Installation
Note: The images in this guide are for demonstration only and may differ from your actual product.
Method 1: Desktop Installation
1) Remove the adhesive backing papers from the feet.
2) Attach the feet to the bottom of the switch to prevent it from slipping when placed on a desktop.
Note:
Place nothing on the top of the switch to avoid blocking the top ventilation openings for better cooling.
Leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) gaps around the device, especially the vertical space above, for air circulation.
Connection
AC Power Cord
Note: For simplicity, we will take DS1008X for example.

Kensington Security Slot
Secure the lock (not provided) into the security slot to prevent the device from being stolen.
Power Socket
Plug the female connector of the power cord directly into the power socket and plug the
male connector into an AC outlet. Make sure that the voltage of the power supply meets
the requirement of the input voltage (100–240 V ~ 50/60 Hz).
Grounding Terminal
The switch already comes with lightning protection mechanism. You can also ground the
switch through the PE (Protecting Earth) cable of AC cord or with Ground Cable.
Method 2: Rack Installation
Rack-mounting Bracket
Screw
Note:
Leave 5 to 10 cm gaps around the devices for air circulation.
Avoid placing heavy things on the device.
Place the device with its bottom facing downwards.
Mount devices in sequence from the bottom to top of the rack and ensure a certain clearance
between devices for the purpose of heat dissipation.
For DS108X: The preferred rack-mounting position is at the base of the rack or cabinet (for
optimal cooling) or below as many of the other products as can be accommodated.
