Ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground path must be permanent. Platform ground Dell EMC recommends you ground your platform. Connect the grounding cables as described in Edge 3000 Series installation.
NOTE: For an AC-powered platform although the third conductor of the AC power cord provides a ground path, Dell EMC recommends grounding your platform with a dedicated ground wire. Fans and airflow Fan installation is done as part of the factory. The Edge 3000 Series supports two AC PSUs with fan airflow from the I/O to the PSU. 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.
Ground lug Dell EMC recommends you ground your Edge 3000 Series platform; however, grounding is optional and the ground lug assembly kit is not included with the platform. The ground lug must be a UL-recognized, crimp-type lug. To order a UL-certified ground lug with bracket, contact your Dell EMC sales representative.
NOTE: Coat the one-hole lug with an antioxidant compound before crimping. Also, bring any unplated mating surfaces to a clean finish and coat with an antioxidant before mating. Plated mating surfaces must be clean and free from contamination. NOTE: The rack installation ears are not suitable for grounding. Before you install the platform: 1.
Two-post installation To configure your rack for installation, use the two-post rack mounting system that is provided. To complete this installation, supply four rack-mounting screws. To begin installation, separate each rail assembly by sliding the inside rail out of the outside rail. NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly.
NOTE: Do not the use the mounted rails as a shelf or a workplace. To remove the platform, unscrew the rack-mounting screws and slide the platform forward. Four-post installation Installing the Edge 3000 platform in a four-post rack is optional. To use this procedure, you must purchase the four-post rack mounting kit separately.
Platform power-up Supply power to the Edge 3000 Series after it is mounted in a rack or cabinet. Dell EMC recommends reinspecting your platform before powering it up. Verify the following: • Optional: The equipment is properly secured to the rack and properly grounded.
