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. 

Installing the Switch in a Rack

To install the switch in a rack, use the following procedure (and refer to 

Figure 2-1

). To perform 

this procedure, you need the 19-inch rack-mount kit supplied with 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. 

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.

Operating conditions

 - Keep the switch at least 6 ft. (1.83 m) away from nearest 

source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.
