The DXS410 DX Switch can be used in a number of applications. Dolphin provides 
specific application software to support these various applications. This software is nec-

1.4 Hardware Installation Procedure

1. Remove the chassis from the box

2. Connect main power (100-240VAC) using the provided AC power cord or a region-

ally appropriate AC power cord to the DXS410 power connector, which is located 
on the front of the chassis see Figure 1–1. The power supply will accept any voltage 
from 100V to 240VAC at frequency of 50-60Hz. 

Figure 1–1 AC Power Inlet

3. Turn on the AC power switch on the front of the DXS410. This will apply AC 

power to the chassis. 

4. The DXS410 switch will go through a self test. You will observe that for 0.5 sec-

onds the 10 Port LEDs turn green and that the red alarm LED along with the green 
power LED turn on. Then for 0.5 seconds, the 10 Port LEDs turn yellow while the 
other 2 LEDs stay on. The 10 Port LEDs and the Alarm LED will then turn off 
while the power LED is kept on.

5. Insert one or more cables into the connectors on the front of the switch box. The 

connectors are labeled for x4 or x8 operation as show in Figure 1–2.
