Grounding the Industrial Rackmount Switch
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
Connecting the Power Inputs
The ICS-G7526A/G7528A/G7826A/G7828A switches support dual
redundant power supplies: Power Supply 1 (PWR1) and Power Supply 2
(PWR2). The connections for PWR1 and PWR2 are located on the rear side
(shown below). Be sure to use a standard power cord with an IEC C13
connector, which is compatible with the AC power inlet.

Wiring the Relay Contact
Each ICS-G7526A/G7528A/G7826A/G7828A switch has one relay output.
FAULT:
The relay contact of the 4-pin terminal block connector is used to detect
user-configured events. The two wires attached to the fault contacts form
an open circuit when a user-configured event is triggered. If a
user-configured event does not occur, the fault circuit remains closed.
USB Console Connection
The ICS-G7526A/G7528A/G7826A/G7828A series has one USB console
port (type B connector), located on the top panel. Use the USB cable
(provided in the product package) to connect the
ICS-G7526A/G7528A/G7826A/G7828A's console port to your PC's USB
port and install the USB driver (available in the software CD) on the PC.
You may then use a console terminal program, such as Moxa PComm
Terminal Emulator, to access the
ICS-G7526A/G7528A/G7826A/G7828A’s console configuration utility.
USB Console Port (Type B Connector) Pinouts
USB Storage Connection
The ICS-G7526A/G7528A/G7826A/G7828A series has one USB storage
port (type A connector) on the front panel. Use Moxa ABC-02-USB
automatic backup configurator to connect the
ICS-G7526A/G7528A/G7826A/G7828A's USB storage port for
configuration backup, firmware upgrade or system log file backup.

The Reset Button
Depress the Reset button for five continuous seconds to load the factory
default settings. Use a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip or
toothpick, to depress the Reset button. When you do so, the STATE LED
will start to blink about once per second. Continue to depress the STATE
LED until it begins blinking more rapidly; this indicates that the button has
been depressed for five seconds and you can release the Reset button to
load factory default settings.

DO NOT power off the switch when loading default settings.
LED Indicators
The front panel of the ICS-G7526A/G7528A/G7826A/G7828A switches
contain several LED indicators. The function of each LED is described in
the table below.

Rack Mounting Instructions
1. Elevated Operating Ambient: If installed in a closed or multi-unit
rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
2. Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be
such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should
be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
4. Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the
connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that
overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment
should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g.
use of power strips)."
Restricted Access Locations
• This equipment is intended to be used in Restricted Access Locations,

chassis of equipment that is so hot that special protection may be
needed before touching it. The location should only be accessible with
a key or through a security identity system.
• External metal parts of this equipment are extremely hot!! Before
touching the equipment, you must take special precautions to protect
your hands and body from serious injury.
