• Temperature around the unit does not exceed 122°F (50°C). If the switch is installed in a closed or
multirack assembly, the temperature around it might be greater than normal room temperature.
• Humidity around the switch does not exceed 95 percent.
• Altitude at the installation site is not greater than 10,000 feet.
• For 10/100/1000 fixed ports, the cable length from a switch to a connected device cannot exceed 328
feet (100 meters).
• Cooling mechanisms, such as fans and blowers in the switch, can draw dust and other particles causing
contaminant build-up inside the chassis, which can result in system malfunction. You must install this
equipment in an environment as free from dust and foreign conductive material (such as metal flakes
from construction activities) as is possible.
• None of the switch models can be deployed outside of the wiring closet. These switches can only be
deployed indoors.
Verifying Switch Operation
Before you install the switch on a wall, or on a table or shelf, power on the switch and verify that it passes
POST.
To power on the switch, plug one end of the AC power cord into the switch AC power connector, and plug
the other end into an AC power outlet.
As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the switch
functions properly. LEDs can blink during the test. The SYST LED blinks green.
When the switch completes POST successfully, the SYST LED remains green.If a switch fails POST, the
SYST LED turns amber.
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST.
After a successful POST, unplug the power cord from the switch and install the switch on a wall, on a table,
or on a shelf.
Attach only the following Cisco external power system to the switch: Cisco XPS 2200 Statement 387
