GS108T Hardware Installation Guide

Step 5: Applying Power

The GS108T Smart Switch does not have an ON/OFF switch. You can apply or remove power by:
• Connecting or disconnecting the power adapter to or from an AC power source
• Connecting or disconnecting Port 1 to or from a PoE power source.
Note: When both an external AC power source and a PoE power source are connected to
the GS108T switch, the external AC power source takes priority.

Using an AC Power Source

Before connecting the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch,
which can turn off power to the switch. After selecting an appropriate outlet, use the following
procedure to apply AC power.
1. Connect the end of the supplied IEC AC power adapter cable to the power receptacle on the
back of the switch.
2. Connect the AC power adapter cable into a power source such as a wall socket or power strip.
When applying power, the Power LED on the switch's front panel illuminates.
If the Power LED does not go on, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and that the
power source is good. If this does not resolve the problem, refer to

Using a PoE Power Source

The NETGEAR GS108T Smart Switch is a PoE Powered Device (PD) and can receive power
from IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). To power the GS108T
Smart Switch through PoE, use the following procedures:
1. Connect a standard Cat5 UTP cable to Port 1 (also labeled PoE-PD) on the front of the switch.
2. Connect the other end of the Cat5 cable to the appropriate port on the PoE Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE).
When applying power, the Power LED on the switch's front panel illuminates.
If the Power LED does not go on, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and that the
power source is good. If this does not resolve the problem, refer to
