SETUP
BEFORE SETTING UP THE DES-1018MP
Please follow the steps below to set up the switch:
1. Install the DES-1018MP in a cool and dry place. Refer to the Technical Specications for the
acceptable operating temperature and humidity ranges.
2. Install the switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic source, vibration, dust, and direct
sunlight.
3. Leave at least 10 cm of space at the left and right-hand side of the switch for ventilation.
4. Visually inspect the power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power adapter.
Do not stack any device on top of the switch.
INSTALL THE POWER CORD RETAINER
To prevent accidental removal of the power cord, it is recommended to install the power cord
retainer together with the power cord.
2. Plug the power cord into the power socket of the

of the DES-1018MP. The Power LED will illuminate conrming that the device has powered
up successfully.
B. PoE PORTS (PORTS 1 - 16)
The PoE ports can supply up to a total PoE budget of 246.4 watts, allowing users to attach
an IEEE 802.3af compliant device to the DES-1018MP.
16 PoE Ports
3. Slide the retainer through the tie until it reaches the
end of the cord.
INSTALL THE POWER CORD RETAINER
4. Wrap the tie of the retainer around the power cord
and back into the retainer to lock it.
Fasten the tie until the power cord is secured.
