Cannot Factory Reset ProSafe GS108

hello everyone,

I am having a hard time resetting my ProSafe 8 ports Gigabit Switch (GS108). I can't find the reset button anywhere.

I cannot find the IP address using the SmartWizard Discovery tool either.

What can I do to get this switch up and running?

Thanks for the help. :)

That's a little bit difficult because of this GS108 is a non-managed switch - noting to reset.

What's the problem with it?

  oh I see. When you say it is an unmanaged switch, there is no way I can open the browser page for it right? So it will always be given an IP address by the DHCP?
  
  I wanted to set a static IP address for it that's all.
  
  Thanks for the help.
