Introduction
This hardware installation guide is for the following NETGEAR switch models:
•8-Port Multi-Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch with two 10G Ports, Model MS510TX
•8-Port Multi-Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch with PoE+ and two 10G Ports, Model MS510TXPP
The switch provides four multispeed Gigabit Ethernet and four 1G Ethernet RJ-45 copper ports with one dedicated
10G RJ-45 copper uplink port and one dedicated SFP+ fiber uplink port that supports 10G and 1G.Two of the
four multispeed ports support 5G, 2.5G, and 1G.The other two multispeed ports support 2.5G and 1G. (The
10G RJ-45 copper uplink port also supports 5G, 2.5G and 1G.)
Model MS510TXPP supports Power over Ethernet plus (PoE+) on all four multispeed ports and four 1G ports
so that you can let the switch provide power to PoE-capable devices such as WiFi access points,VoIP phones,
and IP security cameras.Model MS510TXPP can supply up to 30W PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) to each port, with a
maximum PoE power budget of 180W across all active PoE+ ports.
This hardware installation guide complements the installation guide that came with your switch.The resource
CD that came with your switch includes software and additional documentation and support resources.
This chapter serves as an introduction to the switch and includes the following sections:
•Overview
•Features
•Safety Instructions and Warnings

Overview
The switch provides two multispeed gigabit copper ports that support 5G, 2.5G, and 1G; another two
multispeed gigabit copper ports that support 2.5G and 1G; four 1G RJ-45 copper ports;one dedicated 10G
copper uplink port (which also supports 5G, 2.5G and 1G); and one dedicated SFP+ fiber uplink port that
supports 10G and 1G. All copper ports use RJ-45 connectors.
The SFP+ port requires a standard small form-factor pluggable (SFP) gigabit interface converter (GBIC,
also referred to as a transceiver module), which is sold separately from the switch.The switch integrates
78 Gbps full-duplex, nonblocking switch fabric for high-performance workgroups.
The PoE model supports PoE+ on all copper ports (except for the 10G uplink port) with a maximum PoE
power budget of 180W across all active PoE+ ports.
For information about application examples, see Applications on page 18.Note
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 managementVLAN,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 and is included on the resource CD.If you do not use aWindows-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 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, which 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. All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed, which
makes the switch very suitable for a mixed environment with multispeed Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet,
and Fast Ethernet.
Forspeeds of10Gbps andhigherspeeds,use Category 6(Cat 6) cablesterminated with RJ-45connectors;
for speeds from 5 Gbps to 10 Gbps, use Cat 5e cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors; and for speeds
from 10 Mbps to 5 Gbps, including 2.5 Gbps, use Cat 5e or higher-rated Ethernet cables terminated with
RJ-45 connectors.
Features
The switch supports the following key hardware features:
•Two 5G Ethernet ports (which also support 2.5G and 1G).
•Two 2.5G Ethernet ports (which also support 1G).
•Four 1G Ethernet ports.
•1 dedicated 10G Ethernet uplink port (which also supports 5G, 2.5G and 1G).
•1 dedicated SFP+ fiber uplink port capable of 10G.(The port also supports 1G.)
•1 USB port for configuration and firmware backup and upgrade.
