Hardware Installation

15

NETGEAR Managed Switch

Connect to Power and Check 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 3-pronged AC outlet.

Note: The GSM5212P can get power from PSE if AC power is not

available. Just connect port 1 of the switch to a PSE (Power
Sourcing Equipment) switch. The PSE device should support
IEEE802.1at so that it can provide full power to GSM5212P for
system operation. If the PSE device used does not support
IEEE802.1at, the GSM5212P may not operate correctly. GSM7224P
and GSM7212P switches support IEEE 802.1at on all ports.

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. The switch is working and ready to

pass data.

• If the POST fails, the Power LED blinks yellow.

Note: If the PD LED on the front panel of GSM5212P blinks yellow, port 1

is connected to a IEEE802.1af PoE device. Check the PoE device
specification to make sure it supports IEEE802.1at.

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

“Troubleshooting.”

Chapter 3.3,

NETGEAR Managed Switch

Additional Troubleshooting Suggestions

If the suggestions in See Table 3 on page -20.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.

Auto-Negotiation:
The copper 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 fiber gigabit ports negotiate speed, duplex mode, and flow control, provided that
the attached device supports auto-negotiation.
