S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch

Introduction

This hardware installation guide is for the following NETGEAR switches:

•S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch (GS308T)

This model provides eight Gigabit RJ-45 copper ports.

•S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch with 2 SFP

Ports (GS310TP)

This model provides eight Gigabit PoE+ RJ-45 copper ports and two dedicated SFP

fiber ports. Power over Ethernet (PoE) lets you provide power to PoE-capable devices

such as WiFi access points, VoIP phones, and IP security cameras so that you do not

need to use power supplies for those devices. The switch can supply up to 30W

PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) to each copper port, with a maximum PoE power budget of

55W across all active PoE+ copper ports.

This hardware installation guide complements the installation guide that came with your

switch.

This chapter serves as an introduction to the switch and includes the following sections:

• Overview

• Features

• Safety Instructions and Warnings

Note: For more information about the topics that are covered in this manual, visit the

support website at netgear.com/support/.

Note: For technical specifications, see the data sheet at

netgear.com/business/products/switches/smart/. For switch documentation, visit

netgear.com/support/download/.

Overview

The switch provides eight 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 copper ports that support nonstop

10/100/1000M Layer 2 networks. For model GS310TP, all RJ-45 ports support PoE+.

Also for model GS310TP, two additional ports can accept small form-factor pluggable

(SFP) gigabit interface converters (GBICs) for 1G fiber connectivity.

Note: For information about application samples, see Applications on page 18.

The switch provides administrative management options that let you configure, monitor,

and control the network. Using the local browser–based management interface, in this

guide referred to as the local 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.

For initial discovery of the switch on the network, use one of the following methods, all

of which are described in detail in the user manual:

•NETGEAR Insight mobile app

•NETGEAR Smart Control Center Utility

•NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool

You can also 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 local 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 netgear.com/support/download/.

The switch is designed for freestanding desktop use. The switch is IEEE compliant and

offers low latency. All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed, which

makes the switch very suitable for a mixed environment with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit

Ethernet.

Use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher-rated Ethernet cables terminated with RJ-45

connectors to make Gigabit connections.

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.

Hardware Installation Guide8Introduction

S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch

•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.

- 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.

Hardware Installation Guide9Introduction

S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch

-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.

-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.
