When you decide where to place the switch, be sure to observe these requirements:
•For copper Ethernet ports, including 10/100 ports, 10/100/1000 ports, and 1000BASE-T SFP module ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected devices can be up to 328 feet (100 meters).
•See Table B-3 for a list of cable specifications for 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-ZX, and CWDM fiber-optic SFP module connections. Each port must match the wave-length specifications on the other end of the cable, and for reliable communications, the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length.
•See the Catalyst 3750 release notes for cable requirements for XENPAK module connections. Each port must match the wave-length specifications on the other end of the cable, and for reliable communications, the cable must not exceed the required cable length.
Note When you use shorter distances of single-mode fiber cable, you might need to insert an inline optical attenuator in the link to avoid overloading the receiver.
When the fiber-optic cable span is less than 25 km, you should insert a 5-decibel (dB) or 10-dB inline optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX SFP module at each end of the link.
•The operating environment must be within the ranges listed in "Technical Specifications."
•Clearance to front and rear panels must be such that
–You can easily read the front-panel indicators.
–Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.
Make sure that there is access to the rear of the rack if you are planning to stack the switches. If you do not have access to the rear panel, make sure that you cable the switches before you rack-mount them.
–The AC power cord can reach from the AC power outlet to the connector on the switch rear panel.
•Cabling must be away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures. Make sure the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables.
•Airflow around the switch and through the vents must be unrestricted.
•Temperature around the unit should not exceed 113°F (45°C).
Note If you install the switch 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 buildup inside the chassis, which can result in a system malfunction.
You must install this equipment in an environment as free as possible from dust and foreign conductive material (such as metal flakes from construction activities).
These standards provide guidelines for acceptable working environments and acceptable levels of suspended particulate matter:
–Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) GR-63-CORE
–National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Type 1
–International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) IP-20
The switch getting started guide on Cisco.com describes the box contents. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your Cisco representative or reseller for support.
You need to supply a number-2 Phillips screwdriver to rack-mount the switch.
Before you install the switch in a rack, on a wall, or on a table or shelf, you should power on the switch and verify that the switch passes POST. See the "Running Express Setup" section in the getting started guide for the steps required to connect a PC to the switch and to run Express Setup.
If your configuration has an RPS, connect the switch and the RPS to the same AC power source. See the "Power Connectors" section, and see the Cisco RPS documentation for more information.
Note Always set the RPS in standby mode when you are connecting devices to it and in active mode during normal operation.
To power on the switch, connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC power connector on the switch, and connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power outlet.
To power on a DC switch, see "Connecting to DC Power," for complete instructions.
Warning Attach only the Cisco RPS model to the RPS receptacle: PWR-RPS2300, PWR675-AC-RPS-N1=. Statement 370 |
As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the switch functions properly. POST lasts approximately 1 minute.
When the switch begins POST, the System, the RPS, the Master, the Status, the Duplex, the Speed, and the Stack LEDs turn green. (On the PoE switches, the PoE LED also turns green as POST begins.) The System LED flashes green, and the other LEDs remain continuous green.
When POST completes successfully, the System LED remains green. The RPS LED remains green for some time and then returns to its operating status. The other LEDs turn off and return to their operating status. When POST fails, the System LED turns amber.
Note POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems if your switch does not pass POST.
After a successful POST, disconnect the power cord from the switch. Install the switch in a rack, on a wall, on a table, or on a shelf as described in the "Installing the Switch" section.
If you plan to stack your switches, read these sections:
•Recommended Cabling Configurations
Before connecting the Catalyst 3750 switches in a stack, observe these planning considerations:
•Size of the switch. For switch dimensions, see "Technical Specifications." Some switches are deeper than the other switches. Stacking switches of the same size together makes it easier to cable the switches.
•Length of cable. Depending on the configurations that you have, you might need cables of different sizes. If you do not specify the length of the StackWise cable, the 0.5-meter cable is supplied. If you require the 1-meter cable or the 3-meter cable, you can order it from your Cisco supplier. For cable numbers, see the "StackWise Ports" section. The "Recommended Cabling Configurations" section provides examples of recommended configurations.
•Access to the rear ports for unrestricted cabling.
Make sure that you have access to the rear of the rack if you plan to stack the switches. If you do not have access to the rear panel, make sure that you cable the switches before you rack-mount them.
•For concepts and procedures to manage switch stacks, see the switch software configuration guide.
Consider the following guidelines before you power on the switches in a stack:
•The sequence in which you initially power on the switches might affect the switch that becomes the stack master.
•If you want a particular switch to become the stack master, power on that switch first. This switch becomes the stack master and remains the stack master until a master re-election is required. After approximately 10 seconds, power on the remaining switches in the stack.
•If you have no preference as to which switch becomes the stack master, power on all the switches in the stack within a 10-second timeframe. These switches participate in the stack master election. Switches powered up after the 10-second timeframe do not participate in the election.
•Power off a switch before you add it to or remove it from an existing switch stack.
Note For conditions that can cause a stack master re-election or to manually elect the stack master, see the "Managing Switch Stacks" chapter in the switch software configuration guide.
The illustrations in this section display cabling configuration examples that show the stack bandwidth and possible stack partitioning.
Figure 2-1 shows an example of a stack of Catalyst 3750 switches that provides full bandwidth and redundant StackWise cable connections.
Figure 2-1 Example of a Stack with Full Bandwidth Connections
Figure 2-2 shows an example of a stack of Catalyst 3750 switches with incomplete StackWise cabling connections. This stack provides only half bandwidth and does not have redundant connections.
Figure 2-2 Example of a Stack with Half Bandwidth Connections
Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4 show examples of stacks of Catalyst 3750 switches with failover conditions. In Figure 2-3, the StackWise cable is bad in link B; therefore, this stack provides only half bandwidth and does not have redundant connections. In Figure 2-4, link B is bad; therefore, this stack partitions into two stacks, and switch 1 and switch 3 are stack masters.
Figure 2-3 Example of a Stack with a Failover Condition
Figure 2-4 Example of a Partitioned Stack with a Failover Condition
This section describes the recommended cabling configurations for stacking the switches.
Figure 2-5 is an example of a recommended configuration using 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.
Figure 2-5 Stacking the Switches in a Vertical Rack or on a Table Using the 0.5-meter StackWise Cable
The configuration examples in Figure 2-6 use the 3-meter StackWise cable in addition to the supplied 0.5-meter StackWise cable. This configuration also provides redundant connections.
Figure 2-6 Stacking the Catalyst 3750 Switches in a Vertical Rack or on a Table Using 0.5-meter and 3-meter StackWise Cables
Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8 are examples of recommended configurations where the switches are rack- or wall-mounted side-by-side. Use the 1-meter and 3-meter StackWise cables to connect the switches. These configuration provide redundant connections.

These sections describe how to install and remove SFP modules. SFP modules are inserted into SFP module slots on the front of the Catalyst 3750 switches. These field-replaceable modules provide uplink interfaces.
You can use any combination of SFP modules. See the Catalyst 3750 release notes for the list of SFP modules that the Catalyst 3750 switch supports. Each port must match the wave-length specifications on the other end of the cable, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications. See the "Installation Guidelines" section for cable stipulations for SFP connections.
Use only Cisco SFP modules on the Catalyst 3750 switch. Each SFP module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information. This encoding provides a way for Cisco to identify and validate that the SFP module meets the requirements for the switch.
For detailed instructions on installing, removing, and cabling the SFP module, see your SFP module documentation.
Figure 2-47 shows an SFP module that has a bale-clasp latch.
Figure 2-47 SFP Module with a Bale-Clasp Latch
To insert an SFP module into the SFP module slot, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2 Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings that identify the top side of the SFP module.
Note On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be replaced by arrows that show the direction of the connection, either send or receive (TX or RX).
Step 3 Align the SFP module in front of the slot opening.
Step 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.
Figure 2-48 Installing an SFP Module into an SFP Module Slot
Step 5 For fiber-optic SFP modules, remove the dust plugs from the optical ports, and store them for later use.
Step 6 Insert the cable connector into the SFP module:
•For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert the LC or MT-RJ cable connector into the SFP module.
•For copper SFP modules, insert the RJ-45 cable connector into the SFP module.
Note When you connect to 1000BASE-T SFP modules, be sure to use a twisted four-pair, Category 5 or later cable.
To remove an SFP module from a module slot, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2 Disconnect the cable from the SFP module.
Tip For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is send (TX) and which is receive (RX).
Step 3 Unlock and remove the SFP module, as shown in Figure 2-49.
If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If the bale-clasp latch is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open the bale-clasp latch.

Warning When the Catalyst 3750-12S switch and 100BASE-FX MMF small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module (model number GLC-GE-100FX) are running, the surface temperature of the removed SFP module might be hot. Statement 377 |
Step 4 Grasp the SFP module between your thumb and index finger, and carefully remove it from the module slot.
Step 5 For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert a dust plug into the optical ports of the SFP module to keep the optical interfaces clean.
Step 6 Place the removed SFP module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.
These sections describe how to install and remove XENPAK modules:
•Removing SFP Modules from SFP Module Slots
XENPAK modules are inserted into the XENPAK module slot on the front panel of the Catalyst 3750G-16TD switch. These field-replaceable transceiver modules provide 10-Gigabit interfaces.
Note The 10-Gigabit Ethernet XENPAK modules are referred to as 10-Gigabit Ethernet module ports in the switch software documentation.
See the Catalyst 3750 release notes for the list of XENPAK modules that the Catalyst 3750G-16TD switch supports. Use only Cisco XENPAK modules on the Catalyst 3750G-16TD switch. Each XENPAK module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information. This encoding provides a way for Cisco to identify and validate that the XENPAK module meets the requirements for the switch.
See Table B-2 for cable requirements for XENPAK module connections. For detailed instructions on installing, removing, cabling, and troubleshooting the XENPAK module, see your XENPAK module documentation.

Step 6 Use two Phillips-head screws to attach the XENPAK module slot cover to the switch front panel, as shown in Figure 2-54.
Warning Blank faceplates (filler 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 and faceplates are in place. Statement 156 |

The switch 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of attached devices. If the attached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can explicitly set the speed and duplex parameters. Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have their 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 port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.
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 |
You can configure the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 PoE ports on the switch to either automatically provide PoE when a Cisco IP Phone, Cisco Aironet Access Point, or end device compliant with IEEE 802.3af is connected. Alternatively, you can configure them to never provide PoE, even if an IP phone or an access point is connected. The default setting is Auto. To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures.
Use the guidelines in Table 2-1 to select the correct cable for connecting the switch 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports to other devices. See the "Cable and Adapter Specifications" section for cable-pinout descriptions.

1 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires twisted four-pair, Category 5 or higher cable. 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 cable. |
You can use the mdix auto interface configuration command in the CLI to enable the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly. Therefore, you can use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connections to a copper 10/100, 10/100/1000, or 1000BASE-T SFP module port on the switch, regardless of the type of device on the other end of the connection.
The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default on switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SE or later. For releases between Cisco IOS Release 12.1(14)EA1 and 12.2(18)SE, the auto-MDIX feature is disabled by default. For configuration information for this feature, see the switch software configuration guide or the switch command reference.
Follow these steps to connect to 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T devices:
Step 1 When you connect the switch to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, connect a straight-through cable to an RJ-45 connector on the front panel. (See Figure 2-55.) When you connect the switch to other switches or to repeaters, use a crossover cable. (See the "Cable and Adapter Specifications" section for cable-pinout descriptions.)
When you connect a switch to 1000BASE-T-compatible devices, be sure to use a twisted four-pair, Category 5 or later cable.
You can connect the Catalyst 3750 switch to a Cisco IP Phone through a straight-through, twisted four-pair Category 5 or later cable. The rear panel of the Cisco IP Phone might have more than one RJ-45 connector. Use the LAN-to-phone connector to connect the Cisco IP phone to the switch. See the Cisco IP Phone documentation for more information about connecting devices to it.
Note Many legacy powered devices, including older Cisco IP phones and access points that do not fully support IEEE 802.3af, might not support PoE when connected to the switches by a crossover cable.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector on the other device. The port LED turns on when both the switch and the connected device have established link.
The port LED is amber while Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) discovers the topology and searches for loops. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the port LED turns green. If the port LED does not turn on, the device at the other end might not be turned on, or there might be a cable problem or a problem with the adapter installed in the attached device. See Chapter 3 "Troubleshooting," for solutions to cabling problems.
Step 3 Reconfigure and reboot the connected device if necessary.
Step 4 Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each device.

Follow these steps to connect a fiber-optic cable to a XENPAK module:
Warning Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008 |
Step 1 Remove the rubber plugs from the XENPAK module ports and the fiber-optic cable, and store them for future use.
Step 2 Align the fiber-optic cable SC connector with the XENPAK module connector, so that transmit (TX) on the cable meets receive (RX) on the XENPAK module connector, and RX on the cable meets TX on the XENPAK module.
Step 3 Insert the fiber-optic cable connector into the XENPAK module ports (see Figure 2-58).
Step 4 Insert the other cable end into a fiber-optic receptacle on a target device.
Step 5 Observe the XENPAK module 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.

Step 6 If necessary, reconfigure and restart the switch or target device.
If the default configuration is satisfactory, the switch needs no further configuration. You can use any of these management options to change the default configuration:
•Start the device manager, which is in the switch memory, to manage individual and standalone switches. This is an easy-to-use web interface that offers quick configuration and monitoring. You can access the device manager from anywhere in your network through a web browser. For more information, see the device manager online help.
•Start the Network Assistant application, which is described in the Getting Started with Cisco Network Assistant guide. Through this GUI, you can configure and monitor a switch cluster or an individual switch.
•Use the CLI to configure the switch as a member of a cluster or as an individual switch from the console. See the Catalyst 3750 Switch Command Reference on Cisco.com for information on using the CLI with a Catalyst 3750 switch.
•Start an SNMP application such as the CiscoView application.
