Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Preface Congratulations on your purchase of the Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch. This preface introduces you to the Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch and discusses the organization and conventions of this User’s Guide. It also provides information on other related documentation. About Gigabit Ethernet Gigabit Ethernet is a 1Gbps (1000Mbps) extension of the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networking standard.
Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Chapter 1 Getting to Know the GS-1008/ GS-1016 This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of the GS1008/GS-1016. The GS-1008/GS-1016 is designed for the campus or building environment as a high bandwidth backbone.

Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Installation This section shows two switch installations, describes the switch hardware and gives a functional overview of the switch. The switch is suited to an office environment where it can be rack mounted on standard EIA racks or as a standalone. For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at the front, 3.4 inches (8 cm) at the back of the switch.
Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Figure 2-1 Attaching Rubber Feet Do not block the ventilation holes. Leave space between switches when stacking. 2.2 Rack-mounted Installation The switch can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your switch on a standard EIA rack using the included rack-mounting kit. Step 1.
Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Figure 2-2 Attaching Mounting Brackets and Screws 2. After attaching both mounting brackets, position the switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the switch to the rack with the rack’s mounting screws.
Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch 2.3 Rear Panel The ventilation fan and three-pronged power receptacle are located on the rear panel of the switch. Figure 2-4 GS-1008 Rear Panel Figure 2-5 GS-1016 Rear Panel 2.3.1 Rear Panel Power Connection Connect one end of the supplied power cord to the power receptacle on the back of the switch and the other end to the 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz power source. For the GS1016, push the power switch to the ON position. 2.
Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Figure 2-7 GS-1016 Front Panel 2.4.1 100/1000Mbps RJ-45 Auto-negotiating Ports The GS-1016 has 16 1000Mbps RJ-45 ports. The GS-1008 has eight 100/1000Mbps RJ-45 ports. The GS-1008’s auto-negotiation feature allows the switch to detect the speed of incoming transmission and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfers of either 100 Mbps or 1000Mbps in either half-duplex or fullduplex mode depending on your Ethernet network. 2.
Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch 2.4.4 Front Panel LEDs The LEDs give real-time status information. The following table provides LED descriptions.

Off The switch is off or not receiving power. On A link to a 1000Mbps Ethernet device is up. Off The port is not connected to a 1000Mbps Ethernet device. On A link to a 100Mbps Ethernet network is up.
Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Chapter 3 Troubleshooting This section describes common problems you may encounter with the switch in your network and possible solutions. 3.1 Introduction Troubleshoot the switch using the LEDs to detect problems. 3.1.1 PWR LED The PWR LED on the front panel does not light up. Table 3-1 Troubleshooting PWR LED STEPS CORRECTIVE ACTION 1 Check the connections from your switch to the power source.
Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Table 3-2 Troubleshooting LK/ACT LED STEPS CORRECTIVE ACTION 2 Make sure the Ethernet adapters are working on the attached devices. 3 Verify that proper network cable type is used and its length does not exceed 100 meters. For more information on network cable types, see 2.4.3 Front Panel Connections. 3.1.3 100, 1000 LEDs The LEDs do not show the speed of my Ethernet device.
Dimension GS-1008/GS-1016 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Table 3-5 Troubleshooting Improper Network Cabling and Topology DESCRIPTION PROBLEMS AND CORRECTIVE ACTION Faulty cables Using faulty network cables may affect data rates and have an impact on your network performance. Replace with new standard network cables. Non-standard network cables Non-standard cables may increase the number of packet collisions and cause other network problems that affect your network performance. Refer to 2.4.
