Hardware Installation Guide6Introduction
AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series
Special models:
•
- M4250-12M2XF: LED tiles model with 2.5 Gbps ports. Twelve 2.5GBASE-T RJ-45
ports and two 10G SFP+ fiber uplink ports.
-
M4250-16XF: Aggregation model with multiple 10G SFP+ fiber ports. Sixteen
1G/10G SFP+ fiber ports.
The switch lets you create high-speed connections to a server or network backbone.
For example, you can do the following:
Connect switches to each other with high-speed links
•
Link to high-speed servers
•
Provide 10M/100M/1G/2.5G copper and 1G/10G fiber connectivity
•
You would typically rack-mount the switch in a wiring closet or equipment room as a
standalone switch. The switch is IEEE compliant and offers low latency for high-speed
networking. All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed, which makes
the switch also suitable for AV environments with a mix of 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps Ethernet
devices and 1G and 10G fiber connections. With the exception of the ports on model
M4250-12M2X, the copper ports that support 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps ports can operate
in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. For 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps connections, the copper
ports always operate in full-duplex mode.
Features
The switch supports the following key hardware features:
PoE+ and PoE++ models with switch ports in various configurations depending on
•
the model:
- 8, 24, or 40 PoE+ or PoE++ ports, depending on the model
-
Up to four 1GBASE-T RJ-45 ports (also supporting 10M and 100M speeds),
depending on the model
-
Up to eight 1G SFP or 10G SFP+ fiber uplink ports, depending of the model
-
PoE budget from 125W to 2880W, depending on the model

Safety instructions and warnings
Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help
protect your system from potential damage.
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment,
observe the following precautions:
This product is designed for indoor use only in a temperature-controlled and
•
humidity-controlled environment. For more information, see the environmental
specifications in the appendix or the data sheet.
Note the following:
-
If you want to connect the switch to a device located outdoors, the outdoor device
must be properly grounded and surge protected, and you must install an Ethernet
surge protector inline between the switch and the outdoor device. Failure to do
so can damage the switch.
-
Before connecting this switch to outdoor cables or devices, see
https://kb.netgear.com/000057103 for safety and warranty information.
-
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in damage to your NETGEAR product,
which might not be covered by NETGEAR’s warranty, to the extent permissible
by applicable law.
Observe and follow service markings:
•
- Do not service any product except as explained in your product documentation.
Some devices should never be opened.
-
If applicable to your product, 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.
Hardware Installation Guide9Introduction
AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series
If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the power outlet
•
and replace the part or contact your trained service provider:
- Depending on your product, the power adapter, power adapter cable, 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 product away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling
•
vents.
Do not spill food or liquids on your product components, and never operate the
•
product in a wet environment. If the product 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 products. Doing so can cause
•
fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
Use the product only with approved equipment.
•
If applicable to your product, 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 product, if your product uses a power supply with a voltage
•
selector, be sure that the selector 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 available
•
in your location.
Depending on your product, use only a supplied power adapter or approved power
•
cable:
If your product uses a power adapter:
-
If you were not provided with a power adapter, contact your local NETGEAR
reseller.
Hardware Installation Guide10Introduction
AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series
-
The power adapter must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current
marked on the product electrical ratings label.
If your product uses a power cable:
-
If you were not provided with a power cable for your system or for any
AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable approved
for your country.
-
The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current
marked on the product electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of
the cable must be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
To help prevent electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power cables into
•
properly grounded power outlets.
If applicable to your product, 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, power adapter cables, or power cables carefully. Route
•
cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests
on any cables.
Do not modify power adapters, power adapter cables, power cables or plugs. Consult
•
a licensed electrician or your power company for site modifications.
Always follow your local and national wiring rules.
