To ensure your personal safety and protect your D-LINK DGS-1100-16V2 from potential damage, follow these guidelines:

• Static electricity can be harmful to electronic components. Discharge static electricity from your body (i.e. touching grounded bare metal) before touching the product.

• Do not attempt to service the product and never disassemble the product.

• Do not spill food or liquid on your product and never push any objects into the openings of your product.

• Do not use this product near water, areas with high humidity, or condensation unless the product is specifically rated for outdoor application.

• Keep the product away from radiators and other heat sources.

• Always unplug the product from mains power before cleaning and use a dry lint-free cloth only.

The manual uses several text conventions to represent different types of information. The table below explains these conventions:

Convention	Description
Boldface Font	Indicates a button, a toolbar icon, menu, or menu item. For example: Open the File menu and choose Cancel. Used for emphasis. May also indicate system messages or prompts appearing on screen. For example: You have mail. Bold font is also used to represent filenames, program names and commands. For example: use the copy command.
Initial capital letter	Indicates a window name. Names of keys on the keyboard have initial capitals. For example: Click Enter.
Menu Name > Menu Option	Indicates the menu structure. Device > Port > Port Properties means the Port Properties menu option under the Port menu option that is located under the Device menu.

When administering your D-LINK DGS-1100-16V2, you should pay special attention to three types of indicators:

• 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 of the D-LINK DGS-1100-16V2 has several LEDs that provide information about the switch’s status:

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

Link/Act/Speed LED (Ports 1-16):

• Solid Green: When there is a secure 1000Mbps connection at the port.

• Blinking Green or Amber: When there is reception or transmission occurring at the port.

• Solid Amber: When there is a secure 10/100Mbps connection at the port.

• Light off: No link.

To reset the D-LINK DGS-1100-16V2, press the Reset button on the front panel until all port LEDs turn amber. The switch will then change back to the default configuration, and all changes will be lost.

When you unpack the shipping carton for your D-LINK DGS-1100-16V2, you should find 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 the local reseller for replacement.

When installing the D-LINK DGS-1100-16V2 on a desktop or shelf, the included rubber feet must be attached to the bottom at each corner of the device’s base. Ensure there is enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around it. For safe installation and operation, it is recommended that you:

• Visually inspect the power cord to see that it is secured fully to the AC power connector.

• Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and adequate ventilation around the switch.

• Do not place heavy objects on the switch.

The D-LINK DGS-1100-16V2 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 screws provided.

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 in a rack:

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 complete this procedure before powering your D-LINK DGS-1100-16V2. You will need the included ground screw, a ground cable (not included), and a screwdriver.

Step 1: Verify if the system power is off.

Step 2: Use the ground cable to place the #8 terminal lug ring on top of the ground-screw opening.

Step 3: Insert the ground screw into the ground-screw opening.

Step 4: Using a screwdriver, tighten the ground screw to secure 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 if the connections at the ground connector on the switch and the rack are securely attached.
