• Four rubber feet
• Wall mounting kit

The DGS-1016S will conserve energy automatically through several methods:
1. The switch can detect when a connected device is shut down or when there is no Ethernet traffic
and can automatically reduce the power used for that port, cutting power usage substantially.
2. The switch optimizes power usage for each port for the length of cable connected to it, using only
as much power as is required.
Energy-efficient and Eco-friendly

Step 1
Plug the supplied power adapter into the switch and the other end into a power outlet. Verify
