Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Installation instructions

Catalyst 2960-X and 2960-XR Switch Hardware Guide
The Catalyst 2960-X and Catalyst 2960-XRfamily of switches are Ethernet switches to
which you can connect devices such as Cisco IP Phones, Cisco Wireless Access Points,
workstations, and other network devices such as servers, routers, and other switches.
Some models of the switches support stacking through the Cisco FlexStack-Plus
technology. Unless otherwise noted, the term switch refers to a standalone switch and to a
switch stack.

PoE and PoE+ Ports
The ports provide PoE+ support for devices compliant with IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at,
and ePoE and also provide Cisco prestandard PoE support for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco
Aironet Access Points.
The maximum switch power output is either 740 W or 370 W, depending on the switch
model. Intelligent power management allows flexible power allocation across all ports.
For switches with a 740 W power budget, you can budget the PoE and PoE+:
15.4 W of PoE output on 48 ports
30 W of PoE+ on 24 ports
For switches with a 370 W power budget, you can budget the PoE and PoE+:
15.4 W of PoE output on 24 ports
7.7 W of PoE output on 48 ports
30 W of PoE+ on 12 ports
Total power budget can be allocated among the ports

On a per-port basis, you control whether or not a port automatically provides power when
an IP phone or an access point is connected.
The PoE ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is
328 feet (100 meters). The 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T traffic requires
Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-
T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 UTP cable.
Cisco intelligent power management capabilities include enhanced power negotiation,
power reservation, and per-port power policing. For information about configuring and
monitoring PoE ports, see the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com.
Note
The output of the PoE circuit has been evaluated as a Limited Power Source (LPS) per IEC 60950
10/100/1000 Ports
The 10/100/1000 ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable
length is 328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX traffic requires Category 5,
Category 5e, or Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can
use Category 3 or Category 4 UTP cable.

Management Ports
The management ports connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a
terminal server.
Ethernet management port.
RJ-45 console port (EIA/TIA-232).
USB mini-Type B console port (5-pin connector).
The 10/100 Ethernet management port connection uses a standard RJ-45 crossover or
straight-through cable. The RJ-45 console port connection uses the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9
female cable. The USB console port connection uses a USB Type A to 5-pin mini-Type B
cable. The USB console interface speeds are the same as the RJ-45 console interface
speeds.
If you use the USB mini-Type B console port, the Cisco Windows USB device driver must
be installed on any PC connected to the console port (for operation with Microsoft
Windows). Mac OS X or Linux do not require special drivers.

The 4-pin mini-Type B connector resembles the 5-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are
not compatible. Use only the 5-pin mini-Type B.
Figure 3. USB Mini-Type B Port. This illustration shows a 5-pin mini-Type B USB port.
With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, you can connect and disconnect the USB
cable from the console port without affecting Windows HyperTerminal operations.
The console output always goes to both the RJ-45 and the USB console connectors, but the
console input is active on only one of the console connectors at any one time. The USB
console takes precedence over the RJ-45 console. When a cable is connected into the USB
console port, the RJ-45 console port becomes inactive. Conversely, when the USB cable is
disconnected from the USB console port, the RJ-45 port becomes active.
You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to configure an inactivity timeout which
reactivates the RJ-45 console if the USB console has been activated and no input activity
has occurred on the USB console for a specified time.
After the USB console deactivates due to inactivity, you cannot use the CLI to reactivate it.
Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to reactivate the USB console. For information on
using the CLI to configure the USB console interface, see the software guide.
USB Type A Port
The USB Type A port provides access to external USB flash devices (also known as thumb
drives or USB keys).
The port supports Cisco USB flash drives with capacities from 128 MB to 8 GB (USB
devices with port densities of 128 MB, 256 MB, 1 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB are supported).
When combined with stacking, you can upgrade other switches in the stack from an USB
key inserted in any switch within the stack. Cisco IOS software provides standard file
system access to the flash device: read, write, erase, and copy, as well as the ability to
format the flash device with a FAT file system.
SFP and SFP+ Module Slots
The switch has either two or four 1-Gigabit SFP or two 10-Gigabit SFP+ module slots. The
slots marked SFP+support both SFP and SFP+ modules. The SFP slots support only the
SFP modules.
