Packaging
The packaging is made of plain cardboard, which looks odd for such an expensive product. There is a sticker with the model and serial numbers, though.
Contents & Bundle
The switch is protected by bubble wrap and two foam spacers, and the box is tough enough to protect the switch well.
Netgear's bundle includes a software disk and an installation manual with instructions in many languages. Netgear was also kind enough to send us three AC power cords, one of each type (US, UK, and EU).
