Before You Begin
The setup of the Switch can be performed using the following steps:
• Visually inspect the power cord and make sure that it is fully secured to the power
socket of the Switch.
• Do not cover the ventilation holes on the sides of the Switch, and make sure there is
adequate ventilation around it.
• Do not place heavy objects on the switch.
• Place the Switch in a cool and dry environment.

Installing Power Cord Clip
To prevent accidental removal of the AC power cord, it is recommended to install the power
cord clip together with the power cord.
1. With the rough side facing down, insert the Tie Wrap into the hole below the power socket.
2. Plug the AC power cord into the power socket of the Switch.
3. Slide the retainer through the Tie Wrap until the end of the cord.
4. Circle the tie of the retainer around the power cord and into the locker of the retainer.
5. Fasten the tie of the retainer until the power cord is secured.
Mount on a Rack
The DGS-1024D can easily be mounted on a rack. Two mounting ears are provided for this
purpose. Make sure that the front panel is exposed in order to view the LEDs.
1. Attach the ears to each side of the switch, using the screw-holes located on the side of the
device.
2. Firmly attach the ears to the rack as shown. Please follow the usual safety precautions for
rack-mountable products.
Connecting the Switch
Step 1
Plug the supplied power cord into the Switch and the other end into a power outlet, power
strip, or surge protector (recommended). Verify the Power indicator is lit on the Switch.
Step 2
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable in the device you want to connect to the Switch and the
other end into one of the Ethernet ports on the Switch. Check the Link lights (LEDs) on both
the Switch and the device to verify that the cable is good and that there is a valid connection.
Note: A Category 5 (or higher) Ethernet cable must be used for 100Mbps or higher operation.
LEDs
Power Indicator - This green indicator light is on when the Switch is receiving power;
otherwise, it is off.
Link/Act - This LED indicator light is green when the port is successfully connected to an
1000Mbps device and will blink as data is transmitted or received.
This LED indicator light is amber when the port is successfully connected to an 100Mbps or
10Mbps device and will blink as data is transmitted or received.

D-Link Green Technology
D-Link Green Technology implements special power-saving features that detect cable length and link
status and adjust power usage accordingly. Green Technology saves energy in two specific ways:
1. If there is no link on a port (when there is no connection or the device connected is turned off) the
port(s) will enter a "sleep mode" which will drastically reduce the amount of power used.
2. D-Link Green Technology detects the length of connected Ethernet cable and adjusts power
usage accordingly without affecting performance. This way, a port connected to a 20m or under
cable only uses as much power as it needs, instead of using full power, which is only needed for
100m cables.
This product is IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficiency Ethernet compliant. The IEEE 802.3az EEE standard defines
mechanisms and protocols intended to reduce the energy consumption of network links during
periods of low utilization, by transitioning interfaces into a low-power state without interrupting the
network connection. Both connected devices must support 802.3az EEE for power saving support. If the
connected device does not support 802.3az EEE, the switch will default to D-Link's Green Technology of
power saving.
