Quick Start Guide Cisco Small Business SFE/SGE Managed Switches Package Contents • SFE/SGE Series Switch • Power Cord • Mounting Hardware • Rubber Feet for Desktop Mounting • Serial Cable • Quick Start Guide • SFE/SGE Series CD 1 Before You Begin This guide is designed to familiarize you with the general layout of the switches, and how to begin installing them in a standard configuration. Your particular switch model may not have all of the features or functionality described in this guide. For more detailed information on the individual switches, see the SFE/ SGE Managed Switch Administration Guide. Before you begin installing the switch, make sure you have all of the package contents available, access to the SFE/SGE Managed Switch Administration Guide, and a PC with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, for using webbased system management tools. NOTE The switch is configured to operate in a stack by default. If you are installing the switch in standalone mode, you must change the switch configuration. Refer to the stacking chapter of the SFE/SGE Managed Switch Administration Guide and to Section 3 of this guide. Switch Location Considerations The switch can be placed on a desktop or mounted in a rack. If you choose the desktop option, install the four rubber feet (included) on the bottom of the switch. ! CAUTION Wall-mounting the switch is discouraged due to the size and weight of the device. Rack Mount Installation Tips • Ambient Temperature-To prevent the switch from overheating, do not operate the switch in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C) • Size-The switch can be mounted in any standard size, 19-inch wide rack. Each switch requires 1 rack unit (RU) of space. • Reduced Air Flow-If you install the switch in a rack, be sure that there is adequate air flow as required. • Mechanical Loading-Be sure that the switch is level and stable when you mount the switch in a rack to avoid any hazardous condition. • Circuit Overloading-Do not overload the power outlet or circuit when installing multiple devices in a rack. • Reliable Grounding-Be sure that the switch is grounded and uses suitable electrical supply connections. To mount the Ethernet switch, follow these instructions: STEP 1 Remove the four screws from each side of the front of the switch. Retain the screws for re-installation. Do not remove the four screws from each side of the back of the switch. STEP 2 Place one of the supplied spacers on the side of the switch so the four holes align to the screw holes. Place a rack mount bracket next to the spacer and reinstall the four screws removed in step 1. NOTE If your screws are not long enough to reattach the bracket with the spacer in place, attach the bracket directly to the case without the spacer. STEP 3 After the mounting hardware has been securely attached, the switch is now ready to be installed into a standard 19-inch rack as shown. ! CAUTION For stability, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest devices on the bottom. A top-heavy rack is likely to be unstable and may tip over. 2 Getting to Know the Switch This guide covers the following products: • SFE2000/P • SGE2000/P • SFE2010/P • SGE2010/P Switch Ports and LEDs The LEDs and network ports are located on the front panel of the switch. Refer to the Port Descriptions table, for details on port functionality. NOTE The P in the model name indicates that the switch provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) to connected devices. Port Descriptions Port Switch Ports Uplink Ports mini-GBIC Ports Description The switch is equipped with auto-sensing, Ethernet (802.3) network ports which use RJ-45 connectors. The Ethernet ports support network speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps. They can operate in half-duplex and full-duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed and duplex mode of a connected device, and to adjust both accordingly. These ports are typically used for devices such as PCs, servers, IP phones and Access Points. These ports are typically used for connecting to other switches, routers, or network backbone devices. The miniGBIC ports are considered uplink ports. The mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) port is a connection point for a mini-GBIC expansion module, allowing the switch to be uplinked via fiber to another switch. Each mini-GBIC port provides a link to a high-speed network segment or individual workstation at speeds of up to 1000 Mbps. Port LEDs LINK/ACT-Each green LED lights up when a connection is made through its corresponding port. It flashes when the corresponding port is active. SPEED-On non-PoE switches, a green LED indicates that the port is operating at the maximum speed (Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet). PoE-On PoE switches, a green LED indicates that PoE is active on that port. The switch can deliver a maximum of 15.4 Watts to a PoE port. See the SFE/ SGE Managed Switch Administration Guide for platform PoE power limitations. Switch LEDs PWR-A green LED lights up and remains lit when the switch is powered on. FAN-A green LED lights up to indicate that the cooling fan is operating properly. A flashing red LED indicates that the cooling fan has failed. RPS-A green LED lights up to indicate that RPS is connected and operating properly. A flashing red LED indicates an RPS fault. MST-A green LED indicates that this switch is a stack master. Stack ID-A green LED indicates that this switch is stacked and the corresponding number indicates its stack ID. Other Features Reset-The switch can be reset by inserting a pin or paper clip into the RESET opening. RPS-A connector for a Redundant Power Supply is located on the back of the switch. Power-The Power port is where you will connect the power cord. Console-The Console port is where you can connect a serial cable to a PC's serial port for configuration using a terminal emulation program. ! CAUTION If the RESET switch is pressed for more than 10 seconds, the switch will reset to its default settings. All customized user settings will be lost.
