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 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 28. 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 Page 25 of 110

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 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
28.
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
