Prepare to Install the Switch
Decide where you want to place the switch. Find a flat horizontal surface such as a
table, desk or shelf. Make sure the selected location is:
• Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent.
• Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear
space on all sides of the switch.
• Well ventilated (especially if it is in a closet).
Note: The switch is not designed to be stacked on top of other switches. If you
need several units in one location, use the vertical stand to position them near
each other.
Depending on the speed of your network devices, you need a Category 3 (10
Mbps), Category 5 (100 Mbps) or Category 5e (1000 Mbps) Ethernet cablecable
with RJ-45 connectors for each device you want to connect to the switch. Each
Ethernet cable must be less than 328 feet (100 meters).
Install the Switch and Connect the Other Devices
1. Place the switch on a flat surface. If you want to use the vertical stand, attach
both pieces it to the switch.
2. For each device, insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the port in the device
and insert the other end into one of the Ethernet ports on the switch.

If you have more devices to connect than the number of ports on the switch,
connect the devices to a hub or other switch and then connect that hub or
switch to this switch. See the note about placing several switches near each
other in the previous section.
3. Connect the power adapter cord into the back of the switch and then plug the
adapter into a power source (such as a wall socket or power strip).
4. Check the LEDs to confirm that the switch is connected correctly.
• The Power LED is lit.
• Each port on the back has associated with it a bicolor LED on the front.
- Green: 1000 Mbps link
- Amber: 10 Mpbs or 100 Mbps link
- Blinking: Activity
Note: If any light does not operate as indicated, go to the Troubleshooting section.
Troubleshooting
The Power light is not lit.
The switch has no power.
• Make sure that the power cord is correctly connected to the switch.
• Make sure that the power adapter is connected to a functioning power outlet. If it
is in a power strip, make sure that the power strip is turned on. If the socket is
controlled by a light switch, make sure that the switch is in the on position.
• Make sure that you that are using the NETGEAR power adapter supplied with
your switch.
The Port number light is not lit for a connected device or stays on continuously.
There is a hardware connection problem.
• Make sure that the cable connectors are securely plugged in at the switch and
the device.
• Make sure that the connected device is turned on.
• If the Ethernet cable is connected to a NIC or other Ethernet adapter, make sure
that the card or adapter is installed correctly and is working.
• Make sure that the cable is less than 328 feet (100 meters).
