D-LINK DGS-1100-10MPV2 (01) PDF Document

When administering your D-LINK DGS-1100-10MPV2, you should pay special attention to the following indicators in the documentation:

NOTE: A note indicates important information that helps you make better use of your device.

NOTICE: A notice indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the problem.

CAUTION: A caution indicates a potential for property damage, personal injury, or death.

The front panel LEDs on the D-LINK DGS-1100-10MPV2 provide the following information:

Power LED: Lights up when the Switch is connected to a power source.

Port LED Indicator (For PoE Model): A LED select button switches between two modes for all 10/100/1000Mbps ports: Link/Act/Speed Mode and PoE Mode.

Link/Act/Speed LED (Ports 1-10):

Solid Green: Indicates a secure 1000Mbps connection at the port.

Blinking Green or Amber: Indicates reception or transmission is occurring at the port.

Solid Amber: Indicates a secure 10/100Mbps connection at the port.

Light off: No link.

PoE Mode (Ports 1-8):

Green: A PD (Powered Device) is inserted and power is being fed.

Amber: A PD is inserted but a failure has occurred (e.g., PD error or insufficient power budget).

Light off: No PD is inserted.

LED Mode Button: Pressing this button changes the LED behavior between Link mode and PoE mode.

Reset: Pressing the Reset button until all port LEDs turn amber will revert the Switch to its default configuration, and all changes will be lost.

Note: The LED behavior for ports 1-8 will switch between Link mode and PoE mode when the PoE mode is active. The PoE power budget for ports 1-8 is 30 watts/port, with a total PoE Power budget of 130 watts.

When you unpack your D-LINK DGS-1100-10MPV2, the shipping carton should contain the following items:

• One D-Link DGS-1100 Series Switch

• AC power cord

• Four rubber feet

• Screws and two mounting brackets

• One accessory kit for a ground screw

• One Getting Started Guide

If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.

To install the D-LINK DGS-1100-10MPV2 on a desktop or shelf, follow these steps:

1. Attach the included rubber feet to the bottom at each corner of the device’s base.

2. Place the switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight.

3. Ensure there is enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around it for proper heat dissipation.

4. Do not place heavy objects on the switch.

The D-LINK DGS-1100-10MPV2 can be mounted in an EIA standard size 19-inch rack. Follow these steps:

1. Attach the mounting brackets to the switch’s side panels (one on each side) and secure them with the provided screws.

2. Use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the switch in the rack.

Please be aware of the following safety instructions when installing:

A) Elevated Operating Ambient – If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

B) Reduced Air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

C) Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

D) Circuit Overloading – Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

E) Reliable Earthing – Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

You must ground the D-LINK DGS-1100-10MPV2 before powering it on. You will need the included ground screw, a ground cable (not included), and a screwdriver.

Step 1: Verify that the system power is off.

Step 2: Place the #8 terminal lug ring of the ground cable on top of the ground-screw opening on the switch.

Step 3: Insert the ground screw into the opening.

Step 4: Use a screwdriver to tighten the ground screw, securing the ground cable to the switch.

Step 5: Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end of the grounding cable to an appropriate grounding stud or bolt on the rack where the switch is installed.

Step 6: Verify that the connections at the ground connector on the switch and the rack are securely attached.
