2. Connect the switch

Sample connections

This switch is designed for indoor use only. If you want to connect it to a device located outdoors, the outdoor device must be properly grounded and surge protected, and you must install an Ethernet surge protector inline between the switch and the outdoor device. Failure to do so can damage the switch.

Before connecting this switch to outdoor cables or devices, see https://kb.netgear.com/000057103 for safety and warning information.

3. Check the LEDs

When you connect the power adapter to the switch and plug it into an electrical outlet, the LEDs indicate the status.

Specifications

Mount the switch in a rack

We recommend that you use the brackets and screws that came with the switch.

  1. Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the sides of the switch.
  2. Insert the supplied small screws through each bracket and into the bracket mounting holes in the switch.
  3. Tighten the screws with a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket.
  4. Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in each rack, and insert the provided two pan-head screws (you can choose from two types of 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 mounting brackets to the rack.

Mount the switch on a wall

We recommend that you use the wall-mount screws that came with the switch.

  1. Locate the two mounting holes on the bottom panel of the switch.
  2. Mark and drill two mounting holes in the wall where you want to mount the switch. The two mounting holes must be 7.01 in. (178 mm) apart, center-to-center.
  3. Insert the supplied anchors into the wall and tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver. Leave about 0.125 in. (4 mm) of each screw protruding from the wall so that you can insert the screws into the holes on the bottom panel.

Note: GS324v2 screws are 6.3 mm in diameter, 27 mm in length.
