Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 Preventive and Cautionary Tips
Before installation, put on anti-static gloves.
During the installation, power off your switch.
Use the attached power adapter or power cord to connect the switch to power supply.
The input voltage range must be consistent with the voltage range of the power adapter and
switch.
Ensure the switch is installed in a well-ventilated position.
Do not open or dismantle the shell of the switch.
Cut off power supply before cleaning the switch. Do not clean the switch with any liquid.
Keep the switch away from power line, electric light, and power grid.
2.2 Working Environment Requirements
2.2.1 Temperature and Humidity
In order to ensure normal working and operation life of the switch, room temperature and
humidity must be kept at certain level.
If room humidity is too high for a long time, insulating materials may be ineffective or even
lead to electricity leakage, mechanical performance of materials may change, and metal
components may be rust, etc.
If relative humidity is too low in the room, insulating gaskets may shrink, which leads to the
loosening of screws and static electricity, and damages circuit of your switch.
If room temperature is too high for a long time, insulating materials may be aging in a fast
speed, which substantially reduces the reliability of your switch and seriously impacts its
operation life.
2.2.2 Static Electricity Protection
Dust may lead to electrostatic adsorption. To protect the device from static electricity harm, pay
attention to the following requirements:
Keep the environment air clean. A regular dusting is necessary.
Make sure the device is grounded well.

2.2.3 Lightning Protection
In thunderstorm weather, a sudden strong current may damage the switch. To protect your switch
from lightning strike or strong current, please:
Make sure the switch, rack, installation desktop, and power socket on the wall all are
well-grounded.
Route the switch cables properly.
If you need to route cables outdoors, it is advised to use a lightning arrester.
2.2.4 Installation Position
No matter whether your switch is installed on a rack or desktop, follow the instructions below:
Make sure the rack or desktop be stable and firm enough.
The room must be well-ventilated. Keep at least 10 cm distance between all sides for cooling.
Do not place any heavy or big-size object on the switch.
Keep at least 1.5 cm vertical distance between each switch while installing it on a rack.
2.3 Installation
DS-3E0518P and DS-3E0526P series switches only support rack installation. Follow the steps below
for rack installation.
The following panel is the front panel of the switch. For details about the ports, see section
Appearance.
Step 1 Check the grounding and stability of the rack.
Step 2 Use the attached screws to fix the two L-shaped brackets to the sides of the switch.
Figure 2-1 Install L-Shaped Brackets
Step 3 Place your switch on the rack, fix it to the rack with self-prepared screws, and ensure the
stable installation of your switch to the rack.

Figure 2-2 Fix Switch to Rack
Do not place any heavy object on the switch in case of any incident.
Make sure sound cooling and ventilation.
2.4 Grounding
Purpose:
Grounding is used to quickly release overvoltage and overcurrent induced by lightening for switch,
and to protect personal safety. Select the appropriate grounding method according to your needs.
2.4.1 With Grounding Bar
If a grounding bar is available at the installation site, follow the steps below.
Step 1 Connect one end of the grounding cable to the binding post on the grounding bar.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the grounding cable to the switch grounding terminal and fix the
screw.

16/24-Port Gigabit PoE Switch Quick Start Guide

Figure 2-3 Grounding with Grounding Bar
Connect the grounding cable to the grounding system in the equipment room. Do not connect it to
a fire main or lightning rod.
2.4.2 Without Grounding Bar
If there is no grounding bar but earth is nearby and the grounding body is allowed to be buried,
follow the steps below.
Step 1 Bury an angle steel or steel pipe (≥ 0.5 m) into the mud land.
Step 2 Weld one end of the grounding cable to the angle steel or steel pipe and embalm the
welding point via electroplating or coating.
Step 3 Connect the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding terminal.

Figure 2-4 Grounding with Angle Steel
If it is not proper to bury the grounding body, an AC-powered Ethernet switch can be grounded by
using the PE (Protective Earth) wire of the AC power supply. The prerequisite is that the power
cord of the switch should adopt 3-pin cable with protective earth wire, and the AC power supply
protective earth wire has been well grounded on the side of distribution room or AC power supply
transformer.

Chapter 3 Physical Connection
3.1 Connecting PoE Port
Use a network cable to connect your switch to the PoE ports of an opposite end device. The PoE
ports can connect with network camera, IP camera, NVR, switch, etc.
Figure 3-1 PoE Port Connection
3.2 Connecting Gigabit SFP Fiber Optical Port
This section uses dual-fiber SFP optical module as an example.
Do not bend fiber optic (curvature radius ≥10 cm) overly.
Do not look directly at fiber optic connector because laser is harmful to eyes.
Step 1 Connect the two paired SFP optical module with an optical fiber.
Step 2 Hold SFP optical module from one side, and smoothly plug it into the switch along with the
SFP port slot until optical module and the switch are closely attached.

Step 3 After powering on your switch, check the status of Link/Act indicator. If the indicator is lit,
the link is connected. If the indicator is unlit, the link is disconnected. Check the line, and
make sure opposite devices have been started. For more details, see section Indicator.
3.3 Checking the Cabling
Before powering your switch, make sure that:
The operating power supply is compliant with rated input standard.
Port cables and grounding cables are correctly connected.
If there is outdoor cabling, connect a lightning rod and lightening arrester to the cable.
