[. . . ] The rubber feet cushion the Switch, protect the casing from scratches, and prevent it from scratching other surfaces. 6 6 D-Link DGS -1008D Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch Mounting the Switch on a Wall The DGS -1008D can be mounted on a wall. Two mounting slots are provided on the bottom of the Switch for this purpose. The wall-mount process is complete. (1) 3/4 inch minimu m for a wooden wall. (2) 3 inch minimum for a cement wall. Figure 2 - 1. Mounting the Switch to a Wall Attaching the Rubber Feet § Use the rubber feet provided. Position and apply the rubber feet to the underside of the DGS-1008D Switch. Figure 2 -2. Attaching the Rubber Feet CAUTION: Do not place any device on top of Switch, or place the Switch on top of any device or object that will block the free flow of air through the ventilation slots on the sides, top, and bottom of the Switch's case. In addition, care should be taken not to locate the Switch next to, on top of, or underneath any device that generates a significant amount of heat. For the Switch to perform at its optimal level, the Switch must have adequate ventilation to prevent the Switch from overheating and becoming damaged. 7 7 D-Link DGS -1008D Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch Power On Plug one end of the AC to DC power converter into the power connector of the Switch and the other end into the local power source outlet. After the Switch is powered on, the LED indicators will momentarily blink. This blinking of the LED indicators represents a reset of the system. Power Failure As a precaution, in the event of a power failure, unplug the Switch. When power is resumed, plug the Switch back in. 8 8 D-Link DGS -1008D Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch Section 3 Connecting The Switch Switch To End Node Switch To Hub or Switch Connecting To a Server NOTE: All 8 high -performance NWay Ethernet ports can support both MDI-II and MDI-X connections. Switch To End Node End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and most routers. An end node can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e UTP/STP cable. The end node can be connected to any of the ports of the Switch. Figure 3-1. Switch connected to an end node The Link/Act LEDs for each UTP port light green when the link is valid. The LED over the port label indicates a port speed of either 10/100 Mbps or 1000Mbps. A blinking LED on the bottom indicates packet activity on that port. Switch to Hub or Switch These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a standard Ethernet cable. · · · A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e UTP/STP cable. A 100BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted -pair Category 5 UTP/STP cable. A 1000BASE-T switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted -pair Category 5e or better UTP/STP cable. 9 9 D-Link DGS -1008D Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch Figure 3-2. Switch connected to a port on a hub or switch using either a straight or crossover cable­any standard Ethernet cable is fine Connecting To Network Backbone or Server Any of the five Gigabit Ethernet ports are ideal for uplinking to a network backbone or network server.
