Characteristics	Requirements
Power source	Provide a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the installation location. Power
	specifications for the switch are shown in Appendix A Appendix A “Troubleshooting”.
	Ensure 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 - 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 the switch is installed.

	source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.

Step 2: Installing the Switch

The NETGEAR Smart Switch can be installed 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.

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.
