D-Link DGS-108 Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch Safety Instructions (continued) Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first. Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack. -
Page 8: Introduction
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual segments. Traffic that needs to go from one segment to another (from one port to another) is automatically forwarded by the switch, without interfering... -
Page 9: Switch Description
Switch Description The DGS-108 Switch is equipped with eight ports providing dedicated 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps bandwidth. These ports can be used for connecting PCs, printers, servers, routers, Switches, hubs, and other network devices. The eight multi-speed ports use standard twisted pair cabling and are ideal for segmenting networks into small, connected subnets. -

Attaching the Rubber Feet Provide for Adequate Ventilation CAUTION: of any device or object that will block the free flow of air through the ventilation slots on the sides, top, and bottom of the Switch’s case. -
Page 16: Connecting The Switch
End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and most routers. An end node can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e UTP/STP cable. The end node can be connected to any of the ports of the Switch. -
Page 17: Connecting To Network Backbone Or Server
• A 1000BASE-T switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted -pair Category 5e or better UTP/STP cable. Figure 3-2. Switch connected to a port on a hub or switch using either a straight or crossover cable– any standard Ethernet cable is fine Connecting To Network Backbone or Server Any of the eight Gigabit Ethernet ports are ideal for uplinking to a network backbone or network server. -

– A port that does not learn device addresses, and that receives all frames with an unknown address. Backbone ports are normally used to connect the Switch to the backbone of your network. Note that backbone ports were formerly known as designated downlink ports. - Page 21 – The port in a resilient link that will take over data transmission if the main port in the link fails. switch – A device that filters, forwards, and floods packets based on the packet’s destination address. The Switch learns the addresses associated with each switch port and builds tables based on this information to be used for the switching decision.
