1 About this Guide
This guide provides instructions on how to install and configure your Cisco Metro Ethernet (ME)
switch. Also covered are switch management options, basic rack-mounting procedures, port and
module connections, power connection procedures, and troubleshooting help.
For additional installation and configuration information, see the Cisco ME switch documentation on
Cisco.com. For system requirements, important notes, limitations, open and resolved bugs, and
last-minute documentation updates, see the release notes, also on Cisco.com.
When using the online publications, refer to the documents that match the Cisco IOS software version
that is running on the switch. Look on the switch rear panel to locate the software version.
You can order printed copies of the manuals from the Cisco.com sites and from the telephone numbers
listed in the “Obtaining Documentation” section on page 23.
Before you set up your switch, and to see translations of safety warnings, review the warnings
that appear in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco ME 3400 and
Cisco ME 2400 Switches that accompanies this guide.
