Front and Back Panels
Figures 2-1 and 2-2 show the key components on the front and back panels of the NETGEAR Model
FSM7326P Managed Power over Ethernet Switch.
The front panel contains LEDs, RJ-45 jacks, SFP module bays, and a console port. The back panel has a
standard AC power receptacle for accommodating the supplied power cord and a connector for a
redundant power supply.

10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ports

As Figures 2-1 and 2-2 show, the FSM7326P Managed Power over Ethernet Switch has 24 10/100 Mbps
RJ-45 ports. These ports are auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps ports. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port,
the switch automatically determines the maximum speed (10 or 100 Mbps) and duplex mode (half- or full-
duplex) of the attached device.
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink. This technology lets
you attach devices to the RJ-45 ports using either straight-through or crossover cables. When you insert a
cable into the switch's RJ-45 port, the switch automatically:
