D-Link GO-SW-5G/8G 5/8-port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch Safety Instructions Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your system from potential damage. Throughout this safety section, the caution icon ( ) is used to indicate cautions and precautions that you need to review and follow. Safety Cautions To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment, observe the following precautions.
D-Link GO-SW-5G/8G 5/8-port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch • When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies, if offered with your system, observe the following guidelines: – Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power supply. – Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply. – If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cables from the power supplies.
D-Link GO-SW-5G/8G 5/8-port 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. You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD): 1.
D-Link GO-SW-5G/8G 5/8-port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch SECTION 1 Introduction Ethernet Technology D-Link’s Green Technology Switch Description Features Ports Front-Panel Components Ethernet Technology Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks. A number of high-speed LAN technologies are proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times.
D-Link GO-SW-5G/8G 5/8-port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch • Power Saving Technology: • Power saving by link status. • 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. Power saving by cable length: 0~20m, 21~50m, 51~100m.
D-Link GO-SW-5G/8G 5/8-port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch • Store-and-Forward switching method • Supports 2K(GO-SW-5G)/ 8K(GO-SW-8G) absolute MAC addresses • Supports 128KBytes RAM for data buffering • IEEE 802.3x flow control for full duplex • Back pressure flow control for half duplex • Jumbo Frame Support at 1000Mbps ( 9216Bytes ) Front-Panel Components The top case of the Switch consists of LED indicators, 5/8 (10/100/1000 Mbps) Ethernet ports. Figure 1-1.
D-Link GO-SW-5G/8G 5/8-port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch LED Indicators The LED indicators of the Switch include Power, Link/Act and Speed. The following shows the LED indicators for the Switch along with an explanation of each indicator. Figure 1-2. LED Indicators Comprehensive LED indicators display the conditions of the Switch and status of the network. A description of these LED indicators follows (see LED Indicators). The LED indicators of the Switch include Power and Link/Act , as described below.
D-Link GO-SW-5G/8G 5/8-port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch Rear Panel Description DC Power Jack: Power is supplied through an external AC power adapter. Check the technical specification section for information about the AC power input voltage. Figure 1-3. Rear panel view of the Switch 10/100/1000BASE-T Ports: Five and eight (5/8) Gigabit Ethernet, Auto-Negotiating ports (10/100/1000Mbps) Comprehensive LED indicators display the conditions of the Switch and status of the network.
D-Link GO-SW-5G/8G 5/8-port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch SECTION 2 Installation Package Contents Before You Connect to the Network Installing the Switch Power On Package Contents Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack its contents.
D-Link GO-SW-5G/8G 5/8-port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch 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. This blinking of the LED indicators represents a reset of the system. Power Failure As a precaution, in the event of a power failure, unplug the Switch. When power is resumed, plug the Switch back in.
D-Link GO-SW-5G/8G 5/8-port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch Section 3 Connecting The Switch Switch To End Node Switch To Hub or Switch Connecting To a Server NOTE: All 5/8 high-performance NWay Ethernet ports can support both MDI-II and MDI-X connections. Switch To 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.
