These models provide eight, twelve, or sixteen 100/1000/10GBASE-T RJ-45 copper ports, two of which are
combo ports that can accept SFP+ 1G and 10G copper or fiber optical modules.
In this hardware installation guide, except where indicated otherwise , these models are referred to as the s witch.
This hardware installation guide complements the installation guide that came with the switch.
The chapter includes the following sections:
• Overview
• Features
• Safety Instructions and Warnings

8-Port, 12-Port, and 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch
Overview
The switch provides eight, twelv e, or sixteen 100/1000/10GBASE-T RJ-45 copper ports that support nonstop
100M/1G/10G Layer 2 and La yer 3 netw orks.Two of these ports are combo ports that can accept enhanced
small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) 1G and 10G copper and fiber optical modules, or Direct Attach Cables
(DAC) for short-distance inter-switch connections.
Using the 10G ports, you can create high-speed connections to a server, network attached storage (NAS)
system, or backbone network. For example, you can do the following:
• Connect switches to each other with high-speed links
• Link to high-speed servers
• Provide 100M/1G/10G copper and 1G and 10G fiber connectivity
The switch provides administrative management options that let you configure, monitor, and control the
network. Using the web management interface, you can configure the switch and the network, including the
ports, the management VLAN, 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 a Windows-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 for high-speed networking. All ports can automatically negotiate
to the highest speed, which makes the switch very suitable for a mixed environment with Fast Ethernet,
Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet devices.
Use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher rated Ethernet cables (Cat 6, Cat 6a, or Cat 7) to make 10G connections.
For 10G speeds, if the cable distance is greater than 148 feet (45 meters), we recommend that you use a
Cat 6a cable or higher rated cable.
Features
The following list describes the key features of the switches:
• Eight (model XS708T), twelve (model XS712Tv2), or sixteen (model XS716T) 100/1000/10GBASE-T
switching ports, two of which are combo ports that can accept SFP+ 1G and 10G copper and fiber optical
modules.

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

To the extend 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.
• 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 approved power cables. 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
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.
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site
modifications.
• Always follow your local and national wiring rules.
