Chapter 1 Introduction - NETGEAR GS728TPv2 Hardware Installation Manual

Introduction
This hardware installation guide is for the following NETGEAR Smart Managed Pro Switches:
• 24-Port Gigabit PoE+ Smart Managed Pro Switch with 4 SFP Ports, Model GS728TPv2
• 24-Port Gigabit PoE+ Smart Managed Pro Switch with 4 SFP Ports, Model GS728TPPv2
• 48-Port Gigabit PoE+ Smart Managed Pro Switch with 4 SFP Ports, Model GS752TPv2
• 48-Port Gigabit PoE+ Smart Managed Pro Switch with 4 SFP Ports, Model GS752TPP
The switch provides twenty-four or forty-eight Gigabit RJ-45 copper PoE+ ports with four dedicated SFP ports.
Power over Ethernet plus (PoE+) lets you provide power to PoE-capable devices such as WiFi access points,
VoIP phones, and IP security cameras so that you do not need to use power supplies for those devices. The
maximum PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) power that the switch can provide across all active PoE+ ports depends on the
model: 190W for model GS728TPv2, 380W for models GS728TPPv2 and GS752TPv2, and 760W for model
GS752TPP.
This hardware installation guide complements the installation guide that came with your switch. The resource
CD that came with your switch includes software and additional documentation and support resources.
This chapter serves as an introduction to the switch and includes the following sections:
• Overview

• Safety Instructions and Warnings
