Grounding the Moxa 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.
Using a shielded cable achieves better electromagnetic
compatibility.
Connecting the Power Inputs
The IKS-6728A-8PoE switches support 4 types of power supply.
• IKS-6728A-8PoE-4GTXSFP-HV-HV-T: Two isolated 110/220 VAC (85
to 264 VAC) power supplies for switch and two isolated 48 VDC power
inputs for PoE+ ports
• IKS-6728A-8PoE-4GTXSFP-HV-T: One isolated 110/220 VAC (85 to
264 VAC) power supply for the switch and one isolated 48 VDC power
input for the PoE+ ports
• IKS-6728A-8PoE-4GTXSFP-48-48-T: Two isolated 48 VDC power
supplies for switch and PoE+ ports
• IKS-6728A-8PoE-4GTXSFP-48-T: One isolated 48 VDC power supply
for switch and PoE+ ports
For the HV models, the 110/220 VAC power supplies provide power for
switch operation. Separate 48 VDC power supplies are required to provide
power to all PoE+ ports (50 to 57 VDC is recommended for IEEE 802.3at
devices).
For the 48 VDC models, the 48 VDC power supplies provide power for
switch operation and to all PoE+ ports (50 to 57 VDC is recommended for
IEEE 802.3at devices).
The IKS-6700A switches support 3 types of power supply:
• IKS-6726A/6728A HV series: Two isolated 110/220VAC (85 to 264
VAC) power supplies for switch
• IKS-6726A/6728A 24/48VDC series: Two isolated 24 or 48VDC power
supplies for switch
Wiring Requirements
Do not disconnect modules or wires unless power has been
switched off or the
area is known to be non-hazardous. The
device may only be connected to the supply voltage shown on the
type plate. The device is designed for operation with a Safety
Extra
-Low Voltage (SELV) or an isolated power supply, which
means that they may only be co
nnected to the supply voltage
connections and to the signal contact with a SELV or an isolated
power supply in compliance with IEC 60950
AC Power Inlets
The connection for PWR1 (power supply 1) and PWR2 (power supply 2)
are located on the rear panel (shown below). Be sure to use a standard

- 5 -
power cord with an IEC C13 connector, which is compatible with the AC
power inlet.
DC Power Terminal Blocks
The connection for EPS1 (external power supply 1) / PWR1 (power supply
1) and EPS2 (external power supply 2) / PWR2 (power supply 2) are
located on the rear panel (shown below).
STEP 1: Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the V-/V+ terminals,
respectively.
STEP 2: To keep the DC wires from pulling loose, use a screwdriver to
tighten the wire-clamp screws.
Wiring the Relay Contact
Each switch has one relay output.
FAULT:
The relay contact of the 2-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 Connection
The switch has two USB ports, one type B USB-serial console port and one
type A USB host port, located on the front panel. Use a USB cable (type A
male to type B male) to connect the USB-serial console port to your PC's
COM 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’s
PComm Terminal Emulator, to access the console configuration utility of
the switch.

- 6 -
Use Moxa’s USB Automatic Backup Configurator ABC-02-USB to connect
to the USB host port to backup and restore configuration files, auto-load
configuration files, upgrade firmware, and backup system log files.
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 IKS switch contains several LED indicators. The
function of each LED is described in the table below.

*: On the IKS-6700A/IKS-6728A-8PoE-4GTXSFP-48-48-T model, both
PWR1 and PWR2 LED will be “On” with a single power input. This is
because both internal power units are operating as redundant secondary
power with the single input.

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 Grounding: Reliable grounding 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).
The rackmount ears can be equipped on the front or rear of Moxa
IKS-6700A/IKS-6728-8PoE switch.
