Power; Storing Components - Dell VEP1400 Series Setup Manual

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. The fan speed varies based on internal temperature monitoring. The platform never intentionally turns off the fans.

Power

Connect the platform to the applicable power source using the appropriate power cable. The VEP1400 ships with one external AC/DC
power supply and one AC power cable.
When installing AC platforms, follow the requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, where applicable.
ATTENTION REVIEWERS:
Verify that this comment is correct.
The platform is powered-up when the power cable is connected between the platform and the power source.
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 power supply cable as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket-outlet is located/installed near the
equipment and is easily accessible.

Storing components

If you do not install the VEP1400 and components immediately, properly store the platform and all optional components following these
guidelines:
• Storage location temperature must remain constant. The storage range is from -40°C to 70°C (-40°F 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 its accessories. After you remove the original packaging, place the VEP1400 and its components
on an antistatic surface.
