1 About this guide This guide provides site preparation recommendations, step-by-step procedures for rack mounting and desk mounting, inserting modules, and connecting to a power source. CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, wear grounding wrist straps when handling this equipment. NOTE: Only trained and qualified personnel can install this equipment. Read this guide before you install and power up this equipment. This equipment contains one power cable.
2 Site preparations VEP4600 is universal customer premise equipment (uCPE). To connect the service provider edge or enterprise branch to the cloud, use VEP4600 to host multiple virtual network functions (VNFs), such as SD-WAN, routing, firewall, and deep-packet inspection. For more information about VEP4600 specifications, see Chassis physical design section in this document. NOTE: Install the platform into a rack or cabinet before installing any optional components.
Rack mounting When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is grounded. Ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground path must be permanent. System ground Dell recommends grounding your system. Use VEP4600 in a CBN. Fans and airflow Fan installation is done as part of the factory install based on stock keeping unit (SKU) type. VEP 4600 supports an AC normal fan unit with fan airflow from the I/O to the PSU.
3 VEP4600 installation To install VEP4600, complete the installation procedures in the order presented in this section. Always handle the platform and its components with care. Avoid dropping the platform or any field replaceable units (FRUs). NOTE: ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap when handling the platform and its components.
CAUTION: Professional installation instructions: Products with WIFI and Bluetooth capabilities need to be installed by qualified personnel with RF and regulatory related knowledge. The general user shall not attempt to install or change any wireless settings. Ground cable To attach a ground cable to the switch, use the included two M3 ground lug bracket screws. The switch ships with the M3 ground lug bracket screws attached.
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.
Figure 4. Platfrom rail attachment 2. Repeat on the other side of the platform. 3. Attach the outer platform rails to the two-post rack rails using two user-supplied screws on each side. 4. After you install both rails, line up the platform rails with the installed rack rails. Slide the platform in until it is flush with the front of rack. About three inches before you fully insert your platform, the rail locking feature engages to keep the platform from inadvertently sliding out and falling. Figure 5.

Platform four-post front installed 5. Slide the rear platform rail from the back to the front bracket. Secure with two user-supplied screws on each side. Figure 8.
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 you mount it in a rack or cabinet. Reinspect your platform before power-up.
