Chapter 2 Installation Installing the Switch Mounting the Switch in a Rack After attaching the brackets, use the four Phillips machine screws to securely attach the brackets to the rack, as shown in Figure 2-16. When installing a switch other than an LRE switch, to prevent the cables from obscuring the switch and other devices in the rack, you can also attach the cable guide to the rack.
Chapter 2 Installation Installing the Switch Installing the Switch on a Table, Shelf, or Desk Before placing the switch on a table, shelf, or desk, locate the adhesive strip with rubber feet in the mounting-kit envelope, and attach four rubber feet to the recessed areas on the switch bottom. Place the switch on a table, shelf, or desk near an AC power source or DC-input power source.
Chapter 2 Installation Installing the Switch Attaching the RPS Connector Cover If you are not using an RPS with your switch, use two number-4 Phillips pan-head screws to install an RPS connector cover to the back of the switch. (See Figure 2-19.) The pan-head screws are included in the accessory kit.
Installing the Optional AC Ground Kit for Catalyst 2950 Switches For switches that require a two-hole lug for grounding, you can order a kit containing the ground lug and hardware (Cisco part number NEBS-LUG-3550=). When you install the ground-lug kit, you cannot connect an RPS to the switch.

Appendix B Connectors and Cables Connector Specifications Use a straight-through cable to connect two ports only when one port is designated with an X. Use a Note crossover cable to connect two ports when both ports are designated with an X or when both ports do not have an X.
Appendix B Connectors and Cables Connector Specifications Connecting to 1000BASE-T Devices When connecting the ports to 1000BASE-T devices, such as servers, workstations, and routers, you must use a four twisted-pair, Category 5, straight-through cable wired for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T. Figure B-14 shows the straight-through cable schematics.
You can connect a 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-SX port to an SC or ST port on a target device by using one of the MT-RJ fiber-optic patch cables listed in Table 2-1 on page 2-29. Use the Cisco part numbers Table 2-1 to order the patch cables that you need.
RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable. If you want to connect a switch to a terminal, 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. For console-port and adapter-pinout information, see Table B-3 Table B-4.
