GS108T Smart Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Step 2: Applying Footpads and Wall Mounting

1. Attach one rubber foot pad into each of the four concave depressions on the base of the switch.
(The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads.)
Note: These footpads cushion the switch against shock and vibration. They also provide
for ventilation space between stacked switches.
2. To mount the switch on a wall (optional), install the two provided screws in positions that
correspond to the slots on the bottom side of the GS108T, then mount the switch.

Step 3: Checking the Installation

Before you apply power, inspect the equipment thoroughly to:
• Verify that all cables are installed correctly.
• Check that cables are not damaged and that cable routing does not interfere with equipment to
create a safety hazard.
• Ensure that all equipment is mounted properly and securely.

Step 4: Connecting Devices to the Switch

The following procedure describes how to connect devices to the switch's RJ-45 ports. Your
NETGEAR GS108T Gigabit Smart Switch contains Auto Uplink technology, which enables you
to attach devices using either straight-through or crossover cables.
