Unpacking

Open the shipping carton of the switch and carefully unpack its contents.  The carton should

contain the following items:

♦

One DES-1218 or DES-1226 Stand-alone Switch

♦

One AC power cord

♦

This User’s Guide CD-ROM

♦

Registration card

Mounting Kit (two brackets and screws)

♦

Four rubber feet with adhesive backing

♦

RS-232 Console Cable

If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local D-Link Reseller for

replacement.

Setup

The site where you install the Switch may greatly effect its performance.  Please follow these

guidelines for setting up the switch.

♦

Install the switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support at least 3 kg of weight. Do not

place heavy objects on the switch.

♦

The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the switch.

♦

Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully secured to the AC power port.

♦

Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the

switch. Leave at least 10 cm of space at the front and rear of the switch for ventilation.

♦

Install the switch in a fairly cool and dry place.  See Appendix A, Technical Specifications,

for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.

♦

Install the switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as

motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

♦

When installing the switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the

device.  The rubber feet cushion the switch, protect the casing from scratches and prevent

it from scratching other surfaces.
