8-Port, 12-Port, and 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch
Overview
The switch provides eight, twelve, or sixteen 100/1000/10GBASE-T RJ-45 copper ports
that support nonstop 100M/1G/10G Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks. 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. 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 Smart Control Center program
for very basic setup. To download Smart Control Center Utility, you can visit
netgear.com/support, enter Smart Control Center in the search box, and click the
Downloads button. For more information, see the user manual, which you can download
from the same link.
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.

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.
Any device that is located outdoors and connected to this product must be properly
grounded and surge protected.
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 system documentation.
Some devices should never be opened.
-
If applicable to your device, 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:
- Depending on your device, 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.
Hardware Installation Guide8Introduction
8-Port, 12-Port, and 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch
- 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.
•
If applicable to your device, 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, if your device 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 device, use only a supplied power adapter or approved power
•
cable:
If your device uses a power adapter:
-
If you were not provided with a power adapter, contact your local NETGEAR
reseller.
-
The power adapter must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current
marked on the product electrical ratings label.
If your device 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.
Hardware Installation Guide9Introduction
8-Port, 12-Port, and 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch
-
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.
If applicable to your device, 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.
