INTRODUCTION 

The RocketLinx ES9528 and ES9528-XT are rack mount 24+4G managed industrial Ethernet switches that 
are equipped with 24 10/100 BASE-TX ports plus four Gigabit RJ45 / mini GBIC combo ports. This special 
design is perfect for control rooms where high-port density and performance are required. 

The four Gigabit combo port design allows 10/100/1000BASE-TX, and the SFP ports accept all types of 
Gigabit SFP transceivers, including Gigabit SX, LX, LHX, ZX, and XD for several connection types and 
distances. 

See the Comtrol web site for detailed product specifications for your model. The RocketLinx ES9528 and 
ES9528-XT are referred to as the ES9528 in this guide.

90 to 264VAC. 

Mount the ES9528 into a Rack 

Use the following procedure to mount the ES9528 into a rack. 

1.

 

Ground the ES9528 using the earth ground screw on the back of the unit. Loosen the ground screw 

with a screwdriver; then tighten the screw after earth ground wire is connected. 

2.

 

Attach the brackets to the ES9528 by using the screws provided in the rack mount kit. 

3.

 

Mount the ES9528 in a 19-inch rack by using four rack mounting screws provided in the kit. 

Note

When installing multiple switches in high temperature environments, reserve 0.5U-1U of free 

space between the switches

Temperature

: Verify that the rack environment temperature conforms to the specified operating 

temperature range. 

Mechanical Loading

: Do not place any equipment on top of the switch. In a high vibration environment,
