Note: For detailed information about temperature thresholds, PoE budgets, and traffic
load conditions that affect the fans, see the hardware installation guide, which you can
download by visiting netgear.com/support/download.
To manually control the fans:
1. Launch a web browser.
2.
In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.
3.
In the Login Name field, enter admin as the user name, in the Password field, enter
your local device password, and click the Login button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.
The Overview page displays.

In the Fans & Temperature section, select one of the following radio buttons.
•
Off: The fans are off and produce no noise. You can only manually set the fans
in Off mode. The following models do not support Off mode.
- M4250-26G4F-PoE++
- M4250-40G8XF-PoE+
- M4250-40G8XF-PoE++
•
Quiet: The fans function from 20 or 25 percent (depends on the model) to 100
percent speed. Quiet mode is the default mode. At 20 or 25 percent speed, the
fans produce minimal noise. Fan noise increases at 50 percent speed and even
more so at 75 percent speed. At 100 percent speed, the fans produce
considerable noise.
In Quiet mode, the switch might automatically change back and forth between
Cool mode and Quiet mode until a temperature, PoE budget, or traffic load
condition returns within thresholds.
•
Cool: The fans consistently function at 100 percent speed and produce maximum
cooling as well as considerable noise.
The fan setting changes immediately. However, depending on the switch model, if
the temperature detected by the temperature sensor exceeds its threshold, a PoE
budget is exceeded, or a traffic load condition is exceeded, the switch automatically
overrides your manual setting.
