the module.
The power supply is hot-swappable. In some configurations, such as full PoE+ or power sharing mode,
removing a power supply causes powered devices to shut down until the power budget matches the input
power of a single power supply. To minimize network interruption, hot swap the power supply under
these circumstances:
The switch is in StackPower mode and sufficient power is available.
The switch is powered by other switches in a power stack, and no active backup is in progress.
For the switch commands that display available power budget, see the software configuration guide.
Caution Do not operate the switch with one power-supply module slot empty. For proper chassis cooling, both
module slots must be populated, with either a power supply or a blank module.
Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority
or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
Statement 1024

56
Installing or Replacing an AC Power Supply
Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous
voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt
other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system
unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
Statement 1029
Warning Do not reach into a vacant slot or chassis while you install or remove a module. Exposed circuitry could
constitute an energy hazard.
Statement 206
Statement 1030
Warning If a Cisco external power system is not connected to the switch, install the provided connector cover on

Step 3 Remove the power cord from the power connector.
Step 4 Press the release latch at the right side of the power supply module inward and slide the power supply out.
Caution Do not leave the power-supply slot open for more than 90 seconds while the switch is operating.
Warning This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed
to de-energize the unit. Statement 1028

57
Step 5 Insert the new power supply into the power-supply slot, and gently push it into the slot. When correctly
inserted, the 350-W and 715-W power supplies (excluding the power cord retainer) are flush with the switch
rear panel. The 1100-W power-supply module extends 1.5 inches from the switch rear panel.
Figure 32: Inserting the AC-Power Supply in the Switch
Step 6 (Optional) Make a loop in the power cord and thread it through the power cord retainer.

Configuring the Switch Using the Web User Interface

Setting up the Switch
After you complete the hardware installation, you need to setup the switch with configuration required to
enable traffic to pass through the network. On your first day with your new device, you can perform a number
of tasks to ensure that your device is online, reachable and easily configured.
Creating User Accounts

Setting a username and password is the first task you will perform on your device. Typically, as a network
administrator, you will want to control access to your device and prevent unauthorized users from seeing your
network configuration or manipulating your settings.
Procedure
Step 1 Log on using the default username and password provided with the device.
Step 2 Set a password of up to 25 alphanumeric characters. The username password combination you set gives you
privilege 15 access. The string cannot start with a number, is case sensitive, and allows spaces but ignores
leading spaces.

65
Choosing Setup Options
Choosing Setup Options

Select Wired Network to configure your device based on a site profile, and continue to configure switch
wide settings. Otherwise, continue to the next step and configure only basic settings for your device.
Configuring Basic Device Settings

On the Basic Device Settings page configure the following information:
Procedure
Step 1 In the Device ID and Location Settings section, type a unique name to identify your device in the network.
Step 2 Choose the date and time settings for your device. To synchronize your device with a valid outside timing
mechanism, such as an NTP clock source, choose Automatic, or choose Manual to set it yourself.
Step 3 In the Device Management Settings section, assign an IP address to the management interface. Ensure that
the IP address you assign is part of the subnet mask you enter.
Step 4 Enter an IP address to specify the default gateway.
If you did not select Wired Network, in the previous step, continue to the next screen to verify your
configuration on the Day 0 Config Summary screen, and click Finish. To automatically configure your
device based on a site profile, click Setup Options, and select Wired Network.
Configuring Your Device Based on a Site Profile

To ease your configuration tasks and save time, choose a site profile based on where your device may be
installed and managed in your network. Based on the site profile you choose, your device is automatically
configured according to Cisco best practices. You can easily modify this default configuration, from the
corresponding detailed configuration screens.
Choosing a site profile as part of Quick Setup allows you to configure your device based on the business needs
of your enterprise. For example, you could use your device as an access switch, to connect client nodes and
endpoints on your network, or as a distribution switch, to route packets between subnets and VLANs.

Identifying a Crossover Cable

To identify a crossover cable, compare the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends side-by-side,
with the tab at the back. The wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left plug should be a different
color from the wire connected to the pin on the inside of the right plug.
Figure 49: Identifying a Crossover Cable

The RS-232 console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. Use an RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable to connect the
switch console port to a console PC. You need to provide a RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter to connect
the switch console port to a terminal.
