CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION

This chapter describes the installation procedures for your NETGEAR Model FSM7352S Layer 3 Managed Stackable Fast Ethernet Switch. Switch installation involves the following steps:

Step 1: Preparing the site

Step 2: Installing the switch

Step 3: Checking the installation

Step 4: Applying AC power

Step 5: Connecting devices to the switch

Step 6: Installing a SFP module

Step 7: Connecting to the console port to manage the switch for initial configuration

Step 1: Preparing the Site

Before you install your switch, be sure your operating environment meets the operating environment requirements in Table 3-1.

Table 3-1. Site Requirements

Characteristics	Requirements
Mounting
Desktop installations:	Provide a flat table or shelf surface.
Rack-mount	Use a 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack that is grounded
installations:	and physically secure. You also need the rack-mount kit supplied with your
	switch.
Access	Locate the switch in a position that lets you access the front panel RJ-45 ports,
	view the front panel LEDs, and access the rear-panel power connector.
Power source	Provide a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the installation location.
	Power specifications for the switch is shown in Appendix C. Be sure the AC
	outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally turn off power
	to the outlet and the switch.
Environmental
Temperature:	Install the switch in a dry area, with ambient temperature between 0 and 40ºC
	(32 and 104ºF). Keep the switch away from heat sources such as direct
	sunlight, warm air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters.
Operating humidity:	The installation location should have a maximum relative humidity of 90%,
	non-condensing.

Ventilation:

Operating conditions:

Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing air inlets on the sides of the switch. Keep at least 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) free on all sides for cooling. Be sure there is adequate airflow in the room or wiring closet where you intend to install the switch.

Keep the switch at least 6 ft (1.83 m) away from nearest source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.
