LIMITED WARRANTY
D-Link Systems, Inc. (“D-Link”) provides this limited warranty for its
product only to the person or entity who originally purchased the product
from D-Link or its authorized reseller or distributor.
Limited Hardware Warranty: D-Link warrants that the hardware
portion of the D-Link products described below (“Hardware”) will be free
from material defects in workmanship and materials from the date of
original retail purchase of the Hardware, for the period set forth below
applicable to the product type (“Warranty Period”) if the Hardware is used
and serviced in accordance with applicable documentation; provided that a
completed Registration Card is returned to an Authorized D-Link Service
Office within ninety (90) days after the date of original retail purchase of the
Hardware. If a completed Registration Card is not received by an
authorized D-Link Service Office within such ninety (90) period, then the
Warranty Period shall be ninety (90) days from the date of purchase.
Product Type Warranty Period
Product (excluding power supplies and
fans), if purchased and delivered in the fifty
(50) United States, or the District of
Columbia (“USA”)
As long as the
original purchaser
still owns the
product
Product purchased or delivered outside the USA One (1) Year
Power Supplies and Fans One (1) Year
Spare parts and spare kits Ninety (90) days
D-Link’s sole obligation shall be to repair or replace the defective Hardware
at no charge to the original owner. Such repair or replacement will be
rendered by D-Link at an Authorized D-Link Service Office. The
replacement Hardware need not be new or of an identical make, model or
part; D-Link may in its discretion may replace the defective Hardware (or
any part thereof) with any reconditioned product that D-Link reasonably
determines is substantially equivalent (or superior) in all material respects

iii
to the defective Hardware. The Warranty Period shall extend for an
additional ninety (90) days after any repaired or replaced Hardware is
delivered. If a material defect is incapable of correction, or if D-Link
determines in its sole discretion that it is not practical to repair or replace
the defective Hardware, the price paid by the original purchaser for the
defective Hardware will be refunded by D-Link upon return to D-Link of the
defective Hardware. All Hardware (or part thereof) that is replaced by D-
Link, or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the property
of D-Link upon replacement or refund.
Limited Software Warranty: D-Link warrants that the software portion
of the product (“Software”) will substantially conform to D-Link’s then
current functional specifications for the Software, as set forth in the
applicable documentation, from the date of original delivery of the Software
for a period of ninety (90) days (“Warranty Period”), if the Software is
properly installed on approved hardware and operated as contemplated in
its documentation. D-Link further warrants that, during the Warranty
Period, the magnetic media on which D-Link delivers the Software will be
free of physical defects. D-Link’s sole obligation shall be to replace the non-
conforming Software (or defective media) with software that substantially
conforms to D-Link’s functional specifications for the Software. Except as
otherwise agreed by D-Link in writing, the replacement Software is
provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and
conditions of the license granted by D-Link for the Software. The Warranty
Period shall extend for an additional ninety (90) days after any replacement
Software is delivered. If a material non-conformance is incapable of
correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it is not
practical to replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by the
original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by D-
Link; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof) is
first returned to D-Link. The license granted respecting any Software for
which a refund is given automatically terminates.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the features of the DES-1008D and some
background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching
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
have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve
client/server response times. Among them, 100BASE-T (Fast
Ethernet) provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution from the
current 10BASE-T technology. The non-disruptive and smooth
evolution nature, and the dominating potential market base, virtually
guarantee cost effective and high performance Fast Ethernet solutions
in the years to come.
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a new standard specified by the IEEE802.3
LANcommittee. It is an extension of the 10Mbps Ethernet standard
with the ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps, while
maintaining the CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Since the 100Mbps
Fast Ethernet is compatible with all other 10Mbps Ethernet
environments, it provides a straightforward upgrade and takes
advantage of the existing investment in hardware, software, and
personnel training.
Switching Technology
Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology
is the development of switching technology. A switchbridges
