Installing and Connection
This chapter describes how to install a DFL-1660/
DFL-2560/DFL-2560G device in a standard
19-inch equipment rack and how to connect
network and power cables to the device.
Before You Begin
Observe the following precautions to help
prevent faults, equipment failures and injuries:
- Before installation, always disconnect the
power supply.
- Ensure that the room in which you operate
the device has adequate air circulation and
that the room temperature does not exceed
40˚C (104˚F).
- Allow 1 meter (3 feet) of clear space from the
front and back of the device.
- Do not place the device in an equipment rack
frame that blocks the air vents on the sides
of the chassis. Ensure that enclosed racks
have fans and vented sides.
- Correct any of the following hazardous
conditions before any installation: moist or
wet floors, leaks, ungrounded/frayed power
cables, or missing safety grounds.

Connecting Power and Turning On/Off
The AC Power cord shipped with the device
connects the device to earth ground when
plugged an AC grounding-type power outlet.
The device must be connected to earth ground
during normal operation.
To connect power to the device, plug one
end of the AC power core into the AC power
appliance inlet on the back panel of the device.
Plug the other end into an AC power source.
Note: D-Link recommends the use of a surge
protector with your power connection.
To power on the DFL-1660/DFL-2560/
DFL-2560G device, press the AC power switch
on the rear panel to the on position. To power
off the device, press the power switch to the off
