How to link with 16 port switch with 8 port switch

PANEL1: Front Panel Header for Biostar N68S3+ from

http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=506#dl

This 16-pin connector includes Power-on, Reset, HDD LED, Power LED, and speaker connection. It allows user to connect the PC case's front panel switch functions. Pin #1 has a black square on the motherboard and the pins are oriented from 1-8, left to right, bottom row and 9-16, left to right, top row. You will notice that there is no #11 pin.

pin #'s

1-2-3-4 Speaker (1+, 4-)
5-6 hard drive LED (5+, 6-)
7-8 reset switch (7-, 8+)
9-10-11 N/A (not used)

12-13-14 power LED (12+, 14-) ** only if power wire is 3 port connector **
13-14 power LED (13+, 14-) ** only if power wire is 2 port connector **

15-16 power button (15+, 16-)

Did this solve your problem?

D-link 8 ports switch (modle no:DES-1008A,H/W Ver:D1,S/N:Q90K1C6008005) is not working. Pwr led is not blink. how can I trace its? Please.

It support until 80 meters

Yes it can be repaired. You will need to hunt around for a circuit diagram for it. I have four of these old things in commission at home here and this exact thing happened to one of them. I ran a multimeter over the power supply circuit board (top left) and found one of the capacitors out of spec. The resulting limited power to the rest of the unit meant that it couldn't cope with traffic on all ports. Replaced and fixed the problem. Needed soldering iron and multimeter. Good luck, hope this helps.

You would be better buying a "switch" rather than another router.

you simply run one cable from the router to the switch, and the other ports are used to connect your extra PCs.

be sure to get a switch with enough ports on it. They typically come in 5, 8, 12 or 16 ports. And remember, one port on the switch will be used by the router.

i found that there is a MDI uplink port for cascading


Dlink DES-1016D 16-port 10/100 Switch
Product Features

• 16 10/100Mbps ports
• Full/half duplex support for each port
• MDI uplink port for easy expansion Expansion is easy through a MDI uplink port. You cascade several switches together through this port to get more ports.
• Auto-learning of network configuration
• Flow control in full duplex mode for protection against data loss
• Back pressure in half duplex mode
• RAM buffer dynamically allocated for each port

What's Included?

• DES-1016D Network Switch
• Quick Installation Guide
• CD ROM

your ISP cable shuld be go to WAN or DSL port means main cat5 cable.

um, each switch will have a starting number of open ports, it is best to choose a switch that has enough to start your project, and a few open spares, that can be used later, as you expand the network. switches are sold in a 4 port 8, 16, 24, 48, 64, 128 ports. you can also link two switches, to add more workstations, it would be better to have one switch, with as many open ports as needed, rather than linking. So plan ahead, and leave a few open ports for later upgrades

I had the same issue with the 8 port prosafe GS108.
open the case, look for the small (barel like shape) capacitors near the power connector.
Their top is mostly silver and should be FLAT, if it is uneven or slightly expanded as if ready to explode, that is the one that need replacement.
Best source is any old motherboard or if you prefer, buy a couple new ones.
6.3 Volt, 1000mF (micro Farad)

If you cannot determin which one is gone, just replace both or how many your switch has.
