D-Link GO-SW-16G/GO-SW-24G GIGABIT EASY DESKTOP SWITCH Safety Instructions (continued) • • • • • • • • • • To help avoid damaging your system, be sure the voltage selection Switch (if provided) on the power supply is set to match the power available at your location: – 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan – 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan.
D-Link GO-SW-16G/GO-SW-24G GIGABIT EASY DESKTOP SWITCH Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis. You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD): 1.
SECTION 1 Introduction About This Guide Switch Description Switch Features D-Link Green Technology Ports Front-Panel Components LED Indicators Power Input on Rear Panel About This Guide Congratulations on your purchase of the 16/24-PORT GIGABIT EASY DESKTOP SWITCH. These devices are using compact plastic case and are highly flexible solution for SOHO or small office customers.
Switch Features The GO-SW-16G 16-Port and GO-SW-24G 24-port Switches do not require any management. Both Switches are designed for easy installation, flexibility and high performance. Connect devices to the Switch as the scale and volume of network traffic increases.
Gigabit Ethernet Technology Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support for CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects, but with a tenfold increase in theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase over 10-Mbps Ethernet.
If there is no link on a port, such as when there is no computer connected to the port or the connected computer is powered off, D-Link’s Green Technology will enter a "sleep mode", drastically reducing power used for that port. • Power saving by cable length: 0~20m, 21~100m. D-Link’s Green Technology detects the length of connected Ethernet cable and adjusts power usage accordingly without affecting performance.
LED Indicator Description Power This lights green while the Switch is receiving power. Link/Act/Speed When connected to a 1000Mbps device, this LED indicator light is green when the port is connected to a device and will blink as data is transmitted or received. When connected to a 10/100Mbps device, this LED indicator light is amber when the port is connected to a device and will blink as data is transmitted or received.
Rear Panel Description The power cable connection is located on the rear panel of the Switch. DC Power Jack: Power is supplied through an external 12V/1A AC power adapter for GO-SW-16G and an external 12V/1.5A AC power adapter for GO-SW24G. Check the technical specification section for information about the AC power input voltage.
SECTION 2 Installation Package Contents Before You Connect to the Network Installing the Switch Power On Package Contents Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents. The carton should contain the following items: • • • • One GO-SW-16G 16-Port/ GO-SW-24G 24-Port 10/100/1000BASE-T GIGABIT EASY DESKTOP SWITCH One AC power adapter Quick Install Guide Wall-mounting kits If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local D-Link reseller for replacement.
Before You Connect to the Network The site where you install the Switch may greatly affect 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 (6.6 lbs.) 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.
Mounting the Switch on a Rack The GO-SW-16G /24G can be mounted on a wall. Two mounting slots are provided on the bottom of the switch for this purpose. Please make sure that the front panel is exposed in order to view the LEDs. Please refer to the illustration below: A.) Mounting on a cement wall 1. Mount the Nylon screw anchors into a cement wall. 2. Drive the T3 x 15L screws into the Nylon screw anchors. 3. Hook the mounting holes of the switch back on the screws; you have completed the wall-mount. B.
Power On Plug one end of the AC to DC power adapter 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.
Section 3 Connecting the Switch Switch to End Node Switch to Hub or Switch Connecting to a Server NOTE: All Ethernet ports auto-detect MDI/MDIX, port speed (10, 100, 1000Mbps) and duplex of the device connected to the Switch. Cable Quality For all connections to the Switch, use these rules to determine the • For connections to 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices, use Category 5 or 5e UTP/STP cable. • For connections to 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T devices, use Category 5e or better UTP/STP cable.
Connect to an 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.
Connect 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 or better UTP/STP cable. • A 1000BASE-T switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted -pair Category 5 or better UTP/STP cable.
Connect to Network Backbone or Server Any of the 16/24 Gigabit Ethernet ports are ideal for uplinking to a network backbone or network server.
