Check the Installation

Before you apply power, perform the following checks: 1. Inspect the equipment thoroughly. 2. Verify that all cables are installed correctly. 3. Check cable routing to ensure that cables are not damaged and will not create a safety hazard. 4. Be sure that all equipment is mounted properly and securely.
Connect to Power and Check the LEDs
The switch does not have an ON/OFF switch. The only way to apply or remove power is to connect or disconnect 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, follow these steps to apply AC power: 1. Connect one end of the AC power adapter cable to the rear of the switch, and the other end to a grounded three-pronged AC outlet. 2. Check the Power LED on the front panel of the switch. The LED should light up in the following sequence: The LED turns yellow as the switch runs a Power-On Self-Test (POST). The switch passes the test, the LED turns green, and the switch is working and ready to pass data. If the POST fails, the Power LED blinks yellow.
If the Power LED does not light up, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and that the power source is good. For help with troubleshooting, see Chapter 4, Troubleshooting.

Connecting Equipment to the Switch
You can connect devices, an SPF Gigabit Ethernet module, and a console to the switch.

RJ-45 Ports

The switch uses Auto Uplink technology, which allows you to attach devices using either straight-through or crossover cables. Use a Category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector. Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the attached device to 328 feet (100 meters).

Gigabit Module Bay

You can install an SFP Gigabit Ethernet module in the gigabit module bays. SFP modules are sold separately. Four ports on the switch can be used for either STP (RJ-45) or SFP (fiber) cable. However, both port types cannot be used at the same time. The switch selects the first connected interface. If both connectors are plugged, the SFP interface operates normally and disables the copper interface. The SFP bay accommodates a standard SFP module with an LC connector that is compatible with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard. To install an SFP module: 1. Insert the module into the SFP module bay. Press firmly to ensure that the module seats into the connector.

Figure 3-2

2. To install more Gigabit Ethernet modules, repeat step 1. Note: After the switch has been configured for management, configure the port with the SFP module to the SFP option. See the Administration Manual for the Layer-3 Switches for information about switch and port configuration.
Connecting a Console to the Switch
After you install the switch and apply power, you can connect to it with a terminal or workstation. You can use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to identify the IP address. To use a console you need the following items: VT100/ANSI terminal, or a Windows PC, Apple Macintosh PC, or UNIX workstation. Null-modem cable with 9-pin connectors on each end (shipped with the product).
To connect a console to the switch, follow these steps: 1. Connect the null-modem cable to the console port of the switch.

Figure 3-3

2. Connect the other end of the cable to a workstation or terminal. 3. If you attached a workstation, start a terminal-emulation program. Microsoft Windows users can use HyperTerminal, which comes with the Windows operating systems. Macintosh users can use ZTerm. UNIX users can use a terminal emulator such as TIP.

ACT LED is flashing continuously on all connected ports and the network is disabled.
Additional Troubleshooting Suggestions
If the suggestions in Table 4-1 do not resolve your problem, refer to the following troubleshooting suggestions. Network Adapter Cards Make sure that the network adapter cards installed in the PCs are in working condition and the software driver has been installed. Configuration If problems occur after you change the network configuration, restore the original connections. Then find the problem by making the changes, one step at a time. Make sure that cable distances, repeater limits, and other physical aspects of the installation do not exceed the Ethernet limitations. Switch Integrity You can verify the integrity of the switch by resetting the switch. To reset the switch, use the Tools> Reset command, or remove AC power from the switch and then reapply AC power. If the problem continues, contact NETGEAR technical support. See the Support Information Card that shipped with your product.

4-2 v1.0, March 2006

Troubleshooting
Auto-Negotiation The 10/100/1000 Mbps ports negotiate the correct duplex mode and speed if the device at the other end of the link supports auto-negotiation. If the device does not support auto-negotiation, the switch only determines the speed correctly and the duplex mode defaults to half-duplex. The gigabit port on the gigabit Ethernet module negotiates speed, duplex mode, and flow control, provided that the attached device supports auto-negotiation.
