    Site preparations VEP4600 is universal customer premise equipment (uCPE). To connect the service provider edge or enterprise branch to the cloud, use VEP4600 to host multiple virtual network functions (VNFs), such as SD-WAN, routing, firewall, and deep-packet inspection. For more information about platform specifications, see Specifications.

  • Page 14: Rack Mounting

    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. When you install two VEP4600 platforms near each other, to permit proper airflow, position the two platforms at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart.

  • Page 15: Storing Components

    Storing components If you do not install your VEP4600 and components immediately, properly store the platform and all optional components using these guidelines: • Storage location temperature must remain constant. The storage range is from -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F).
