Safety Instructions (continued)
Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power cable for your system or
for any AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in
your country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on
the product's electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater than
the ratings marked on the product.
To help prevent an electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power cables into properly grounded
electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do
not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable,
use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products
plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit
for the extension cable or power strip.
To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a
surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Position system cables and power cables carefully; route cables so that they cannot be stepped on or
tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site
modifications. Always follow your local/national wiring rules.
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.
Move products with care; ensure that all casters and/or stabilizers are firmly connected to the system.
Avoid sudden stops and uneven surfaces.
General Precautions for Rack-Mountable Products
Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer to the rack installation documentation
accompanying the system and the rack for specific caution statements and procedures.
Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus, "component" refers to any system as well as to various
peripherals or supporting hardware.
CAUTION: Installing systems in a rack without the front and side stabilizers
installed could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under
certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizers before installing
components in the rack.
After installing system/components in a rack, never pull more than one component
out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one
extended component could cause the rack to tip over and may result in serious
injury.
Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack, extended to the floor,
and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or
front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
D-Link DGS-108 Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch
vii
Safety Instructions (continued)
Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.
Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.
Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component into or out of a rack; the
slide rails can pinch your fingers.
After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position, and then slide the
component into the rack.
Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not
exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in a rack.
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. When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component
from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your system. Just
before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
2. When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
3. Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads, workbench
pads, and an antistatic grounding strap.
NOTE: A qualified electrician must perform all connections to DC power and to
safety grounds. All electrical wiring must comply with applicable local or national
codes and practices.
CAUTION: Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical
inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is
available.
CAUTION: The system chassis must be positively grounded to the rack cabinet
frame. Do not attempt to connect power to the system until grounding cables are
connected. Completed power and safety ground wiring must be inspected by a
qualified electrical inspector. An energy hazard will exist if the safety ground cable
is omitted or disconnected.

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. Among them, Fast Ethernet, or 100BASE-T,
provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution from 10BASE-T technology.
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a standard specified by the IEEE 802.3 LAN committee. It is an extension of the
10Mbps Ethernet standard with the ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps, while maintaining the
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Ethernet protocol.
Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support
for CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects, but with a tenfold increase in
theoretical throughput over 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and a one hundred-fold increase over 10Mbps Ethernet.
Since it is compatible with all 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a
straightforward upgrade without wasting a company’s existing investment in hardware, software, and trained
personnel.
The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet are essential to coping with the network
bottlenecks that frequently develop as computers and their busses get faster and more users use applications that
generate more traffic. Upgrading key components, such as your backbone and servers to Gigabit Ethernet can
greatly improve network response times as well as significantly speed up the traffic between your subnetworks.
Gigabit Ethernet enables fast optical fiber connections to support video conferencing, complex imaging, and
similar data-intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet,
servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are able to perform 10 times the number of operations in the same
amount of time.
In addition, the phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit Ethernet is the most cost-effective method to take
advantage of today and tomorrow’s rapidly improving switching and routing internetworking technologies.
Switching Technology
Another key development pushing the limits of Ethernet technology is in the field of switching technology. A
switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected
Ethernet or fast Ethernet LAN segments.
Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area
network. A switch increases capacity and decreases network loading by making it possible for a local area
network to be divided into different segments that do not compete with each other for network transmission
capacity, decreasing the load on each segment.
The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the individual segments. Traffic that needs to go from
one segment to another (from one port to another) is automatically forwarded by the switch, without interfering
D-Link DGS-108 Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch
2
with any other segments (ports). This allows the total network capacity to be multiplied, while still maintaining
the same network cabling and adapter cards.
For Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating problems of chaining
hubs beyond the “two-repeater limit.” A switch can be used to split parts of the network into different collision
domains, for example, making it possible to expand your Fast Ethernet network beyond the 205-meter network
diameter limit for 100BASE-TX networks. Switches supporting both traditional 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps
Fast Ethernet are also ideal for bridging between existing 10Mbps networks and new 100Mbps networks.
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous generation of network bridges, which
were characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but the cost
of a router and the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively impractical. Today’s Switches are an
ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems.
Switch Description
The DGS-108 Switch is equipped with eight ports providing dedicated 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps bandwidth. These
ports can be used for connecting PCs, printers, servers, routers, Switches, hubs, and other network devices. The
eight multi-speed ports use standard twisted pair cabling and are ideal for segmenting networks into small,
connected subnets. Each port can support up to 2000 Mbps of throughput in full-duplex mode. This stand-alone
Switch enables the network to use some of the most demanding multimedia and imaging applications
concurrently with other user applications without creating bottlenecks.
Features
The DGS-108 8-Port 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Switch was designed for easy installation and high
performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users increase continuously.

Front-Panel Components
The front panel of the Switch consists of LED indicators, eight (10/100/1000 Mbps) Ethernet ports.
Figure 1-1. Front Panel View of the Switch
Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the Switch and the network.
LED Indicators
The LED indicators of the Switch include Power, 100/1000Mbps, and Link/Act. The following shows the LED
indicators for the Switch along with an explanation of each indicator.
Figure 1-2. LED Indicators
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,
Link/Act, 1000Mbps, and 100Mbps. The Cable Diagnostic functions of the Switch are indicated by a
combination of the Speed and the Link/Act LEDs, as described below.
Power Indicator
This green indicator illuminates when the Switch is receiving power.
Link/Act
This green indicator illuminates steadily when a port is connected to a station successfully and has
a good link. The indicator will blink to indicate that a port is transmitting or receiving data on the
network.
Speed 1000Mbps/Green; 100Mbps/Amber; 10Mbps/Off
This indicator is amber-colored when the port is connected to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet station. It is
green when the port is connected to a 1000Mbps Ethernet station. It is not illuminated when the
port is connected to a 10Mbps Ethernet station.
Cable Diagnostic LED Indications
When the Switch is booted up (when the Switch is first powered on), the Cable Diagnostic function
is initialized and run. The Cable Diagnostic function will detect three common faults in an Ethernet
cable connecting the Switch to a remote network device: an open circuit (a lack of continuity
between the pins at each end of the Ethernet cable or a disconnected cable), a short circuit (two or
more conductors short-circuited), and improper termination (a termination resistance greater than
the specified 100 ohms). Any of these common cable faults will be detected by the Cable
Diagnostic function and the LEDs will display the results of the Cable Diagnostic function as
follows:
Open, Short, or Improper Termination Speed LED: Amber Link/Act LED: Off
Cable connection good Speed LED: Green Link/Act LED: Off
D-Link DGS-108 Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch
4
The Cable Diagnostic function operates only during the Switch boot up (when the Switch is first
powered on).
The Cable Diagnostic first scans the eight Ethernet ports to determine if the Ethernet cable is in
good working order. This process is indicated by the Speed LED blinking green for each of the
eight ports, sequentially. The initial port scan takes about 10 seconds. If a cable fault is detected, it
is indicated by the corresponding port’s Speed LED glowing amber for 5 seconds, after the initial
port scan. The Switch is then reset for normal operation. It takes about 2 seconds for the Switch to
reset. The entire Cable Diagnostic process takes about 17 seconds from the time the Switch is
booted. So, from the time power is first applied to the Switch, about 17 seconds is required before
the Switch will begin normal operation.
Note: There is no display of cable faults detected by the Cable Diagnostic during the normal
operation of the Switch, only when the Switch is booted up or power-cycled.
NOTE: The Cable Diagnostic function does not support 10M/100M. If the port is
connected to a 10M/100M device, see the Link LED to check if the cable is good
or not.

address. Backbone ports are normally used to connect the Switch to the backbone of your network. Note that
backbone ports were formerly known as designated downlink ports.
backbone – The part of a network used as the primary path for transporting traffic between network
segments.
Bandwidth – Information capacity, measured in bits per second, that a channel can transmit. The bandwidth
of Ethernet is 10Mbps, the bandwidth of Fast Ethernet is 100Mbps.
baud rate – The switching speed of a line. Also known as line speed.
BOOTP – The BOOTP protocol allows you to automatically map an IP address to a given MAC address
each time a device is started. In addition, the protocol can assign the subnet mask and default gateway to a
device.
bridge – A device that interconnects local or remote networks no matter what higher level protocols are
involved. Bridges form a single logical network, centralizing network administration.
broadcast – A message sent to all destination devices on the network.
broadcast storm – Multiple simultaneous broadcasts that typically absorb available network bandwidth and
can cause network failure.
console port – The port on the Switch accepting a terminal or modem connector. It changes the parallel
arrangement of data within computers to the serial form used on data transmission links. This port is most
often used for dedicated local management.
CSMA/CD – Channel access method used by Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 standards, in which devices transmit
only after finding the data channel clear for some period of time. When two devices transmit simultaneously,
a collision occurs and the colliding devices delay their retransmissions for a random amount of time.
data center switching – The point of aggregation within a corporate network where a switch provides high-
performance access to server farms, a high-speed backbone connection, and a control point for network
management and security.
Ethernet – A LAN specification developed jointly by Xerox, Intel, and Digital Equipment Corporation.
Ethernet networks operate at 10Mbps using CSMA/CD to run over cabling.
Fast Ethernet – 100Mbps technology based on the Ethernet/CD network access method.
Flow Control – (IEEE 802.3x) A means of holding packets back at the transmit port of the connected end
station. Prevents packet loss at a congested switch port.
forwarding – The process of sending a packet toward its destination by an internetworking device.
full duplex – A system that allows packets to be transmitted and received at the same time and, in effect,
doubles the potential throughput of a link.
D-Link DGS-108 Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch
14
half duplex – A system that allows packets to be transmitted and received, but not at the same time.
Contrast with full duplex.
IP address – Internet Protocol address. A unique identifier for a device attached to a network using TCP/IP.
The address is written as four octets separated with full-stops (periods), and is made up of a network section,
an optional subnet section and a host section.
IPX – Internetwork Packet Exchange. A protocol allowing communication in a NetWare network.
LAN – Local Area Network. A network of connected computing resources (such as PCs, printers, servers)
covering a relatively small geographic area (usually not larger than a floor or building). Characterized by
high data rates and low error rates.
latency – The delay between the time a device receives a packet and the time the packet is forwarded out of
the destination port.
line speed – See baud rate.
main port – The port in a resilient link that carries data traffic in normal operating conditions.
MDI – Medium Dependent Interface. An Ethernet port connection where the transmitter of one device is
connected to the receiver of another device.
MDI-X – Medium Dependent Interface Cross-over. An Ethernet port connection where the internal transmit
and receive lines are crossed.
MIB – Management Information Base. Stores a device’s management characteristics and parameters. MIBs
are used by the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to contain attributes of their managed
systems. The Switch contains its own internal MIB.
multicast – Single packets copied to a specific subset of network addresses. These addresses are specified in
the destination-address field of the packet.
protocol – A set of rules for communication between devices on a network. The rules dictate format, timing,
sequencing, and error control.
resilient link – A pair of ports that can be configured so that one will take over data transmission should the
other fail. See also main port and standby port.
RJ-45 – Standard 8-wire connectors for IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T networks.
RMON – Remote Monitoring. Subset of SNMP MIB II, which allows monitoring and management
capabilities by addressing up to ten different groups of information.
RPS – Redundant Power System. A device that provides a backup source of power when connected to the
Switch.
server farm – A cluster of servers in a centralized location serving a large user population.
SLIP – Serial Line Internet Protocol. A protocol that allows IP to run over a serial line connection.
SNMP – Simple Network Management Protocol. A protocol originally designed to be used in managing
TCP/IP internets. SNMP is presently implemented on a wide range of computers and networking equipment
and may be used to manage many aspects of network and end station operation.
Spanning Tree Protocol – (STP) A bridge-based system for providing fault tolerance on networks. STP
works by allowing you to implement parallel paths for network traffic, and to ensure that redundant paths
are disabled when the main paths are operational and enabled if the main paths fail.
stack – A group of network devices that are integrated to form a single logical device.
standby port – The port in a resilient link that will take over data transmission if the main port in the link
fails.
switch – A device that filters, forwards, and floods packets based on the packet’s destination address. The
Switch learns the addresses associated with each switch port and builds tables based on this information to
be used for the switching decision.
TCP/IP – A layered set of communications protocols providing Telnet terminal emulation, FTP file transfer,
and other services for communication among a wide range of computer equipment.
Telnet – A TCP/IP application protocol that provides virtual terminal service, letting a user log in to another
computer system and access a host as if the user were connected directly to the host.
TFTP – Trivial File Transfer Protocol. Allows you to transfer files (such as software upgrades) from a
remote device using your switch’s local management capabilities.
D-Link DGS-108 Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch
15
UDP – User Datagram Protocol. An Internet standard protocol that allows an application program on one
device to send a datagram to an application program on another device.
VLAN – Virtual LAN. A group of location- and topology-independent devices that communicate as if they
are on a common physical LAN.
VLT – Virtual LAN Trunk. A Switch-to-Switch link which carries traffic for all the VLANs on each
Switch.
VT100 – A type of terminal which uses ASCII characters. VT100 screens have a text-based appearance.
