Introduction
The NETGEAR Smart Managed Plus Click Switches use the 1-2-3-4 Click Mounting
system, which lets you easily mount the switch vertically or horizontally on a wall, pole,
or table leg. The internal power supply allows for a simple power cord from the switch
to an outlet. The switches are fanless for silent operation and you can turn off the LEDs
to minimize distractions.
This hardware installation guide is for the following switch models:
• GSS108E. 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Click Switch.
• GSS116E. 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Click Switch.
• GSS108EPP. 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Click Switch with
4-Port PoE+.
This hardware installation guide complements the installation guide that came with your
switch.

• Overview
