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.
