For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The operating environment is within the ranges listed in Technical Specifications .
Clearance to the switch front and rear panel meets these conditions:
Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures. Make sure that the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables.
Airflow around the switch is unrestricted.
For 10/100 and 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports, the cable length from a switch to a connected device cannot exceed 328 feet (100 meters).
5RU 19" rack mount chassis (CDB-MNT-RACK5-C14) can only be installed in standard 19-inch racks.
19" rack mount chassis can be installed with wiring box up or down for cable routing.
A gap of 2 RU must be provided between each rack unit for ventilation unless forced air is provided top to bottom in the rack.
The rack mount chassis can have a mix of CDB-8P and CDB-8U units, as long as power cords are plugged into a power source with sufficient ampacity.
Switches will power up on insertion. Remove and re-insert to power cycle when direct wired, or cycle at breaker.
Switches can be hot-swapped.
Flexible mounting requires a strut channel for mounting the assembly. Strut channel is a structural system used by electricians, HVAC professionals, plumbers, etc. to mount mechanical and electrical components in buildings.
Bolts and screws to attach the mount to the strut channel are not supplied in the accessory kit. You need to obtain these from the manufacturer of the strut channel. The bolt used to attach the mount to the strut channel must match the strut nut.
One flexible mount is required per switch.
Wall Mounting - The complete assembly of the flexible mount, mounting brackets and the switch weighs 15 lbs for the wall mount case. When mounted directly on a surface, care must be taken to choose fasteners that can safely hold the switch and mounting hardware, which weighs 15 lbs (6.8 kg), under all use conditions.
Maintain 3-inch of space to any surface above the flexible mount to allow proper cooling.
Only a trained and qualified electrician should be allowed to complete the wiring of the direct-wired junction box (CDB-MNT-FLEX-DIR).
All power connection wiring should conform to the rules and regulations in the National Electrical Code (NEC), as well as local codes.
Switches will power up on insertion. Remove and re-insert to power cycle when direct wired, or cycle at breaker.

To connect to a power source, follow these steps:
Warning |
Note | Unit in the above warning statement refers to the rack mount chassis (CDB-MNT-RACK5-C14). |
Use the following procedure to install a Catalyst Digital Building Series Switch in a rack.
Step 1 | Position the
19-inch 5RU rack mount chassis in the rack and align the mounting holes in the
chassis with the mounting holes in the rack. Secure the chassis using eight
10-32 or 12-24 screws to the rack post.
You can also install the rack mount chassis upside down if required for cable routing. | ||
Step 2 | Plug
country-specific power cords to power connectors on the rack mount chassis.
Plug the other ends of the power cords to a power source.
| ||
Step 3 | Slide the
switches into each of the rack unit slots in a front-mounting position and
secure them to the rack using the supplied screws as shown in the figure.
|
After installing the switch in the chassis, complete the installation process by grounding the chassis. See Establishing the System Ground .
This section describes how to connect a system ground to the switch.
The system ground provides additional grounding for EMI shielding requirements and grounding for the low voltage supplies.
Note | In all situations, grounding practices must comply with Section 250 of the National Electric Code (NEC) requirements or local laws and regulations. |
To connect the system ground, you need the following tools and materials:
Grounding lug—A two-hole standard barrel lug. Supports 6 AWG wire. Supplied as part of accessory kit.
Grounding screws—Two 8 mm pan-head screws. Supplied as part of the accessory kit.
Grounding wire—Not supplied as part of accessory kit. The grounding wire should be sized according to local and national installation requirements. The length of the grounding wire depends on the proximity of the chassis to proper grounding facilities.
No. 1 Phillips screwdriver.
Crimping tool to crimp the grounding wire to the grounding lug.
Wire-stripping tool to remove the insulation from the grounding wire.
1 |
Location of system ground lug |
Step 1 | Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) ± 0.02 inch (0.5 mm) of the covering from the end of the grounding wire. |
Step 2 | Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug. |
Step 3 | Crimp the grounding wire in the barrel of the grounding lug. Verify that the ground wire is securely attached to the ground lug. |
Step 4 | Place the grounding wire lug against the grounding pad, making sure that there is solid metal-to-metal contact. |
Step 5 | Secure the grounding lug to the chassis with two grounding screws. Ensure that the grounding lug and the grounding wire will not interfere with other switch hardware or rack equipment. |
Step 6 | Connect the other end of the grounding wire to an appropriate grounding point at your site or to the rack. |
The power cord retainer (PWR-CLP=) is optionally supplied as part of accessory kit with the 5RU 19" rack mount chassis (CDB-MNT-RACK5-C14) and flexible mount with IEC C14 power junction box (CDB-MNT-FLEX-C14).
Step 1 | Choose the sleeve size of the power cord retainer based on the thickness of the cord. The smaller sleeve can be snapped off and used for thin cords. | ||||||||
Step 2 | Slide the
retainer around the AC power cord, and pass it around the loop on the switch.
| ||||||||
Step 3 | Slide the
retainer through the first latch.
| ||||||||
Step 4 | Slide the
retainer through the other latches to lock it.
| ||||||||
Step 5 | (Optional) Use
the small sleeve for thin power cords. Use the small sleeve to provide greater
stability for thin cords. Detach the sleeve, and slide it over the power cord.
| ||||||||
Step 6 | Secure the AC
power cord by pressing on the retainer.

The switch 10/100 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:
