Fans And Airflow; Power; Storing Components - Dell EMC SD-WAN Edge 3000 Series Installation Manual

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. When you install two Edge 3000 Series platforms near each other, to permit proper airflow, position the two platforms at
least 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart. The fan speed varies based on internal temperature monitoring. The Edge 3000 Series never intentionally
turns off the fans.
For more information, see Fans.

Power

Connect the platform to the appropriate power source using the appropriate power cable. An AC power cable is included with each PSU.
When installing AC 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. For more information, see
Power supplies.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the power cable before you service the power supply slots. The platform has multiple
power cables. Before servicing, ensure that all power cables are disconnected.
CAUTION: Use the AC power supply cord as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket-outlet is located and
installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
Processor power button
The processor power button is on the I/O-side of the platform.
• To turn on the processor, hold the button down for one second.
• To turn off the processor, hold the button down for five seconds.
CAUTION: Always turn off the processor correctly. For the processor to boot correctly after you have turned off the
platform, hold the processor power button down for five seconds.
NOTE: Before you unplug the platform power cable, either turn off the processor using the software console or hold the
processor power button down for five seconds.

Storing components

If you do not install your Edge 3000 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 platform and
components on an anti-static surface.
