Platform Power-Up; Power Up Sequence - Dell Virtual Edge Platform 4600 Setup Manual

Platform power-up

Supply power to the VEP4600 after you mount it in a rack or cabinet.
Reinspect your platform before power-up. Verify the following:
• The equipment is properly secured to the rack. Dell EMC recommends properly
grounding the platform.
• The ambient temperature around the unit, which may be higher than the room
temperature, is within the limits specified for the VEP4600, see Specifications.
• There is sufficient airflow around the unit.
• The input circuits are correctly sized for the loads and that you use sufficient overcurrent
protection devices.
• All protective covers are in place.
• Blank panels are installed if you do not install optional modules.
CAUTION: Do not power up the platform if you did not install a fan module.
NOTE: A US AC power cable is included for powering up an AC power supply. You
must order all other power cables separately.
NOTE: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-
preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the platform and its
components.

Power up sequence

When the platform powers up, the fans immediately come on at high speed. The fan speed
slows as the platform continues to boot up.
