Cisco IE 3000 Switch Hardware Installation Guide
Appendix B Installation In a Hazardous Environment
Adding Modules to the Switch
Note
When the switch is installed in an industrial enclosure, the temperature within the enclosure
is greater than normal room temperature outside the enclosure.
The temperature inside the enclosure cannot exceed 140°F (60°C), the maximum ambient
enclosure temperature of the switch.
•
Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent
lighting fixtures.
•
Connect the unit only to a Class 2 DC power source.
Verifying Package Contents
Carefully remove the contents from the shipping container, and check each item for damage. If any item
is missing or damaged, contact your Cisco representative or reseller for support. Return all packing
materials to the shipping container and save them.
The switch is shipped with these items:
•
Documentation CD that includes:
–
Cisco IE 3000 Switch Getting Started Guide (
in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian,
Japanese, and simplified Chinese)
–
Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco IE 3000 Switch
•
Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco IE 3000 Switch
(safety warnings
translated in German)
•
Two power and relay connectors
•
RJ-45 to DB-9 console port adapter cable
Note
To connect the switch functional ground, you need a ring terminal lug (such as Thomas & Bett part
number RC10-14 or equivalent).
If you want to connect a terminal to the switch console port, 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.
You can order a kit containing four spare latches (DINCLP-IE3000=) from Cisco.
For multimode (MM) connections, you can connect a 100BASE-FX port to a port on a target device by
using an dual-LC connector.
Adding Modules to the Switch
The Cisco IE-3000-4TC or the Cisco IE-3000-8TC switch can operate as standalone devices with four
or eight Fast Ethernet ports, respectively. To increase the number of Fast Ethernet ports by 8 or 16, you
can connect the Cisco IEM-3000-8TM and the Cisco IEM-3000-8FM expansion modules. PoE-capable
ports can also be added to the switch by installing either the IEM-3000-4PC or the IEM-3000-4PC-4TC
PoE expansion modules. Depending on the mix of switches and expansion modules, you can have up to
24 Fast Ethernet ports.
