This document describes the technical specifications and features of TP-LINK TL-SG1016D 16-Port Gigabit Switch and TL-SG1024D 24-Port Gigabit Switch.
This guide provides an overview of the TL‑SG1016D and TL‑SG1024D Gigabit Ethernet switches, describing their features such as non‑blocking switching architecture, auto‑MDI/MDIX, LED indicators, and desktop or rack‑mountable steel cases. It explains how to install the switches, connect power, and configure basic operation without any required setup.
The manual also includes safety precautions, grounding instructions, troubleshooting tips for LED status and cable length, and contact information for TP‑Link support.

Connect the supplied AC power cord to the AC Power Socket on the rear panel and ensure the power source is turned on.
The POWER LED lights solid red when the switch is powered. The Link/Act LED lights solid green for a link and flashes green during activity. The 1000Mbps LED lights solid green when the port operates at 1000 Mbps; it is off for 10/100 Mbps.
The Ethernet cable must be less than 100 meters (328 feet) long.
Connect the grounding terminal on the rear panel to a PE (protecting earth) using a grounding cable.
