Introduction

This hardware installation guide is for the following NETGEAR Insight Managed switch models:

• 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Insight Managed Smart Cloud Switch with 2 SFP Fiber Ports, Model GC110

• 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE Insight Managed Smart Cloud Switch with 2 SFP Fiber Ports, Model GC110P

The switch provides eight Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 copper ports and two dedicated Gigabit SFP fiber ports. Model GC110P supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) on all eight RJ-45 copper ports so that you can let the

switch provide pow er to PoE-capab le devices such as WiFi access points, V oIP phones , and IP security cameras. Model GC110P can supply up to 15.4W PoE (IEEE 802.3af) to each port, with a maximum PoE power budget of 62W across all active PoE ports.

This hardware installation guide complements the installation guide that came with your switch. The chapter serves as an introduction to the switch and includes the following sections:

• Overview

• Features

• Safety Instructions and Warnings

Insight Managed 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Cloud Switch with 2 SFP Fiber Ports

Overview

The switch provides eight Gigabit Ethernet copper ports and two dedicated Gigabit SFP fiber ports. All copper ports use RJ-45 connectors.The SFP ports require a standard small form-factor pluggable (SFP) gigabit interface conv erter (GBIC, also ref erred to as transceiv er module), which is sold separ ately from the switch.The switch integ rates full-duplex, nonb locking s witch fabric that provides full-wire speed f or all packet sizes.

The PoE model supports PoE on all copper ports with a maximum PoE power budget of 62W across all active PoE ports.

For information about application examples, see Applications on page 16.Note

The switch provides management options that let you discover the switch on the network and configure, monitor, and control the switch:

• NETGEAR Insight app. Using the NETGEAR Insight app, you can discover the switch on the network

and add the switch to the NETGEAR Insight app so that you can perform basic management and monitoring tasks from your smartphone.You can choose from four methods to add the switch to the NETGEAR Insight app:You can scan the serial number bar code of the switch, add the switch from the Day Zero window, add the switch from the Network window, or add the switch from the Device List window. For more information, see the NETGEAR knowledge base articles at support.netgear.com.

• Local browser–based management interface. Using the local browser–based management interface ,

in this guide referred to as the local browser interface, you can perform very advanced configurations and, if needed, debugging. For more information, see the user manual, which you can download from

downloadcenter.netgear.com.

The switch is designed to be managed using the NETGEAR Insight app. By default,

Note

the local browser interface is disabled and you cannot use it to manage the switch while the NETGEAR Insight app is enabled to manage the switch.

You can install the switch freestanding (on a desktop) or wall-mounted, using the VESA-standard mounting holes and supplied wall-mount kit.The switch is IEEE compliant and offers low latency. All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed, which makes the switch v ery suitable for a mix ed en vironment with Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet.

For Gigabit Ethernet connections, use Category 5 (Cat 5) or higher-rated Ethernet cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

Safety Instructions and Warnings

Use the following saf ety guidelines to ensure your o wn personal safety and to help protect y our system from potential damage.

To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment, observe the f ollowing precautions:

• This product is designed for indoor use only in a temperature-controlled (0–50°C) and humidity-controlled

(90 percent maximum relative humidity, noncondensing) environment. Any device that is located outdoors and connected to this product must be properly grounded and surge protected. To the extent permissible by applicable law, failure to follow these guidelines can result in damage to your NETGEAR product, which might not be covered by NETGEAR’s warranty.

• Observe and follow service markings:

- Do not service any product except as explained in your system documentation.

- 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.

Introduction

Insight Managed 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Cloud Switch with 2 SFP Fiber Ports

• If any of the following conditions occur , unplug the product from the electrical outlet and replace the part

or contact your trained service provider:

- The 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.

• 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, be sure that the voltage selection switch (if provided) on the power

supply 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 a vailable in your location.

• Use only the supplied DC power adapter. If you were not provided with a DC power adapter, contact

your reseller.

• 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 cab le. If you must use an extension cable , use a three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.

• Observe extension cable and pow er 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.
