Step 8: Connecting Devices to the Switch
The following procedure describes how to connect devices to the switch’s RJ-45 ports. Your NETGEAR Model FSM726S or FSM750S Managed
Stackable Switch contains Auto Uplink™ technology, which allows you to attach devices using either straight-through or crossover cables.
Figure 4-9: Connecting Devices to the Switch
Connect each device to an RJ-45 network port on the switch’s front panel (see Figure 4-9). Use Category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector to make these connections.
Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the attached device to 100 m (328 ft).
Adding or Removing Switches to the stack
For the master unit to properly manage the stack, we recommend the following steps when adding or removing a switch from the stack
1. Power down all switches in
the stack.
Note: Do not add or remove stacking cables while the switch is powered up.
2. Remove/Add the necessary switches
Note: the Stack In port on the master unit is always empty.
3. Power up the slave units in the stack.
4. Power up the master unit
