– 115 volts (V), 60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern
countries such as South Korea and Taiwan
– 100 V, 50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V, 60 Hz in western Japan
– 230 V, 50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
• Also, be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in
your location.
• Use only approved power cables. If you have not been provided with a power cable for your
system or for any AC powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable that is
approved for use in your country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the
voltage and current marked on the product's electrical ratings label. The voltage and current
rating of the cable should 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.
• 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 and power cables carefully; route cables so that they cannot be stepped
on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.

Checking the Installation
Before you apply power, perform the following checks:
1. Inspect the equipment thoroughly.
2. Verify that all cables are installed correctly.
3. Check cable routing to ensure that cables are not damaged and will not create a safety hazard.
4. Be sure that all equipment is mounted properly and securely.
Connecting to Power and Checking the LEDs
The switch does not have an On/Off switch. The only way to apply or remove power is to connect
or disconnect the power cord. Before you connect the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not
controlled by a wall switch (which can turn off power to the switch).
After you select an appropriate outlet, follow these steps to apply AC power:
1. Connect one end of the AC power adapter cable to the rear of the switch, and the other end to
a grounded three-pronged AC outlet.
2. Check the Power LED on the front panel of the switch. The LED should light up in the
following sequence:
• The LED turns yellow as the switch runs a power-on self-test (POST).
• If the switch passes the test, the LED turns green and the switch is working and ready to
pass data.
• If the POST fails, the Power LED blinks yellow.
If the Power LED does not light up, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and that
the power source is good. For help with troubleshooting, see

Additional Troubleshooting Suggestions
If the suggestions in Table 3-1 do not resolve your problem, refer to the troubleshooting
suggestions in this section.
• Network Adapter Cards
Make sure that the network adapter cards installed in the PCs are in working condition and the
software driver has been installed.
• Configuration
If problems occur after you change the network configuration, restore the original
connections. Then find the problem by making the changes, one step at a time. Make sure that
cable distances, repeater limits, and other physical aspects of the installation do not exceed the
Ethernet limitations.
• Switch Integrity
You can verify the integrity of the switch by resetting the switch. To reset the switch, use the
Tools> Reset command or remove AC power from the switch and then reapply AC power. If
the problem continues, contact NETGEAR technical support. See the Support Information
Card that shipped with your product.
• Auto-Negotiation
The 10/100/1000 Mbps ports negotiate the correct duplex mode and speed if the device at the
other end of the link supports auto-negotiation. If the device does not support auto-negotiation,
the switch only determines the speed correctly and the duplex mode defaults to half-duplex.
The gigabit port on the gigabit module negotiates speed, duplex mode, and flow control, provided
that the attached device supports auto-negotiation.
