Fans And Airflow; Power; Storing Components - Dell EMC SD-WAN Edge 600 Series Installation Manual

Fans and airflow

Fan installation is done at the factory. The Edge 600 Series supports forced airflow from the sides and back of the enclosure.
• Two-core—no fan
• Four-core—single fans
• Eight-core—two fans
• Sixteen-core—two fans
Position the platform in a well-ventilated environment with clearance around the exhaust vents. The fan speed varies based on internal
temperature monitoring. The platform never intentionally turns off the fans.
NOTE: The Edge 600 Series fans are not field-replaceable.

Power

To connect the platform to the applicable power source, use the appropriate power cable.
When installing DC platforms, follow the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, where applicable.
The platform is powered-up when you connect the power cable between the platform and the power source.

Storing components

If you do not install your Edge 600 Series platform and components immediately, properly store the platform and all components using
these guidelines:
• Storage location temperature must remain constant. The storage range is from -40°C to 70°C (-40° 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 accessories. After you remove the original packaging, place the Edge 600 Series
platform and components on an anti-static surface.
