Chapter 1 Introduction - NETGEAR MS510TX Hardware Installation Manual

Introduction
This hardware installation guide is for the following NETGEAR switch models:
• 8-Port Multi-Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch with two 10G Ports, Model MS510TX
• 8-Port Multi-Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch with PoE+ and two 10G Ports, Model MS510TXPP
The switch provides four multispeed Gigabit Ethernet and four 1G Ethernet RJ-45 copper ports with one dedicated
10G RJ-45 copper uplink port and one dedicated SFP+ fiber uplink port that supports 10G and 1G. Two of the
four multispeed ports support 5G, 2.5G, and 1G. The other two multispeed ports support 2.5G and 1G. (The
10G RJ-45 copper uplink port also supports 5G, 2.5G and 1G.)
Model MS510TXPP supports Power over Ethernet plus (PoE+) on all four multispeed ports and four 1G ports
so that you can let the switch provide power to PoE-capable devices such as WiFi access points, VoIP phones,
and IP security cameras. Model MS510TXPP can supply up to 30W PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) to each port, with a
maximum PoE power budget of 180W across all active PoE+ ports.
This hardware installation guide complements the installation guide that came with your switch. The resource
