service time and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU
speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and software used, etc.) Note
anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages you get when the problem
occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,
and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return merchandize
authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your return
more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and Replacement
Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt)

Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.
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.
Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush
of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive elec-
tronic components.

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.
Make sure the cabling is positioned away from equipment that can damage the
cables.
Operating environment is within the ranges listed range, see “Specifications” on
page 1.
Relative humidity around the switch does not exceed 95 percent (noncondens-
ing).
Altitude at the installation site is not higher than 10,000 feet.
In 10/100 and 10/100/1000 fixed port devices, the cable length from the switch
to connected devices can not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Make sure airflow around the switch and respective vents is unrestricted. With-
out proper airflow the switch can overheat. To prevent performance degradation
and damage to the switch, make sure there is clearance at the top and bottom
and around the exhaust vents.
2.1.1 Connecting Hardware
In this instruction, it will explain how to find a proper location for your Modbus Gate-
ways, and how to connect to the network, hock up the power cable, and connect to
the EKI-5729PI & EKI-5624PI.

10 EKI-5729PI & EKI-5624PI User Manual
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. Once the switch passes POST self-test, the System LED turns green.
The other LEDs turn off and return to their operating status. If the switch fails POST,
the System LED switches to an amber state.
After a successful self-test, power down the switch and disconnect the power cabling.
The switch is now ready for installation on its final location.

EKI-5729PI & EKI-5624PI User Manual 11
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. The devices can be
mounted vertically or horizontally. Refer to the following guidelines for further infor-
mation.
Installing the DIN-Rail Mounting Kit
1. Insert the top back of the mounting bracket over the DIN rail.
2. Push the bottom of the switch towards the DIN rail until it snaps into place.
\
Figure 2.1 Installing the DIN-Rail Mounting Kit
Removing the DIN-Rail Mounting Kit
1. Push the switch down to free the bottom of the plate from the DIN rail.
2. Rotate the bottom of the device towards you and away from the DIN rail.
Note! A corrosion-free mounting rail is advisable.
When installing, make sure to allow for enough space to properly install
the cabling.
