To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the switch. v1.0, March 2006 Hardware Installation...
4. Make sure that all items are present. See “Package Contents” on page 3-1. Note: If any item is found missing or damaged, contact your local NETGEAR reseller for replacement. 5. Inspect the products and accessories for damage. Report any damage immediately.
The switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch (48.26-centimeter) rack, wall- mounted, or left freestanding (placed on a tabletop). The site where you install the switch may greatly affect its performance. Before installing the switch or switches, make sure that the chosen installation location meets the following site requirements.
Hardware Installation Guide for Managed Stackable Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switches 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 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).
Up to eight switches can be stacked. The last two ports on the right side of the front panel of each switch are preconfigured for stacking. These are ports 27 and 28 for the FSM7328S, and ports 51 and 52 for the FSM7352S and FSM7352PS.
Figure 3-3 You can connect a DC-to-DC power supply to the switch in case the primary power supply fails. To connect a redundant power supply to the switch, first turn off the switch. Then connect the redundant power supply to the switch. Once all connections are completed, apply power to the switch.
Hardware Installation Guide for Managed Stackable Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switches 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.

The following documents are provided for this purpose: • Quick Install Guide: Explains basic set up and configuration (provided as both a print document and in PDF format on the NETGEAR CD) • Command Line Interface Reference for the ProSafe 7300S Series Layer-3 Stackable Switches: Gives detailed examples of how to use the CLI, and is located on the NETGEAR CD.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Cause Solution No power is received Check the power cord connection for the switch at the switch and at the connecting device. Make sure all cables used are correct and comply with Ethernet specifications. Port connection is not Check the crimp on the connectors working.
You can verify the integrity of the switch by resetting the switch. To reset the switch, use the Tools> Reset command or remove AC power from the switch and then reapply AC power. If the problem continues, contact NETGEAR technical support. See the Support Information Card that shipped with your product.

The 10/100/1000 Mbps 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.
