D-Link GO-SW-16G/GO-SW-24G GIGABIT EASY DESKTOP SWITCH Safety Instructions (continued) • To help avoid damaging your system, be sure the voltage selection Switch (if provided) on the power supply is set to match the power available at your location: – 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan –...
D-Link GO-SW-16G/GO-SW-24G GIGABIT EASY DESKTOP SWITCH Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
SOHO or small office customers. Switch Description The 16-port GO-SW-16G and 24-port GO-SW-24G Switches provide dedicated 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps Ethernet bandwidth on each port. The ports will automatically detect the speed, duplex and MDI/MDIX status of the device it is connecting to, and adjust these settings accordingly.

Ethernet NIC’s are able to perform 10 times the number of operations in the same amount of time. D-Link Green Technology • IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE): It is the first standard in the history of Ethernet to address proactive reduction in energy consumption for networked devices.
If there is no link on a port, such as when there is no computer connected to the port or the connected computer is powered off, D-Link’s Green Technology will enter a "sleep mode", drastically reducing power used for that port.

LED Indicator Description Power This lights green while the Switch is receiving power. When connected to a 1000Mbps device, Link/Act/Speed this LED indicator light is green when the port is connected to a device and will blink as data is transmitted or received. When connected to a 10/100Mbps device, this LED indicator light is amber when the port is connected to a device and will blink...
The power cable connection is located on the rear panel of the Switch. DC Power Jack: Power is supplied through an external 12V/1A AC power adapter for GO-SW-16G and an external 12V/1.5A AC power adapter for GO-SW- 24G. Check the technical specification section for information about the AC power input voltage.
The carton should contain the following items: • One GO-SW-16G 16-Port/ GO-SW-24G 24-Port 10/100/1000BASE-T GIGABIT EASY DESKTOP SWITCH • One AC power adapter • Quick Install Guide • Wall-mounting kits If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local D-Link reseller for replacement.
Before You Connect to the Network The site where you install the 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 3 kg (6.6 lbs.) of weight.
Mounting the Switch on a Rack The GO-SW-16G /24G can be mounted on a wall. Two mounting slots are provided on the bottom of the switch for this purpose. Please make sure that the front panel is exposed in order to view the LEDs. Please refer to the illustration below: A.) Mounting on a cement wall...
Power On Plug one end of the AC to DC power adapter into the power connector of the Switch and the other end into the local power source outlet. After the Switch is powered on, the LED indicators will momentarily blink.
Section 3 Connecting the Switch Switch to End Node Switch to Hub or Switch Connecting to a Server NOTE: All Ethernet ports auto-detect MDI/MDIX, port speed (10, 100, 1000Mbps) and duplex of the device connected to the Switch. Cable Quality For all connections to the Switch, use these rules to determine the •...
Connect to an End Node 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.
Connect to Hub or Switch These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a standard Ethernet cable. • A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e UTP/STP cable. •...
