Introduction
This hardware installation guide complements the installation guide that came with your
switch and applies to the NETGEAR GS418TPP ProSAFE®16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed
Switch with PoE+ and 2 SFP Ports. The switch is specifically designed to “put your ports
where you want them” to power your IP security cameras, WiFi access points, or VoIP
phones with PoE+ (802.3at) up to 30W per port. The switch can provide a total power
budget of 240W across all active PoE+ ports.
The GS418TPP provides sixteen 1-Gigabit RJ-45 copper PoE+ ports with 2 dedicated
SFP fiber ports in a unique form factor that can be mounted on a wall, a rectangular
pole, or desktop.
This chapter serves as an introduction to the switch and includes the following sections:
• Overview
• Features
• Safety instructions and warnings
Note: For more information about the topics that are covered in this manual, visit the
support website at support.netgear.com.
Note: For technical specifications, see the data sheet at
netgear.com/business/products/switches/managed. For switch documentation, visit
downloadcenter.netgear.com.

Overview
The switch provides sixteen 10/100/1000M BASE-T RJ-45 copper ports that support
nonstop 10/100/1000M Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks. Two additional ports can accept
small form-factor pluggable (SFP) 1G fiber optical modules.
Using the 1G ports, you can create high-speed connections to a server, network attached
storage (NAS) system, or backbone network. For example, you can do the following:
•Connect switches to each other with high-speed links
•Link to high-speed servers
•Provide 10/100/1000M copper and 1G fiber connectivity
The switch provides administrative management options that let you configure, monitor,
and control the network. Using the web browser-based management interface, you can
configure the switch and the network, including the ports, the management VLAN,
VLANs for traffic control, link aggregation for increased bandwidth, quality of service
(QoS) for prioritizing traffic, and network security.
Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the Smart Control Center program,
which runs on a Windows-based computer. If you do not use a Windows-based computer,
get the IP address of the switch from the DHCP server in the network or use an IP scanner
utility.
After discovery, you can configure the switch using the web browser-based management
interface for advanced setup and configuration of features, or the Smart Control Center
program for very basic setup. For more information, see the user manual that you can
download from downloadcenter.netgear.com.
You can install the switch freestanding or rack mounted in a wiring closet or equipment
room. The switch is IEEE compliant and offers low latency for high-speed networking.
All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed, which makes the switch very
suitable for a mixed environment with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.
Use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher rated Ethernet cables terminated with RJ-45
connectors to make 1-Gigibit connections.

Safety instructions and warnings
Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help
protect your system from potential damage.
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment,
observe the following precautions:
•This product is designed for indoor use only in a temperature-controlled and
humidity-controlled environment. For more information, see the environmental
specifications in the appendix or the data sheet.
Any device that is located outdoors and connected to this product must be properly
grounded and surge protected.
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in damage to your NETGEAR product,
which might not be covered by NETGEAR’s warranty, to the extent permissible by
applicable law.

•Observe and follow service markings:
- Do not service any product except as explained in your system documentation.
Some devices should never be opened.
-If applicable to your device, opening or removing covers that are marked with
the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt can expose you to electrical shock.
We recommend that only a trained technician services components inside these
compartments.
•If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet
and replace the part or contact your trained service provider:
- Depending on your device, the power adapter, power adapter cable, power
cable, extension cable, or plug is damaged.
-An object fell into the product.
- The product was exposed to water.
- The product was dropped or damaged.
-The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating
instructions.
•Keep your system away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling
vents.
•Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the
product in a wet environment. If the system gets wet, see the appropriate section in
your troubleshooting guide, or contact your trained service provider.
•Do not push any objects into the openings of your system. Doing so can cause fire
or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
•Use the product only with approved equipment.
•If applicable to your device, allow the product to cool before removing covers or
touching internal components.
•Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated on the
electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required,
consult your service provider or local power company.
•To avoid damaging your system, if your device uses a power supply with a voltage
selector, be sure that the selector is set to match the power at your location:
-115V, 60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries
such as South Korea and Taiwan
- 100V, 50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100V, 60 Hz in western Japan
-230V, 50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East

•Be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available
in your location.
•Depending on your device, use only a supplied power adapter or approved power
cable:
If your device uses a power adapter:
-If you were not provided with a power adapter, contact your local NETGEAR
reseller.
-The power adapter must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current
marked on the product electrical ratings label.
If your device uses a power cable:
-If you were not provided with a power cable for your system or for any
AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable approved
for your country.
-The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current
marked on the product electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of
the cable must be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
•To help prevent electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power cables into
properly grounded electrical outlets.
•If applicable to your device, the peripheral power cables are equipped with
three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or
remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use
a three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
•Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere
rating of all products plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not
exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power strip.
•To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in
electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power
supply (UPS).
•Position system cables, power adapter cables, or power cables carefully. Route
cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests
on any cables.
•Do not modify power adapters, power adapter cables, power cables or plugs. Consult
a licensed electrician or your power company for site modifications.
•Always follow your local and national wiring rules.
