Connect the equipment

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

Connect to power

 Check the LED status

PoE Max LED
The maximum PoE power that the switch can deliver to all attached powered devices (PDs) is 123W total for model GS108PP and 60W total for model GS108LP. (For model GS108LP, you can purchase an optional power adapter that can provide 83W total).
The switch can deliver a maximum power of 30W to each port. (For more information, see “PoE considerations”.)
The PoE Max LED indicates the status of the PoE power that the switch can deliver to all attached PDs, as follows:

PoE considerations
The switch prioritizes the PoE and PoE+ power that it supplies in ascending port order (from port 1 to port 8), with a total power budget of 123W for model GS108PP with the default power adapter and 60W for model GS108LP with the default power adapter. If the power requirements for the attached powered devices (PDs) exceed the total power budget of the switch, the PD on the highest‑numbered port is disabled to make sure that the PDs that are connected to the higher‑priority, lower‑numbered ports are supported first.

PoE troubleshooting

Here are some tips for correcting PoE problems that might occur:

• Make sure that the PoE Max LED is off. If the PoE Max LED is solid amber, disconnect one or more PoE devices to prevent PoE oversubscription. Start by disconnecting the device from the highest‑numbered port.
• Make sure that the Ethernet cables are plugged in correctly. For each powered device (PD) that is connected to the switch, the corresponding right port LED on the switch lights solid green. If the right port LED lights solid amber, a PoE fault occurred and PoE halted because of one of the conditions that are listed in the following table

Attach the switch to a wall

To attach the switch to a wall, you need the wall mount screws that are supplied with the switch.
To attach the switch to a wall:

1. Locate the two mount 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 at a precise distance of 4.25 in. (108 mm) from each other.
3. Insert the supplied anchors into the wall and tighten the supplied screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver.

Leave about 0.15 in. (4 mm) of each screw protruding from the wall so that you can insert the screws into the holes on the bottom panel.

Install the switch in a rack

To install the switch in a rack, you need the rackmount brackets and screws that are supplied with the switch.
To install the switch in a rack:

1. Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the side of the switch. Insert the screws provided in the product package through each bracket and into the bracket mounting holes in the switch.
2. Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket.
3. 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.
4. Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure mounting brackets to the rack.
