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 an d safety. Also, refer to the rack installation documentation accompanyin g
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.
viii
xStack® DGS-3200 Series Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch
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.
• 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.
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 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.
CAUTION: When mounting the Switch on a cement wall, a proper concrete sleeve
anchor should be used, such as the one that is included in the optional D-Link Wall Mount
kit (DRE-KIT018).

Lithium Battery Precaution
CAUTION: Incorrectly replacing the lithium battery of the Switch may cause the battery to
explode. Replace this battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside the system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your
body before touching any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. This can be done by periodically touching an
unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
The following steps can also be taken 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 ready to install the component in the 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.

DEM-312GT2 (1000BASE-SX), DEM-314GT (10 00BASE-LH) and DEM-315GT (1000BASE-ZX) tran sceivers. See the figure
below for installing the SFP ports in the Switch. In addition, DEM-210 (Single Mode, 100BASE-FX) and DEM-211* (Multi
Mode, 100BASE-FX) SFP transceivers are supported. WDM transceivers supported inclu de DEM-330T (TX-1550/RX-1310 nm),
DEM-330R (TX-1310/RX-1550nm), DEM-331T (TX-1550/RX-1310nm), and DEM-331R (TX1310/RX-1550).

NOTE: *The fiber-optic transceiver module DEM-211 may fail to link when inserted into
the SFP ports if the two combo copper ports are both in linking status. The solution to this
limitation is to remove the combo copper cable before using this module. Only module
DEM-211 has this limitation.

Switch to Switch
Connecting To Network Backbone or Server
NOTE: All high-performance N-Way 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 Network Interface Card (NIC) and routers.
An end node connects to the Switch via a twisted-pair UTP/STP cable. Connect the end node to any of the 1000BASE-T ports of
the Switch.
The Link/Act LEDs for each UTP port will light green or amber when the link is valid. A blinking LED indicates packet activity
on that port.
Switch to Switch
There is a great deal of flexibility on how connections are made using the appropriate cabling.
• Connect a 10BASE-T hub or switch to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP cable.
• Connect a 100BASE-TX hub or switch to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 5 UTP/STP cable.
• Connect 1000BASE-T switch to the Switch via a twisted pair Category 5e UTP/STP cable.
• Connect switch supporting a fiber-optic uplink to the Switch’s SFP ports via fiber-optic cabling. See cabling guidelines in
Appendix B for more information.
