Install Guide

WARNING: When working with optical fibers, follow all warning labels and always wear eye protection. Never look

directly into the end of a terminated or unterminated fiber or connector as it may cause eye damage.

1. Position the optic to enter the port correctly.

The optic has a key that prevents it from being inserted incorrectly.

2. Insert the optic into the port until it gently snaps into place.

NOTE: When you cable the ports, be sure not to interfere with the airflow from the small vent holes above and below

the ports.

Optics removal

Remove an optic by pushing the tab on the optic and sliding the optic from the port.

When removing optics with direct attach cables (DACs) from the port, pull the release tab firmly and steadily. Before pulling the release

tab, you may need to gently push the optic into the port to ensure that it is seated properly. Do not jerk or tug repeatedly on the tab.

Platform power-up

Supply power to the VEP4600 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.

• Optional: The equipment rack is properly mounted and grounded.

• The ambient temperature around the unit, which may be higher than the room temperature, is within the limits specified for the

VEP4600. For more information, see the Specifications section.

• There is sufficient airflow around the unit.

• The input circuits are correctly sized for the loads and that you use sufficient overcurrent protection devices.

• All protective covers are in place.

CAUTION: Do not power up the platform if you did not install a fan module.

NOTE: A US AC power cable is included for powering up an AC power supply. You must order all other power cables

separately.

NOTE: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap

when handling the VEP4600 and components.

Power up sequence

When the platform powers up, the fans immediately come on at high speed. The fan speed slows as the platform continues to boot up.
