Install the Switch
You can install the switch on a flat surface or in a standard 19-inch rack.
Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface
The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads. Stick one rubber
footpad on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch. The
rubber footpads cushion the switch against shock and vibrations.
Installing the Switch in a Rack
To install the switch in a rack, you will need the 19-inch rack-mount kit supplied
with your switch.
1.
Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the side of the switch.
2.
Use the provided Phillips head screws to fasten the brackets to the sides of the
switch.
3.
Tighten the screws with a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket.
4.
Align the bracket and rack holes. Use two pan-head screws with nylon
washers to fasten each bracket to the rack.
5.
Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the switch in
the rack.

Hardware Installation

Check the Installation
Before you apply power, perform the following checks:
1.
Inspect the equipment thoroughly.
2.
Verify that all cables are installed correctly.
3.
Check cable routing to ensure that cables are not damaged and will not create
a safety hazard.
4.
Be sure that all equipment is mounted properly and securely.
Connect to Power and Check the LEDs
The switch does not have an ON/OFF switch. The only way to apply or remove
power is to connect or disconnect the power cord. Before you connect the power
cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch (which can turn off
power to the switch).
After you select an appropriate outlet, follow these steps to apply AC power:
1.
Connect one end of the AC power adapter cable to the rear of the switch, and
the other end to a grounded three-pronged AC outlet.
2.
Check the Power LED on the front panel of the switch. The LED should light
up in the following sequence:
•
The LED turns yellow as the switch runs a Power-On Self-Test (POST).
•
The switch passes the test, the LED turns green, and the switch is working
and ready to pass data.
•
If the POST fails, the Power LED blinks yellow.
If the Power LED does not light up, check that the power cable is plugged in
correctly and that the power source is good. For help with troubleshooting,
see Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting”.

Connecting Equipment to the Switch
You can connect devices, an SPF Gigabit Ethernet module, and a console to the
switch.
RJ-45 Ports
The switch uses Auto Uplink technology, which allows you to attach devices
using either straight-through or crossover cables. Use a Category 5 (Cat5)
unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector.
Gigabit Module Bay
You can install an SFP Gigabit Ethernet module in the gigabit module bays. SFP
modules are sold separately.
Four ports on the switch can be used for either STP (RJ-45) or SFP (fiber) cable.
However, both port types cannot be used at the same time. The switch selects the
first connected interface. If both connectors are plugged, the SFP interface
operates normally and disables the copper interface.
The SFP bay accommodates a standard SFP module with an LC connector that is
compatible with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard.
To install an SFP module:
1.
Insert the module into the SFP module bay. Press firmly to ensure that the
module seats into the connector.
Note:
Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch
and the attached device to 328 feet (100 meters).

2.
To install more Gigabit Ethernet modules, repeat step 1.
Connecting a Console to the Switch
After you install the switch and apply power, you can connect to it with a terminal
or workstation. You can use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to identify the IP
address.
To use a console you need the following items:
•
VT100/ANSI terminal, or a Windows PC, Apple Macintosh PC, or UNIX
workstation.
•
Null-modem cable with 9-pin connectors on each end (shipped with the
product).
To connect a console to the switch, follow these steps:
1.
Connect the null-modem cable to the console port of the switch.
2.
Connect the other end of the cable to a workstation or terminal.
3.
If you attached a workstation, start a terminal-emulation program.
•
Microsoft Windows users can use HyperTerminal, which comes with the
Windows operating systems.
•
Macintosh users can use ZTerm.
•
UNIX users can use a terminal emulator such as TIP.
Note:
After the switch has been configured for management, configure
the port with the SFP module to the SFP option. See the
Administration Manual for the Layer-3 Switches
for information
about switch and port configuration.

4.
Configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings:
•
Baud rate: 9,600 bps
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: none
•
Stop bit: 1
•
Flow control: none
After you connect a console to the switch, you will need to configure the switch.
The following documents are provided for this purpose:
•
Quick Install Guide: Explains basic setup and configuration (provided as both
as a print document, and in PDF format on the NETGEAR CD)
•
Command Line Interface Reference for Layer-3 Switches:
Gives detailed
examples of how to use the CLI, and is located on the NETGEAR CD.
•
Administration Manual for the Layer-3 Switches
: Describes configuration
tasks, and is located on the NETGEAR CD.
