Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your
system from potential damage. Throughout this safety section, the caution icon ( ) is used to
indicate precautions that need to be reviewed and followed.
Safety Precautions
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment observe the
following precautions:
•Observe and follow service markings.
•Do not service any product except as explained in the system documentation.
•Opening or removing covers that are marked with the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt
may expose the user to electrical shock.
oOnly a trained service technician should service components inside these compartments.
•If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet and replace
the part or contact your trained service provider:
oDamage to the power cable, extension cable, or plug.
oAn object has fallen into the product.
oThe product has been exposed to water.
oThe product has been dropped or damaged.
oThe product does not operate correctly when the operating instructions are correctly
followed.
•Keep your system away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents.
•Do not push any objects into the openings of the system. Doing so can cause fire or electric
shock by shorting out interior components.
•Use the product only with approved equipment.
•Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.
•Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated on the electrical
ratings label. If unsure of the type of power source required, consult your service provider or
local power company.
•To help avoid damaging the system, be sure the voltage selection switch (if provided) on the
power supply is set to match the power available at the Switch’s location:
o115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern
countries such as South Korea and Taiwan
o100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan
o230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
•Also, be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in
your location.
•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 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
using an extension cable is necessary, 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 the 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.

DGS-1510 Series Gigabit Ethernet SmartPro Switch Hardware Installation Guide
vii
•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:
oInstall the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power supply.
oUnplug the power cable before removing the power supply.
oIf 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.
•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.

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 to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
•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.
•When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
•Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads,
workbench pads and an antistatic grounding strap.

The AC power connector is a standard three-pronged connector that supports the power cord. Plug-in
the female connector of the provided power cord into this socket, and the male side of the cord into a
power outlet. The Switch automatically adjusts the power setting to any supply voltage in the range
from 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz.
Side Panel Components
On the side panels of the Switch there are heat vents and fans to dissipate heat. Do not block these
openings. Leave at least 6 inches of space at the rear and sides of the Switch for proper ventilation.
Without proper heat dissipation and air circulation, system components might overheat which could
lead to system failure or even severely damaged components.
