D-Link Unified Access System
Installing the Optional Modules
The rear panel of the DWS-3026 includes two open slots that may be equipped with the DEM-410X 1-port 10GE XFP uplink
module, or a DEM-410CX 1-port 10GBASE-CX4 uplink module, both sold separately.
Adding the DEM-410X optional module allows the switch to transmit data at a rate of ten gigabits per second. The module
port(s) are compliant with standard IEEE 802.3ae, support full-duplex transmissions only and must be used with XFP MSA-
compliant transceivers.
The DEM-410CX uses copper wire medium, not optic fiber and therefore has a transmit length limit up to 1 meters. Compliant
with the IEEE802.3ak standard, this module uses a 4-lane copper connector for data transfer in full-duplex mode.
To install these modules in the DWS-3026 Switch, follow the steps listed in this section.
Caution! Before adding the optional module, make sure to disconnect all power sources connected to the Switch.
Failure to do so may result in an electrical shock, which may cause damage, not only to the individual but to the
Switch as well.
At the back of the Switch to the left are the two slots for the optional modules. These slots must be covered with the faceplate
if the slots are not being used. To install a module in an available slot, remove the faceplate by loosening the screws and
pulling off the plate.
The front panels of the available modules are shown here:
