Chapter 3 Switch Installation (8-Port Switches)
Installing the Switch
For configuration instructions about using the CLI setup program, go to Appendix C, “Configuring the
Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program.”
Rack-Mounting
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).”
Installing the Catalyst 2960 8-port switches in a 19-inch rack requires an optional bracket kit that is not
included with the switch. You can order a kit containing the 19-inch rack-mounting brackets and
hardware from Cisco. The kit part number is RCKMNT-19-CMPCT=.
To install the switch in a 19-inch rack, follow the instructions described in these sections:
• Attaching Brackets to the Switch, page 3-15
• Mounting the Switch in a 19-Inch Rack, page 3-16
Attaching Brackets to the Switch
Figure 3-8 shows how to attach a 19-inch bracket to one side of the switch. Follow the same steps to
attach the second bracket to the opposite side.
