Audience This guide is for the networking or computer technician responsible for installing the Catalyst 2970 switch, hereafter known as the switch. We assume that you are familiar with the concepts and terminology of Ethernet and local area networking. Purpose This guide describes the hardware features of the Catalyst 2970 switch.
This guide is organized into these chapters: Chapter 1, “Product Overview,” is a physical and functional overview of the Catalyst 2970 switch. It describes the switch ports, the standards they support, and the switch LEDs. Chapter 2, “Switch Installation,” contains the procedures on how to power the switch, how to install the switch in a rack, on a wall, on a table, or on a shelf, and how to make port connections.

SFP module slots on the front of the Catalyst 2970G-24TS switch. These field-replaceable modules provide uplink interfaces. You can use any combination of SFP modules. See the Catalyst 2970 release notes for the list of SFP modules that the Catalyst 2970G-24TS switch supports. Each port must match the wave-length specifications on the other end of the cable, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.
Switch Installation Installing and Removing SFP Modules Use only Cisco SFP modules on the Catalyst 2970 switch. Each SFP module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information. This encoding provides a way for Cisco to identify and validate that the SFP module meets the requirements for the switch.
