1. Connect the female end of the supplied AC power adapter cable to the power receptacle on the back of
the switch.
2. Connect the 3-pronged end of the AC power adapter cable to a grounded 3-pronged AC outlet.
When you apply power, the Power LED on the switch's front panel will be Amber as it conducts a Power
On Self Test (POST). After the switch passes the POST, the Power LED will change to Green and the
switch is functional and ready to pass data.
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 Appendix B, Troubleshooting.

Step 5: Connecting Devices to the Switch

The following procedure describes how to connect devices to the switch's network RJ-45 ports. Your
NETGEAR Model FSM7326P Managed Power over Ethernet Switch contains Auto Uplink™ technology,
which allows you to attach devices using either straight-through or crossover cables.

Figure 3-2. Connecting Devices to the Switch

Connect each device to an RJ-45 network port on the switch's front panel as shown in the figure above.
Use Category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector to make
these connections.
Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the attached device to 100 m
(328 ft)
The 24 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports of your NETGEAR Model FSM7326P Managed Power over Ethernet
Switch is capable of providing up to 15 watts of DC power to IEEE 802.3af compliant powered devices,
thus eliminating the need to use an external power adapter to power them. This process is fully automatic.
When you plug a IEEE 802.3af compliant powered device into an RJ45 port, the NETGEAR Model
FSM7326P Managed Power over Ethernet Switch will automatically detect the its presence and thereby
begin to feed power to it. If the network device does not support PoE, no power will be provided, and the
attached device will not be damaged in any way.

Step 6: Installing an SFP Module

The following procedure describes how to install an SFP Gigabit Ethernet module in the switch's Gigabit
module bays. The Standard SFP Module is sold separately from the FSM7326P. If you do not want to
install an SFP module at this time, skip this procedure.
