Installing the Switch
Do not wall-mount the switch with its front panel facing up or sideways. According to safety regulations, 
wall-mount the switch with its front panel facing down to prevent airflow restriction and to provide 
easier access to the cables.

Troubleshooting
The LEDs on the front panel provide troubleshooting information about the switch. They show failures 
in the power-on self-test (POST), port-connectivity problems, and overall switch performance. For a full 
description of the switch LEDs, see the “LEDs” section on page 1-11.
You can also get statistics from the browser interface, from the command-line interface (CLI), or from 
a Simple Network Management...

Evaluate Switch POST Results
As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the 
switch functions properly. It might take several minutes for the switch to complete POST.
When the switch begins POST, the system LED slowly blinks green. When POST completes, the system 
LED blinks amber. If POST fails, the system LED remains amber. If...

Ethernet and Fiber Cables
Make sure that you have the correct cable type for the connection:
For Ethernet, use Category 3 copper cable for 10 Mb/s unshielded twisted pair (UTP) connections. 
Use either Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP for 10/100 or 10/100/1000 Mb/s 
connections.
For fiber-optic connectors, verify that you have the correct cable for the distance and port type....

Port and Interface Settings
An obvious but sometimes overlooked cause of port connectivity failure is a disabled port. Verify that 
the port or interface is not disabled or for some reason powered off. If a port or interface is manually 
shut down on one or the other side of the link, the link does not come up until you re-enable the port. 
Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command...
