Power Supply and Consumption
S108 series industrial switches work with 12V-48V DC power input supplied by a DC connector that supports dual redundant power supply, and is reinforced by over-current protection, reverse polarity protection. The power consumption of the device is less than 3W when idled and less than 7.5W with full load.

Device Setup

Before using the switch, please follow the steps below to finish the device installation.

1. Hold the switch uprightly
2. Place the switch on the DIN rail at an angle with the clip at the top of the DIN rail bracket fit into one side of the DIN rail;
3. Push the switch down to compress the spring of the bracket;
4. Release the switch when there is enough space for the downside of the DIN rail bracket to fit the other side of the DIN rail
5. Gently swing the switch to make sure the switch is fastened on the DIN rail;
6. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into any RJ45 port of the switch and the other end into a switch or server to connect the switch to the network;
7. Use another Ethernet cable to connect a client device to another RJ45 port of the switch when necessary;
8. Insert the terminal end of the DC power connector into the power terminal of the switch and the other end into the power cord;
9. Plug the power adapter into a power outlet that meets the supply voltage requirement (12V to 48V DC) to turn on the device.

Starting the Device
S108 series unmanaged industrial switches offer a plug-and-play solution, and users need only to connect the switch to a power source to start using the device. There is no requirement for additional configurations

I/Os
