Hardware Installation 

Before You Begin

Observe the following precautions to help prevent 

shutdowns, equipment failures, and personal injury:
•  Install the DGS-1010MP in a cool and dry 

place. Refer to the technical specifications in 

the user manual for the acceptable operating 

temperature and humidity ranges.

•  Install the switch in a site free from strong 

electromagnetic sources, vibration, dust, and 

direct sunlight.

•  Leave at least 10 cm of space to the left and right-

hand side of the switch for ventilation.

•  Visually inspect the power connector and make 

sure that it is fully secured to the power cord.

•  Do not stack any devices on top of the switch.

The included rubber feet can be placed on the 

bottom of the device to prevent it from damaging 

the surface it is placed on.
1.  Remove the rubber feet from the backing.

2.  Stick one pad on each corner on the bottom  of 

the switch.

Grounding the Switch

This step must be completed before powering on 

the switch.

Required tools and equipment for grounding

•  Grounding screw (included) and one M4x6 

(metric) pan-head screw (not included).

•  Grounding cable (not included). The grounding 

cable should be sized according to local and 

national installation requirements. Depending 

on the power supply and system, a 12 to 6 AWG 

copper conductor is required for installation. 

Commercially available 6 AWG wire is 

recommended. The length of the cable depends 

on the proximity of the switch to proper 

grounding facilities.

•  A screwdriver (not included).

Note: 

Verify that the system is powered off.

1.  Remove the grounding screw from the back of 

the device and place the #8 terminal lug ring of 

the grounding cable on top of the grounding 

screw opening.

2.  Insert the grounding screw back into the screw 

opening and use a screwdriver to tighten the 

grounding screw.
