5. Tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the switch in the rack. Figure 2-1 Note: Always install devices from the bottom of the to the top. This will prevent the rack from over balancing and toppling over. -
Page 20: Step 4: Connecting Devices To The Switch
Step 4: Connecting Devices to the Switch The following procedure describes how to connect PCs to the switch’s RJ-45 ports. The NETGEAR Smart Switch contains Auto Uplink™ technology, which allows you to attach devices using either straight-through or crossover cables. -
Page 21: Step 6: Applying Ac Power
Figure 2-3 Step 6: Applying AC Power NETGEAR Smart Switch does not have an ON/OFF switch. The method of applying or removing AC power is by connecting or disconnecting the power cord. Before connecting the power cord, select a grounded 3-pronged AC source that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch. -
Page 22: Step 7: Managing The Switch Through A Web Browser Or The Pc Utility For Initial Configuration
Step 7: Managing the Switch through a Web Browser or the PC Utility for Initial Configuration The NETGEAR Smart Switch contains software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way it works. This management software is not required for the switch to work. You can use the ports without using the management software. -

Page 26: Device Hardware Interfaces
“Factory Defaults Button” RJ-45 Ports RJ-45 ports are auto-sensing ports. When inserting a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (half-or full- duplex) of the attached device. All ports support only Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug. -
Page 27: Sfp Gbic Module
The GBIC module bays accommodate standard SFP GBIC modules, such as the AGM731F, AGM732F, or AGM733 from NETGEAR, allowing fiber connections on the network. The module bay is a combo port, sharing a connection with an RJ-45 port. Being a combo port, only one type of connection can be active at any given time. - Page 28 GS700AT Hardware Installation Guide Physical Description v1.0, October 2008...

AC power from the switch and then reconnect AC source. If the problem continues, contact NETGEAR technical support. In North America, call 1-888-NETGEAR. If you are outside of North America, please refer to the support information card included with your product. -
Page 31: Auto-Negotiation
The RJ-45 ports negotiate the correct duplex mode and speed if the device at the other end of the link supports auto-negotiation. If the device does not support auto negotiation, the switch only determines the speed correctly and the duplex mode defaults to half-duplex. - Page 32 GS700AT Hardware Installation Guide Troubleshooting v1.0, October 2008...
