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 No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the mounting brackets to the rack.

Place 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.

Optional Step 5: Install SFP Transceiver Modules

The following optional procedure describes how to install an optional SFP transceiver module into one of
the SFP ports of the switch.

Contact your NETGEAR sales office to purchase these modules. If you do not want
to install an SFP module, skip this procedure.
