Introduction 1
The NETGEAR Managed Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch is a state-of-the-art,
high-performance, IEEE-compliant network solution. It includes powerful management features
that you can use to eliminate bottlenecks, boost performance, and increase productivity.
This guide describes hardware installation and basic troubleshooting for the following NETGEAR
switches:
• ProSafe 24-port Gigabit L2+ Managed Stackable Switch with PoE GSM7228PS
• ProSafe 48-port Gigabit L2+ Managed Stackable Switch with PoE GSM7252PS
• ProSafe 24-port Gigabit L3 Managed Stackable Switch GSM7328S
• ProSafe 48-port Gigabit L3 Managed Stackable Switch GSM7352S
These switches can be free-standing, or rack-mounted in a wiring closet or an equipment room.
For information about features for each product, see the NETGEAR website at
