Module Slots
Used to install module options for various kinds of additional connec-
tions, as well as the DFE-260S 10Mbps/100Mbps bridge module. (In
the DFE-2616x, DFE-2616ix, DFE-2624x and DFE-2624ix, module slot
1 is already occupied by the switch module which is standard on these
models.)
♦
Daisy-Chain IN Port
When cascading a set of D-Link’s stackable dual-speed hubs, this port
should be connected to the Daisy-Chain OUT port of the previous hub
in the stack (usually placed immediately above it). A cascade of five
hubs can be created in this way. The first and last hubs in the stack use
only one of the daisy-chain ports, while the others use both.
♦
Daisy-Chain OUT Port
Works in conjunction with the Daisy-Chain IN Port (see above). Con-
nect this port to the Daisy-Chain IN Port of the next hub in the stack
(usually placed immediately below it), using the enclosed daisy-chain
cable.
♦
Diagnostic (Console) Port -- Master Models Only
This 9-pin serial connector is used for connecting a console to the DFE-
2600 series master hubs for out-of-band management of this particular
hub or the entire stack.
♦
Fan
Provides air circulation and heat dissipation. Be sure to leave adequate
space at the rear of the unit for proper ventilation.
