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.
For multimode (MM) connections, you can connect a 100BASE-FX port to a port on a target device by
using an dual-LC connector.
You can order a kit containing four spare latches (DINCLP-IE3000=) from Cisco.
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. You can also
add either 4 or 8 100BASE-X SFP ports by installing the Cisco IEM-3000-4SM or Cisco IEM-3000-8SM
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.
Note
The expansion modules cannot operate as standalone devices.
Expansion Module Configurations
Both the IE-3000-4TC and the IE-3000-8TC can be configured with one or two expansion modules to
increasing the number and type of ports for the switch.
lists the supported port combinations
of switch and expansion modules. The table also provides a breakdown of the type and quantity of ports
for a particular switch expansion module configuration.
