LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant 
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial 
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause 
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required 
to correct the interference at their own expense. 
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not 
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to 
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable 
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. 
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital 
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television 
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its 
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:



et that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits 
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.) 
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Preface
Audience 
This guide is for the networking or computer technician responsible for installing the Catalyst 3560 
switch, hereafter known as the switch. We assume that you are familiar with the concepts and 
terminology of Ethernet and local area networking. If you are interested in more training and education 
in these areas, learning opportunities including training courses, self-study options, seminars, and career 
certifications programs are available on the Cisco Training & Events web page:
http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/index.html
Purpose
This guide describes the hardware features of the Catalyst 3560 switch. It describes the physical and 
performance characteristics of the switch, explains how to install it, and provides troubleshooting 
information.
This guide does not describe system messages that you might receive or how to configure your switch. 
For more information, see the switch software configuration guide, the switch command reference, and 
the switch system message guide on the Cisco.com Product Documentation home page. For information 
about the standard Cisco IOS Release 12.2 commands, see the Cisco IOS documentation set available 
from the Cisco.com home page at Products & Services > Technical Support & Documentation > See
