Issues to consider when installing the DLm8500 VTEC equipment into a third-party
rack in the field.
DLm VTEC equipment delivery in a Mini-rack
If a customer intends to install the DLm VTEC equipment (VTE servers, 1 GbE
management switches, 10 GbE data switches, sliding service tray) from a DLm8500
Single Rack Solution or a DLm8500 Single Rack HA Solution system into a third-party
rack, Dell EMC ships that equipment in a 12U mini-rack enclosure. The DLm8500
equipment is not intended to operate from within the mini-rack enclosure. Dell EMC
field service personnel should remove the DLm8500 VTEC equipment from the mini-
rack and install that equipment appropriately into a third-party rack of customer.
Maintaining the relative position of DLm VTEC equipment when moving to a
third-party rack
The DLm VTEC equipment has been manufactured and configured in the factory. If
there are two VTE servers in the mini-rack, they have been installed and configured as
