Installing the Switch
What is Next
After installing the chassis in its location, complete the installation process by following these
procedures:
• Connecting the chassis to system ground. See “Establishing the System Ground” section on
page 3-52.
• Installing and connecting the power supplies to source power. Go to Chapter 4 for information on
how to install and cable power supplies.
• Connecting the network interface cables to the supervisor engine and modules. This may involve
installing transceivers before you attach the network interface cables. See “Attaching the Interface
Cables” section on page 3-61.
Note
If you are going to use the cable management system to route the network interface cables, refer
to “Using the Catalyst 6509-V-E Cable Management System” section on page 3-78.
• Powering-up the chassis and verifying the installation. See “Verifying Switch Chassis Installation”
section on page 3-84.

There are no optional installation kits for the Catalyst 6509-V-E switch chassis.
Installing a Catalyst 6513 or Catalyst 6513-E Switch Chassis
This section provides a procedure for installing either a Catalyst 6513 or Catalyst 6513-E switch chassis
in a rack assembly and installing the optional cable guide assemblies.
Installation Accessory Kit
The Catalyst 6513 and the Catalyst 6513-E switch chassis are designed to be installed in a standard
19-inch rack either open or enclosed. The chassis is shipped with the 19-inch rack-mount brackets
factory installed on the left-front and right-front of the chassis. Included in the accessory kit are 10-32
x 0.75-inch and 12-24 x 0.75-inch screws that are used to secure the chassis in the rack.
Note Depending on the manufacturer, the rack posts might be prethreaded to accept either 10-32 or 12-24
screws. If the rack posts are not prethreaded, you must install 10-32 or 12-24 clip nuts or cage nuts to
secure the rack-mount screws. The clip nuts or the cage nuts are not included as part of the accessory kit
and must be obtained on your own.
