4. Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in the rack, and insert two pan-head screws with nylon washers through each bracket
and into the rack.
5. Tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the switch in the rack.
6. If you want to install a GBIC module, proceed to "Step 3: Installing a GBIC Module," next. Step 4: Checking the Installation."

Step 3: Installing a GBIC Module

The following procedure describes how to install a GBIC Gigabit Ethernet module, such as the NETGEAR AGM721F, in the switch's Gigabit
module bays. The AGM721F is sold separately from the GSM712. If you do not want to install a GBIC module at this time, skip this procedure.
To install a GBIC module:
7. Insert the GBIC module into the GBIC module bay. Press firmly to ensure the module seats into the connector.

Step 4: Checking the Installation

Before you apply power:
Inspect the equipment thoroughly.
o
Verify that all cables are installed correctly.
o
Check cable routing to make sure cables are not damaged or create a safety hazard.
o
Be sure all equipment is mounted properly and securely.

Step 5: Applying AC Power

NETGEAR Model GSM712 Managed Gigabit Switches do not have an ON/OFF switch; the only method of applying or removing AC power is by
connecting or disconnecting the power cord. Before you connect the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which
can turn off power to the switch. After you select an appropriate outlet, use the following procedure to apply AC power.
8. Connect the female end of the supplied AC power adapter cable to the power receptacle on the back of the switch.
9. Connect the 3-pronged end of the AC power adapter cable to a grounded 3-pronged AC outlet.
When you apply power, the Power LED on the switch's front panel will be Yellow, as it conducts a Power On Self Test (POST). After the switch
passes the POST, the Power LED will change to Green and the switch is functional and ready to pass data.
