FCC Warning
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the regulations for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
this user’s guide, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his/her own expense.
CE Mark Warning
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference, in which
case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
VCCI Warning
UL Warning
a) Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature- If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
b) Reduced Air Flow- Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
c) Mechanical Loading- capitalize of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
d) Circuit Overloading- Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
e) Reliable Earthing- Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use
of power strips).
f) The Installation instructions clearly state that the ITE is to be connected only to POE networks without
routing to the outside plant.

About This Guide
This guide provides instructions to install the D-Link DES-1018P/MP switches.
Terms/Usage
In this guide, the term “Switch” (first letter capitalized) refers to the DES-1018P/MP, and “switch” (first letter
lower case) refers to other Ethernet switches. Some technologies refer to terms “switch”, “bridge” and
“switching hubs” interchangeably, and both are commonly accepted for Ethernet switches.
A NOTE indicates important information to use
the device properly.
A CAUTION indicates potential property damage
or personal injury.

1 Product Introduction
The DES-1018MP and DES-1018P are unmanaged switches with 16 10/100 Mbps ports and two Gigabit
combo uplink ports. The first 8 10/100M ports of DES-1018P and all 16 10/100M ports of DES-1018MP
support IEEE 802.3af PoE and are capable of feeding power up to 15.4 watts per port. The DES-1018P/MP
switches are easy to install and require no configuration. This simplicity is useful for SOHO and SMB users
who have limited budgets but require PoE capability in a switch.
