1. 1 Hardware Setup The NETGEAR ProSAFE® 10-Gigabit Ethernet Web Managed Switch provides 10-Gigabit copper ports and one shared (combo) copper/SFP+ fiber port. Switch model XS708Ev2 includes 8 ports. Switch model XS716E includes 16 ports. You can either use the 10G copper port (8T or 16T), or use the 10G fiber SFP+ slot (8F or 16F). Using the 10G ports, you can create high-speed connections to a server, network-attached storage (NAS) system, or backbone network.
ProSAFE 10-Gigabit Ethernet Web Managed Switch Package Contents The package includes the items shown in the following illustration. The power cord is localized to the country of sale. The power cord that is shown in the following figure is for illustration only. Figure 1. XS708Ev2 switch package contents Figure 2.
ProSAFE 10-Gigabit Ethernet Web Managed Switch Switch Front Panel The switch provides eight 100M/1G/10G copper RJ-45 ports, of which port 8T and slot 8F form a shared (combo) port. The 1G/10G SFP+ slots (8F) accept fiber modules. You use either port 8T or port 8F. Each copper RJ-45 port is capable of sensing the line speed and negotiating the duplex mode with the link partner automatically. XS708Ev2 Front Panel The following figure shows the front panel of the switch.
ProSAFE 10-Gigabit Ethernet Web Managed Switch From left to right, the front panel contains the following components: • Power and Fan LEDs. • Recessed Factory Defaults button to restore the device back to the factory defaults. • Sixteen RJ-45 connectors for 100M/1G/10G AutoSensing 10-Gigabit Ethernet switching ports. • One port (16) is a combo port: You can either use port 16T as Gigabit Ethernet switching port or you can install a fiber module in 1G/10G SFP+ slot 16F.
