Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from damage.
1. To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis before you
work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other cards while the PC is
on.
2. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush of power
as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive electronic components.

CHAPTER

Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
Aside from 16 x 10/100Base-TX fast Ethernet port, the long MTBF (Mean Time
Between Failures) ensures that the EKI-7526I is a cost-effective solution and meets the
high reliability requirements demanded by industrial applications.
1.1.1 High-Speed Transmissions
The EKI-7526I includes a switch controller that can automatically sense transmission
speeds (10/100 Mbps). The RJ-45 interface can also be auto-detected, so MDI or MDI-
X is automatically selected and a crossover cable is not required. All Ethernet ports
have memory buffers that support the store-and-forward mechanism. This assures that
data is properly transmitted.
1.1.2 Dual Power Input
EKI-7526I redundant power input design is with power reserve protection to prevent
the switch device broken by wrong power wiring. When one of power input is fail, P-
Fail LED will turn on and send an alarm through a relay output for notifying user.
1.1.3 Flexible Mounting
EKI-7526I is extremely compact (79 x 152 x 105 mm) and can be mounted on a DIN-
rail or a panel, so it is suitable for any space-constrained environment.
1.1.4 Advanced Protection
EKI-7526I supports up to 3,000 VDC EFT protection for power line, and also supports
4,000VDC ESD protection for Ethernet ports. With these 2 strong protections, it can
secure equipment against unregulated voltage and make systems safer and more
reliable. Further, EKI-7526I provides currency overload protection with a resettable
fuse to ensure that the device component won’t be damaged by overload current.
1.1.5 Wide Operating Temperature
The operating temperature of the EKI-7526I is between -40 ~ 75 ℃. With such a wide
range, you can use the EKI-7526I in some of the harshest industrial environments that
exist.
1.1.6 Easy Troubleshooting
LED indicators make troubleshooting quick and easy. Each 10/100 Base-TX port has 2
LEDs that display the link status, transmission speed and collision status. Also the
three power indicators P1, P2 and P-Fail help you diagnose immediately.
