Chapter 3 Switch Installation (8-Port Switches) Installing the Switch Desk- or Shelf-Mounting (with Mounting Screws) This section is specific to the Catalyst 2960 8-port switches. For information applicable to the other Catalyst 2960 switches, see Chapter 2, "Switch Installation (24- and 48-Port Switches)." The switch can be secured to a desk or shelf with mounting screws. Step 1 Step 2 Locate the screw template. You can use the template to align the mounting screw holes and also as a guide to make sure that you install the screws into the desk or shelf with proper clearance. Position the screw template on top of the desk or shelf so that the two side-by-side slots face the front of the desk or shelf, as shown in Figure 3-1. This ensures that the power cord faces the rear of the desk or shelf after the switch is installed. Note Wait before you attach the screw template to the desk or shelf. Figure 3-1 3 Installing the Mounting Screws on Top of a Desk or Shelf 2 1 210096 1 Screw template 3 Desk or shelf 2 Screws Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Peel the adhesive strip off the bottom of the screw template, and attach it to the top of the desk or shelf. Use a 0.144-inch (3.7 mm) or a #27 drill bit to drill a 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) hole in the three screw template slots. Insert three screws in the slots on the screw template, and tighten them until they touch the top of the screw template. Remove the screw template from the desk or shelf. Place the switch onto the mounting screws, and slide the switch forward until it locks in place, as shown in Figure 3-2. Note We strongly recommend that you allow at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance around the ventilation openings to prevent airflow restriction and overheating. Do not stack switches or place switches side-by-side unless they are separated on all sides with at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance from each other. Do not place any items on the top of the switch. OL-7075-09 Catalyst 2960 Switch Hardware Installation Guide 3-7
