We recommend attaching the cable guides to prevent the cables from obscuring
the front panel of the switch and the other devices installed in the rack. If the
switch is in a 19-inch or 24-inch rack, use the supplied black screw, as shown in
Figure 2-6, to attach the cable guide to the left or right bracket.
The Catalyst 3548 XL switch ships with a special cable guide as
shown in Figure 2-7. This cable guide secures up to 48 cables. Use
the supplied black screw to mount it on the left bracket.
