Rear Panel Description
The rear panel of the Switch contains an AC power connector.
Figure 1- 3. Rear panel view of the DES-3528
The AC power connector is a standard three-pronged connector that supports the power cord. Plug-in the female
connector of the provided power cord into this socket, and the male side of the cord into a power outlet. The Switch
automatically adjusts its power setting to any supply voltage in the range from 100 ~ 240 VAC at 50 ~ 60 Hz.
The rear panel also includes two 1000Mbps Copper ports and an outlet for an optional external power supply. When
power fails, the optional external RPS will take over all the power immediately and automatically.
Side Panel Description
The left and right-hand panel of the Switch contains a heat vent.
The heat vents are used to dissipate heat. Do not block these openings, and leave at least 6 inches of space at the
rear and sides of the Switch for proper ventilation. Be reminded that without proper heat dissipation and air circulation,
system components might overheat, which could lead to system failure.

Gigabit Combo Ports
In addition to the 24 10/100 Mbps ports, the Switch features two Gigabit Ethernet Combo ports. These two ports are
1000BASE-T copper ports (provided) and SFP ports (optional). See the diagram below to view the two SFP port
modules being plugged into the Switch. Please note that although these two front panel modules can be used
simultaneously. At the same time, only one copper port or one SFP port can link up for each combo port. The SFP
port will always have the highest priority.
