About This Guide

This guide gives step-by-step instructions for setting up switches and relative Warranty, Safety, Regulatory, and Environment Notice. Please note that the model you have purchased may appear slightly different from those shown in the illustrations.
For more detailed information about your switch, its components, making network connections, and technical specifications, please refer to the User’s Guide included with your switch.

Step 1 – Unpacking

Open the shipping carton and carefully unpack its contents. Please consult the packing list located in the User Guide to make sure all items are present and undamaged. If any item is missing or damaged, please contact your local D-Link reseller for replacement.

• One D-Link Switch
• Rack mounting bracket
• Power cord
• Power cord retainer
• User’s Guide CD with DNA (D-Link Network Assistant) program (optional)
• One multilingual Getting Started Guide
• An accessory kit for one ground screw

Step 2 – Switch Installation

For safe switch installation and operation, it is recommended that you:

• Visually inspect the power cord to see that it is secured fully to the AC power connector.
• Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and adequate ventilation around the switch.
• Do not place heavy objects on the switch

Desktop or Shelf Installation

When installing the switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the device must be attached on the bottom at each corner of the device’s base. Allow enough ventilation space between the device and the objects around it.

Grounding the Switch (depending on the purchased model)

This section describes how to connect the Switch to ground. You must complete this procedure before powering on your Switch.

Required Tools and Equipment

• Grounding screws (included in the accessory kit): One M4 x 6 mm (metric) pan-head screw
• Grounding cable (not included in the accessory kit): The grounding cable should be sized according to local and national installation requirements. Depending on the power supply and system, a 12 to 6 AWG copper conductor is required for installation.
• Commercially available 6 AWG wire is recommended. The length of the cable depends on the proximity of the Switch to proper grounding facilities.
• A screwdriver (not included in the accessory kit)

You can connect the Switch to a protective ground by following the steps below:

1. Verify if the system power is off.
2. Use the grounding cable to place the #8 terminal lug ring on top of the ground-screw opening.
3. Insert the grounding screw into the ground-screw opening.
4. Using a screwdriver, tighten the grounding screw to secure the grounding cable to the Switch.
5. Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end of the grounding cable to an appropriate grounding stud or bolt on rack where the Switch is installed.
6. Verify if the connections at the ground connector on the Switch and the rack are securely attached.

Installing Power Cord Retainer

To prevent accidental removal of the AC power cord, it is recommended to install the power cord retainer together with the power cord.

1. With the rough side facing down, insert the Tie Wrap into the hole below the power socket.
   Figure 3-1. Insert Tie Wrap to the Switch

2. Plug the AC power cord into the power socket of the Switch.
   Figure 3-2. Connect the power cord to the Switch

3. Slide the Retainer through the Tie Wrap until the end of the cord.
   Figure 3-3. Slide the Retainer through the Tie Wrap

4. Circle the tie of the Retainer around the power cord and into the locker of the Retainer.
   Figure 3-4. Circle around the power cord

5. Fasten the tie of the Retainer until the power cord is secured. 

Rack Installation

The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. To install, attach the mounting brackets to the switch’s side panels (one on each side) and secure them with the screws provided.

Then, use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the switch in the rack.

Step 3 – Plugging in the AC

Power Cord
You can now connect the AC power cord into the rear of the switch and to an electrical outlet (preferably one that is grounded and surge protected).

Power Failure
As a precaution, the switch should be unplugged in case of power failure. When power is resumed, plug the switch back in.

Management Options
The D-Link Switch can be managed in-band by using Telnet. The user may also choose the Web-based Management, accessible through a web browser or through any PC using the DNA (D-Link Network Assistant).
If you want to manage only one D-Link Switch, the Web- Based Management is the better option. Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with Web-Based Management or an SNMP network manager and the PC should have an IP address in the same range as the switch.
However, if you want to manage multiple D-Link Switches, the DNA (D-Link Network Assistant) is the better option. Using the DNA (D-Link Network Assistant), you don’t need to change the IP address
of your PC and it is easy to start the initial setting of multiple Switches. Please refer to the following detailed installation instructions for the Web- Based Management, DNA (D-Link Network Assistant), Telnet Management and SNMP- Based Management.

Web-based Management Interface

After a successful physical installation, you can configure the switch, monitor the LED panel, and display statistics graphically using a web browser, such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer version 7.0 and higher, Firefox, Chrome or Safari.
You need the following equipment to begin the web configuration of your device:

• A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
• A standard Ethernet cable

Step 1
Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports in front panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port on the PC.

Step 2
In order to login and configure the switch via an Ethernet connection, the PC must have an IP address in the same range as the switch. For example, if the switch has an IP address of 10.90.90.90, the PC should have an IP address of 10.x.y.z (where x/y is a number between 0 ~ 254 and z is a number between 1 ~254), and a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. Open your web browser and enter http://10.90.90.90 (the factory-default IP address) in the address box. Then press .

The web configuration can also be accessed through the DNA. You can click the IP hyper link in the device list in the DNA to open the web GUI of devices.

NOTE: The switch’s factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default gateway of 0.0.0.0

Step 3
When the following logon box appears, enter “admin” for the password. Press OK to enter the main configuration window.

Step 4
Before entering the Web-based Management, the Smart Wizard will guide you to quickly configure some functions, such as Password Settings, SNMP Settings, and System Settings. If you don’t plan to change anything, click Exit to exit the Wizard and enter the Web- based Management. For a detailed look at the Smart Wizard’s functions, please refer to the Smart Wizard introduction in the user manual.
