Step 4: Install The Switch On A Flat Surface; Optional Step 5: Install Sfp Transceiver Modules (Model Gs310Tp); Step 6: Connect Devices To The Switch - NETGEAR S350 Series Hardware Installation Manual

S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch

Step 4: Install the switch on a flat surface

Install the switch on a flat surface. The rubber footpads cushion the switch against shock
and vibrations. They also provide ventilation space.
Optional Step 5: Install SFP transceiver
modules (model GS310TP)
The following optional procedure describes how to install an optional SFP transceiver
module into one of the SFP ports of model GS310TP. For information about SFP
transceiver modules, see Model GS310TP: SFP ports for fiber connectivity on page 15.
Note: Contact your NETGEAR sales office to purchase these modules. If you do not
want to install an SFP module, skip this procedure.
To install an SFP transceiver module:
1. Insert the transceiver into the SFP port.
Use port 9F or port 10F. (You install an SFP transceiver module in each port.)
2. Press firmly on the flange of the module to seat it securely into the connector.

Step 6: Connect devices to the switch

The following procedure describes how to connect devices to the switch's RJ-45 ports.
The switch supports Auto Uplink technology, which allows you to attach devices using
either straight-through or crossover cables. Use a Category 5 (Cat 5), Cat 5e, or Cat 6
cable that is terminated with an RJ-45 connector.
Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the attached
device to 328 feet (100 meters).
To connect devices to the switch's RJ-45 ports:
1. Connect a device to an RJ-45 network port on the switch.
Model GS308T supports non-PoE devices. Model GS310TP supports both PoE and
non-PoE devices.
2. Verify that all cables are installed correctly.
