GS716T, GS724T and GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch Step 1: Prepare the Site Before you install the switch, ensure the operating environment meets the operating environment requirements in the following table. Table 4. Site Requirements Characteristics Requirements Mounting • Desktop installations - Provide a flat table or shelf surface.
GS716T, GS724T and GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch Step 2: Install the Switch The NETGEAR GS716T,GS724T,GS748T Series Smart Switch can be installed on a flat surface or in a standard 19-inch rack. Install the Switch on a Flat Surface The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads. Stick one rubber footpad on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch.
GS716T, GS724T and GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch Step 3: Check the Installation Before applying power perform the following: • Inspect the equipment thoroughly. • Verify that all cables are installed correctly. • Check cable routing to make sure cables are not damaged or creating a safety hazard.
Step 4: Connect Devices to the Switch The following procedure describes how to connect computers to the switch’s RJ-45 ports. The NETGEAR GS716T,GS724T,GS748T Series Smart Switch contains Auto Uplink™ technology, which allows the attaching of devices using either straight-through or crossover cables.
GS716T, GS724T and GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch Step 5: Install an SFP GBIC Module The following procedure describes how to install an SFP Gigabit Ethernet module in the switch’s Gigabit module bay. Standard SFP GBIC modules are sold separately from the Smart Switch.
GS716T, GS724T and GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch Step 6: Apply AC Power NETGEAR GS716T,GS724T,GS748T Series Smart Switch does not have an ON/OFF switch. The method of applying or removing AC power is by connecting or disconnecting the power cord. Before connecting the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch.
