combo ports
The switch supports 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps
connections. Using Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps), the switch sends
files across the network at speeds up of to 2000 Mbps due to the full-
duplex nature of Gigabit Ethernet connections. You can either
connect 24 Ethernet copper cables or 22 copper cables with 2 optical
fibers.
The switch supports straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables on
24 ports. Each of these ports configures itself based on the cable that
you plug into it. You can use the switch to connect Ethernet devices
such as computers, file servers, printers, routers, switches, or hubs.

Select a Location
Decide where you want to place the switch. Find a flat horizontal
surface or a 19-inch rack.
Make sure that the location is:
•Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent.
•Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5
cm) of clear space on all sides of the switch.
•Well ventilated, especially if it is in a closet.
Install the Switch
1. For each device that you want to connect to the switch, provide
an enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e) Ethernet cable with RJ-45
connections. Each Ethernet cable has to be less than 328 feet
(100 meters) long.
2. Install the switch on a flat surface or in a standard 19-inch rack.
•Flat surface. The switch comes with four self-adhesive
footpads. Stick one footpad on each of the four concave
spaces on the bottom of the switch. The footpads cushion the
switch against shock and vibrations.
•Rack mounting. Follow the instructions in the 19-Inch Rack
Mounting section.
Verify Cable Connections
Before you apply power, perform the following checks:
1. Inspect the equipment thoroughly.
2. Verify that all cables are installed correctly.
3. Check cable routing to ensure that cables are not damaged and will
not create a safety hazard.
4. Be sure that all equipment is mounted securely.

19-Inch Rack Mounting
Use the rack-mount kit supplied with your switch.
1. Use the Phillips head screws to fasten the mounting brackets to
the sides of the switch. Tighten the screws with a No. 1 Phillips
screwdriver.
2. Align the bracket and rack holes. Use two pan-head screws with
nylon washers to fasten each bracket to the rack. Tighten the
screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the switch in the
rack.

Optical Modules (Sold Separately)
You can use compatible optical modules such as the NETGEAR
ProSafe GBIC SFP Modules AGM731F and AGM732F with your
switch. These modules provide full-duplex 1000 Mbps Ethernet
operation in each direction for NETGEAR switches.
AGM731F or AGM732F
The switch automatically detects the module, so you can simply plug
it into an available module slot. Plugging in an SFP module disables
the associated RJ-45 port. The modules can be inserted or removed
while the switch is operational.
Class 1 laser product.
Class 1 LED product.
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the
aperture of the port when no fiber cable is connected, avoid
exposure to laser radiation, and do not stare into open
apertures.

Remove an Optical Module
Release the module latch by pulling down the handle bar across the
module, and pull the module out of the module slot.

Troubleshooting
You can use the LEDs to troubleshoot hardware problems.
Power LED Is Off
The switch has no power.
•Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to the
switch.
•Make sure that the power cord is connected to a functioning
power outlet. If it is connected to a power strip, make sure that
the power strip is turned on. If the socket is controlled by a light
switch, make sure the switch is in the on position.
Port LEDs
If a port LED is off for a connected device or the LED stays on
continuousl,y there is a hardware connection problem.
•Make sure that the cable connectors are securely plugged in to
the switch and the device.
•Make sure that the connected device is turned on.
•If the Ethernet cable is connected to a network interface card or
other Ethernet adapter, make sure that the card or adapter is
installed correctly and is working.
•Make sure that the cable is less than 328 feet (100 meters) long.
