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.

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 reseller to purchase these modules. If you do not want to
