Quick Install Guide
D-Link Green Technology implements special power-saving features while using gigabit speeds that 
detectcable lengthandlink status,andwilladjust powerusageaccordingly.GreenTechnologysaves
energy in two specic ways:
1.  If there is no link on a port (when there is no connection or the device connected is turned 
o) the port(s) will enter a “sleep mode” which will drastically reduce the amount of power 
used.
2. D-Link Green Technology detects the lengthof connected Ethernet cable and adjusts
power usage accordingly without aecting performance. This way, a port connected to 
a 20m or under cable only uses as much power as it needs, instead of using full power, 
which is only needed for 100m cables.
This product is IEEE 802.3az Energy Eciency Ethernet compliant. The IEEE 802.3az EEE standard denes 
mechanisms and protocols intended to reduce the energy consumption of network links during periods 
of low utilization, by transitioning interfaces into a low-power state without interrupting the network 
connection. 
Both connected devices must support 802.3az EEE for power saving support. If the connected device 
does not support 802.3az EEE, the switch will default to D-Link’s Green Technology of power saving.
D-Link Green Technology
Power Indicator - This green indicator light is on when the Switch is receiving power; otherwise, it is o.
Link/Act - This LED indicator light is green when the port is successfully connected to a 1000Mbps, 
100Mbps, or 10Mbps device and will blink as data is transmitted or received.  
LEDs
Connecting the Switch
Step 1
Plug the supplied power adapter into the Switch and the other end into a power outlet, power strip, 
orsurgeprotector(recommended).VerifythePowerindicatorislitontheSwitch.
Step 2
ConnectoneendofanEthernetcableinthedeviceyouwanttoconnecttotheSwitchandtheother
endintooneoftheEthernetportsontheSwitch.ChecktheLinklights(LEDs)onboththeSwitchand
the device to verify that the cable is good and that there is a valid connection.
Note: A Category 5e (or higher) Ethernet cable must be used for 1000Mbps or higher operation.
