To check the package contents:
1. Place the container on a clean flat surface, and cut all straps securing the container.
2. Unpack the hardware from the boxes by carefully removing the hardware and placing
it on a secure and clean surface.
3. Remove all packing material.
4. Verify that the package contains the items that are shown in the previous figure and
listed in the previous table.
5. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your local NETGEAR reseller for
replacement.
Step 4: Install the switch
You can install the switch on a flat surface or attach it to a wall.
You can also use any off-the-shelf 2.95 in. (75 mm) VESA standard mount to secure the
switch to a wall, a pole, or another surface.
Install the switch on a flat surface
The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads.
To install the switch on a flat surface:
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 and vibrations. They also
provide ventilation space between stacked switches.
Wall-mount the switch horizontally
The bottom panel of the switch provides two VESA mount holes at an exact distance of
2.95 in. (75 mm), center-to-center, so that you can mount the switch horizontally to a
wall. The switch ships with wall-mount screws and anchors that you can secure to a wall
and attach the switch to.
To mount the switch horizontally to a wall:
1. Locate the two VESA mount holes on the bottom panel of the switch.
2. Mark the holes on the wall where you want to mount the switch.
The holes must be 2.95 in. (75 mm) apart, center-to-center.
3. Drill holes into the wall for four anchors in which you will insert M4 x L25 mm screws.
