♦ One DES-1048G Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Switch
♦ One AC power cord
♦ This User's Guide CD-ROM
♦ Four rubber feet with adhesive backing
♦ RS-232 Console Cable
♦ Six screws and two brackets for rack mounting
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local D-Link Reseller for
replacement.

Setup

The site where you install the DES-1048G Switch may greatly affect its performance.
Please follow these guidelines for setting up the switch.
♦ Install the switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support at least 6 kg of
weight. Do not place heavy objects on the switch.
♦ The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the switch.
♦ Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully secured to the AC power
port.
♦ Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation
around the switch. Leave at least 10 cm of space at the front and rear of the
switch for ventilation.
♦ Install the switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Appendix A, Technical
Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.
♦ Install the switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such
as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
♦ When installing the switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom
of the device. The rubber feet cushion the switch, protect the casing from
scratches and prevent it from scratching other surfaces.
