Power; Storing Components - Dell Virtual Edge Platform 4600 Setup Manual

For proper ventilation, position the platform in an equipment rack or cabinet with a minimum
of 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around the exhaust vents. The fan speed varies based on
internal temperature monitoring. The platform never intentionally turns off the fans.

Power

Connect the platform to the applicable power source using the appropriate power cable. An
AC power cable is included with the platform.
When installing AC platforms, follow the requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA 70, where applicable.
The platform is powered-up when the power cable is connected between the platform and
the power source.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the power cable before you service the power supply
slots. The platform has multiple power cords. Before servicing, ensure that all power
cords are disconnected.
CAUTION: Use the power supply cable as the main disconnect device. Ensure that
the socket-outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.

Storing components

If you do not install the VEP4600 and components immediately, properly store the platform
and all optional components following these guidelines:
• Storage location temperature must remain constant. The storage range is from -40°C to
70°C (-40°F to 158°F).
• Store on a dry surface or floor, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air conditioning
ducts.
• Store in a dust-free environment.
NOTE: ESD damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an
ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the platform and its
accessories. After you remove the original packaging, place the VEP4600 and its
components on an anti-static surface.
