Installing the Switch, Checking the Installation

Step 2: Installing the Switch

You can install your NETGEAR Model FSM7352S Layer 3 Managed Stackable Fast Ethernet Switch on a flat surface or in a standard 19-inch rack.

Installing 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. The rubber footpads cushion the switch against shock/vibrations.

Installing the Switch in a Rack

To install the switch in a rack, use the following procedure (and refer to Figure 3-1). To perform this procedure, you need the 19-inch rack-mount kit supplied with your switch.

1.Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the side of the switch.

2.Insert the screws provided in the rack-mount kit through each bracket and into the bracket mounting holes in the switch.

3.Tighten the screws with a #1 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket.

4.Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in the rack, and insert two pan-head screws with nylon washers through each bracket and into the rack.

5.Tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the switch in the rack.

Step 3: Checking the Installation

Before you apply power:

oInspect the equipment thoroughly.

oVerify that all cables are installed correctly.

oCheck cable routing to make sure cables are not damaged or create a safety hazard. o Be sure all equipment is mounted properly and securely.

Step 4: Applying AC Power

NETGEAR Model FSM7352S Layer 3 Managed Stackable Fast Ethernet Switch does not have an ON/OFF switch; the only method of applying or removing AC power is by connecting or disconnecting the power cord. Before you connect the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch. After you select an appropriate outlet, use the following procedure to apply AC power.
