Step 2: Install the Switch

The NETGEAR Smart Switch can be installed on a flat surface or in a standard 19-inch rack.

Install the Switch on a Flat Surface

The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads. Stick one rubber footpad on each of
the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch. The rubber footpads cushion the switch
against shock/vibrations.

Install the Switch in a Rack

To install the switch in a rack, use the following procedure (and see
page 19). To perform this procedure, the 17-inch rack-mount kit supplied with switch is
required.
1. Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the side of the switch.
2. Insert the screws provided in the rack-mount kit through each bracket and into the bracket
mounting holes in the switch.
3. Tighten the screws with a #1 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket.
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.
