2.1 Installation Guidelines The following guidelines are provided to optimize the device performance. Review the guidelines before installing the device. Make sure cabling is away from sources of electrical noise. Radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures can interference with the device performance. ...
2.2 Verifying Switch Operation Before installing the device in a rack or on a wall, power on the switch to verify that the switch passes the power-on self-test (POST). To connect the cabling to the power source see “Power Supply Installation” on page 16. At startup (POST), the System LED blinks green, while the remaining LEDs are a solid green.
2.3 Installing the Switch 2.3.1 DIN Rail Mounting The DIN rail mount option is the quickest installation option. Additionally, it optimizes the use of rail space. The metal DIN rail kit is secured to the rear of the switch. The device can be mounted onto a standard 35mm (1.37”) x 75 mm (3”) height DIN rail.
Once the bottom is clear of the DIN rail, lift the device straight up to unhook it from the DIN rail. DIN Rail Figure 2.2 Removing the DIN-Rail 2.3.2 Wall-Mounting The wall mounting option provides better shock and vibration resistance than the DIN rail vertical mount.
Page 22
Secure the wall mount plates with M3 screws, see the following figure. Figure 2.3 Installing Wall Mount Plates Once the wall mounting plates are secure on the device, you will need to attach the wall screws (x6). Locate the installation site and place the switch against the wall, making sure it is the final installation location.
Page 23
Align the wall mount plate over the screws on the wall. Install the wall mount plate on the screws and slide it forward to lock in place, see the following figure. Figure 2.5 Wall Mount Installation Once the device is installed on the wall, tighten the screws to secure the device. EKI-5729PI &...
2.4 Connecting the Switch to Ethernet Ports 2.4.1 RJ45 Ethernet Cable Wiring For RJ45 connectors, data-quality, twisted pair cabling (rated CAT5 or better) is rec- ommended. The connector bodies on the RJ45 Ethernet ports are metallic and con- nected to the GND terminal. For best performance, use shielded cabling. Shielded cabling may be used to provide further protection.
2.5 Power Supply Installation 2.5.1 Overview Warning! Power down and disconnect the power cord before servicing or wiring the switch. Caution! Do not disconnect modules or cabling unless the power is first switched off. The device only supports the voltage outlined in the type plate. Do not use any other power components except those specifically designated for the switch device.
Make sure to separate input and output wiring. Label all wiring and cabling to the various devices for more effective manage- ment and servicing. Note! Routing communications and power wiring through the same conduit may cause signal interference. To avoid interference and signal degra- dation, route power and communications wires through separate con- duits.
By connecting the ground terminal by drain wire to earth ground the switch and chas- sis can be ground. Note! Before applying power to the grounded switch, it is advisable to use a volt meter to ensure there is no voltage difference between the power supply’s negative output terminal and the grounding point on the switch.
Page 28
Make sure the power is not connected to the switch or the power converter before proceeding. Loosen the screws securing terminal block to the terminal block receptor. Remove the terminal block from the switch. Figure 2.11 Removing a Terminal Block Insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver in the V1+/V1- wire-clamp screws, and loosen the screws.
Page 29
If there is no gap between the terminal block and the terminal receptor, the ter- minal block is seated correctly. Figure 2.13 Securing a Terminal Block to a Receptor EKI-5729PI & EKI-5624PI User Manual...
