    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 can affect its performance. Before installing the switch or switches, make sure that the location meets the following site requirements.
  • Page 20 Operating humidity Ventilation Cabling Locate the switch in a position that lets you access the front panel RJ-45 ports, view the front panel LEDs, and access the rear-panel power connector. Provide a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the installation location.
  • Page 21: Install The Switch

    Managed Layer 2 Switches GSM7212, GSM7224, and GSM7248 Hardware Installation Guide 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.
  • Page 22: Check The Installation

    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).
  • Page 23: Connecting Equipment To The Switch

    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.

    Troubleshooting Cause Solution No power is received Check the power cord connections for the switch at the switch and at the connecting device. Make sure that all cables used are correct and comply with Ethernet specifications. Port connection is not Check the crimp on the connectors working.
  • Page 28: Additional Troubleshooting Suggestions

    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.
  • Page 29 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.
