Install Guide

NOTE: The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specific platform.

NOTE: Do not the use the mounted two-post rails as a shelf or a workplace.

Rack mount safety considerations

• Rack loading—Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, possibly damaging the equipment and causing

personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components starting at the bottom of the

rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack’s load rating.

• Power considerations—Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When you install multiple electrical components in a

rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension

cords present fire and shock hazards.

• Elevated ambient temperature—If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may be

greater than the room ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the 45°C maximum ambient temperature of the platform.

• Reduced air flow—Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not

compromised.

• Reliable earthing—Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to the supply connections other

than the direct connections to the branch circuit, for example, use of power strips.

• Do not mount the equipment with the back panel facing downward.

Two-post installation

To easily configure your rack for installation of the VEP4600, use the two-post rack mounting system 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.

1. Attach the inner platform rails to the VEP4600.

Line up the half-holes on the rail with the mounting heads on the platform and attach the rail to the platform. Slide the rail back until it

locks into place.
