Sample connections

This switch is designed for indoor use only. If you want to connect it to a device located outdoors, the outdoor device must be properly grounded and surge protected, and you must install an Ethernet surge protector inline between the switch and the outdoor device. Failure to do so can damage the switch.

Before connecting this switch to outdoor cables or devices, see https://kb.netgear.com/000057103 for safety and warranty information.

Attach the device to a wall

To attach the switch to a wall, you need the wall-mount screws that are supplied with the switch. These screws are 6.3 mm in diameter, 27 mm in length.
The switch must be mounted horizontally, with the ports either at the bottom or the top of the switch. Do not mount it vertically.

To attach the switch to a wall:

Locate the four mount holes on the bottom panel of the switch.
Mark and drill four holes in the wall where you want to mount the switch.
You must mount the switch horizontally. The four holes must be at a precise distance of 3.94 in. (100 mm) from each other so that they form a square where each side is 3.94 in. (100 mm).
Insert the supplied anchors into the wall and tighten the supplied screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver.
Leave about 0.15 in. (4 mm) of each screw protruding from the wall so that you can insert the screws into the holes on the bottom panel.
Position the switch so that the mount holes are directly over the screws, and slide the switch down until the top of each mount hole sits directly on the screw, locking the switch securely.

Install the device in a rack

To install the switch in a rack, you need the rack-mount brackets and screws that are supplied with the switch.

To install the switch in a rack:

Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the side of the switch.
Insert the screws provided in the product package through each bracket and into the bracket mounting holes in the switch.
Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket.
Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in the rack, and insert two panhead screws with nylon washers through each bracket and into the rack.
Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure mounting brackets to the rack.
