Preparing for Installation
Statement 371—Power Cable and AC Adapter
CautionTo comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) standard for 
electromagnetic compatibility and safety, connect the ethernet cables only to intrabuilding or 
nonexposed wiring or cabling. 
CautionTo comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard, PoE or non-PoE 10/100/1000 Ethernet port 
cables that exit from either the left side or right side of the switch should be routed and tied to the nearest 
rack metal hardware.
NoteThe grounding architecture of this product is DC-isolated (DC-I).
Installation Guidelines
When you determine where to place the switch, be sure to observe these requirements:
The operating environment is within the ranges listed in Appendix A, “Technical Specifications.” 
Airflow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted. Allow at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of 
clearance on all sides and ventilation openings, particularly if you stack the switches or place them 
side by side.
You have allowed at least 1.75 inches (4 cm) of clearance above each switch in the rack.
Clearance to front and rear panels is such that
 –You can easily read the front-panel indicators.
 –Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.
 –The rear-panel power connector is within reach of an AC power receptacle.
Temperature around the unit does not exceed 113°F (45°C). 
If the switch is installed in a closed environment or in a multirack assembly, the temperature around 
it might be greater than normal room temperature. 
The heat sinks and the bottom of the switch might be hot to the touch if the switch is operating at 
its maximum temperature 113°F (45°C) and is in an environment that exceeds normal room 
temperature (such as in a closet, in a cabinet, or in a closed or multirack assembly).
No other items are placed on the top of the switch.
The switch is not wall-mounted 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.

Chapter 3      Switch Installation (8- and 12-Port Switches)
Preparing for Installation
Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent 
lighting fixtures. Make sure the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the 
cables.
For copper Ethernet ports, including 10/100 ports, 10/100/1000 ports, and 1000BASE-T 
SFP module ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected devices can be up to 328 feet 
(100 meters).
The cables meet the specifications in Table B-1 on page B-4, which lists the cable specifications for 
1000BASE-X and 100BASE-X SFP modules for the Catalyst 3560 switch. Catalyst 3560 switch 
SFP ports use both GLC-GE-100XX and GLC-FE-100XX SFP modules. 
When you use shorter lengths of single-mode fiber cable, you might need to insert an inline optical 
attenuator in the link to avoid overloading the receiver. 
When the fiber-optic cable span is less than 15.43 miles (25 km), you should insert a 5-decibel (dB) 
or 10-dB inline optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 
1000BASE-ZX SFP module at each end of the link. 
Cisco Ethernet Switches are equipped with cooling mechanisms, such as fans and blowers. 
However, these fans and blowers can draw dust and other particles, causing contaminant buildup 
inside the chassis, which can result in a system malfunction. 
You must install this equipment in an environment as free as possible from dust and foreign 
conductive material (such as metal flakes from construction activities).
These standards provide guidelines for acceptable working environments and acceptable levels of 
suspended particulate matter:
 –Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) GR-63-CORE
 –National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Type 1
 –International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) IP-20
This applies to all Cisco Ethernet switches except for this compact model: 
 –Catalyst 3560-8PC switch—8 10/100 PoE ports and 1 dual-purpose port (one 
10/100/1000BASE-T copper port and one SFP module slot) 
Equipment That You Supply
You need this equipment to install the switch:
Number-2 Phillips screwdriver
Drill with a #27 drill bit (0.144-inch [3.7 mm])
You can order an optional cable guard to secure cables to the front of the switch and to prevent accidental 
removal. To order a cable guard (CBLGRD-C3560-12PC or CBLGRD-C3560-8PC), contact your Cisco 
representative.
The switch has security slots in the left and right side panels. You can install an optional cable lock, such 
as the type that is used to secure a laptop, to secure either or both sides of the switch. Cable locks are 
available from most computer accessory suppliers.
Installing the switch in a 19-inch rack requires an optional bracket kit that is not included but which you 
can order, RCKMNT-19-CMPCT=.
If you want to connect a terminal to the switch console port, you need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-25 
female DTE adapter. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) with that adapter from 
Cisco.

Verifying Switch Operation
Box Contents
The switch getting started guide on Cisco.com describes the box contents. If any item is missing or 
damaged, contact your Cisco representative or reseller for support.
Tools and Equipment
You need to supply a number-2 Phillips screwdriver to rack-mount the switch.
Verifying Switch Operation
Before you install the switch, power it on and verify that it passes POST. See the getting started guide 
for the steps required to connect a PC to the switch and to run Express Setup. To power on the switch, 
connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC power connector on the switch, and connect the other 
end of the power cord to an AC power outlet.
When the switch powers on, it automatically begins the POST, a series of tests that verifies that the 
switch functions properly. 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 POST 
completes successfully, the system LED rapidly blinks green.
Call Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST.
Powering Off the Switch
After a successful POST, disconnect the power cord from the switch. Install the switch in a rack, on a 
wall, on a table, or on a shelf as described in the “Installing the Switch” section on page 3-7.

Step 1Locate the adhesive strip with the rubber feet in the accessory kit. 
Step 2Remove the four rubber feet from the adhesive strip, and attach them to the recessed areas on the bottom 
of the unit. They prevent the switch from sliding on the desk or shelf.
NoteWe strongly recommend that you attach the rubber feet. Doing so improves airflow and reduces 
overheating.
Step 3Place the switch on the desk or shelf.
Desk or Shelf Mounting (Secured)
Step 1Locate the screw template. The template is used to align the mounting screw holes and is also a guide 
for making sure that the screws have proper clearance.
Step 2Position 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.
NoteWait before you attach the screw template to the desk or shelf.
