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.
Using the Switch on a Flat Surface
The included rubber pads can be placed on the
bottom of the device to prevent it from damaging
the surface it is placed on.
1. Remove the rubber pads from the adhesive strip.
2. Stick one pad on each corner on the bottom
panel 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.
