There are heat vents located on the side opposite the fans. The fans and the vents help to cool the DES-3224. Always leave two inches of space around the DES-3224 so that air can circulate and cool the DES-3224.

Management Methods
The DES-3224 supports three management methods:
∙Local Console Management
∙Telnet Management
∙D-View/ SNMP Management
Local Console Management
Local Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console port. The RS-232 port is located at the rear of the DES-3224. Managing the DES-3224 in this mode requires a direct connection between a PC and the DES-3224.
Telnet Management
Telnet is done over the network. Once the DES-3224 is on the network, you can use Telnet to log in and change the configuration.
D-View/ SNMP Management
The DES-3224 supports SNMP through D-View, D-Link’s proprietary SNMP application and through other vendors’ SNMP applications. Please refer to the appropriate documentation for instructions on installing and using D-View and other SNMP applications.
