Site preparations
The Virtual Edge Platform 1405, or VEP1405, is a universal customer premise equipment (uCPE) device. The VEP1405 connects the
service provider edge or small to medium branch locations to the cloud, to host virtual network functions.
For more information about VEP1405 specifications, see Chassis physical design.
Topics:
•Site selection
•Chassis mounting
•Fans and airflow
•Power
•Storing components
Site selection
Ensure that the area where you install your platform meets the following safety requirements:
• Near an adequate power source
• Connected to a properly grounded power outlet
WARNING: The VEP1405 AC power cord must be connected to a socket outlet that has properly wired earth ground.
• Environmental—platform location—continuous temperature range is 0–40°C (32–104°F)
• Operating humidity:
• 5% to 85% (RH), noncondensing continuously
• 5% to 90% (RH), noncondensing Short term (< 1% of operational hour per year)
• In a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and temperature-controlled room, away from heat sources such as hot air vents or direct sunlight
• Away from sources of severe electromagnetic noise
• In a location that enables the VEP1405 to be out of direct view within the workplace
For more information about platform storage and environmental temperatures, see Specifications.
Chassis mounting
The VEP1405 supports the following mounting options:
• Desktop placement (rubber feet)
• Wall mount placement
• Rack-mounted using the optional rack mount tray
Desktop placement
The VEP1405 includes four rubber feet that provide secure and stable placement of the unit on a flat surface.

Site preparations 5

Figure 2. VEP1405 desktop placement
Wall mount installation
The VEP1405 includes the hardware that is required for wall mount installation. Using a torque screwdriver, affix the wall mount brackets
to the VEP1405 using the four M3 screws included.
NOTE: When driving the screws into the bracket and VEP1405 unit, verify that 5 lb-in is the achieved torque setting.
NOTE: If mounting the VEP1405 to the wall using the wall mount bracket provided, removal of the rubber feet from the
bottom of the VEP1405 unit is not necessary.
The VEP1405 includes a wall mount bracket with cross-shaped cutout for the mounting screws.

Figure 3. VEP1405 wall mount installation - cross-shaped cutout
To mount the VEP1405 unit to the wall using the wall mount bracket provided, you must first anchor the screws into the wall surface.
Depending on the type of wall surface, use the M3 screw and anchor to ensure a secure installation. The recommended M3 screw
dimensions are as follows:
NOTE: The wall mount, installation anchor, and screw dimensions that are provided are in millimeters (mm).
Figure 4. VEP1405 wall mount, installation anchor, and screw dimensions
6Site preparations

NOTE: Before mounting the VEP1405 to the wall, verify that the wall surface is strong enough to support a firm
installation of the unit and can withstand the weight of the unit, power cable, and network cabling.
Using the measurements provided in the following diagram, use the measurement in the red box to mark the distance between the two
installation points:
Figure 5. VEP1405 M3 screw installation points
After the brackets have been attached to the VEP1405 unit and the screws that are mounted into the wall, place the brackets over the
screws, and slide the unit to one side to secure the unit in place.
Figure 6. VEP1405 wall mount bracket installation - cross-shaped cutout
Rack-mounted installation
As an option, the VEP1405 can be mounted to a dual rack mount tray. Purchased separately, you can install the VEP1405 to the dual rack
mount tray using a torque screwdriver and the eight M3 screws included.
NOTE: When driving the screws into the bracket and VEP1405 unit, verify that 5 lb-in is the achieved torque setting.
NOTE: If mounting the VEP1405 to a dual rack mount tray, removal of the rubber feet from the bottom of the VEP1405
unit is not necessary.

Fans and airflow
Fan installation is done as part of the factory install and is based on the stock keeping unit (SKU) type. The VEP1405 supports a DC fan
unit with fan airflow starting from the bottom of the unit:
• Four core unit with single fan
• Eight core unit with two fans
• Sixteen core unit with two fans
Position the unit in a well ventilated environment with clearance around the exhaust vents. The fan speed varies based on internal
temperature monitoring. The platform never intentionally turns off the fans.
CAUTION: The fans are not field-replaceable.
CAUTION: For thermal considerations, do not stack the VEP1405 platforms on top of each other. Do not place the
external power supply on top of the VEP1405 unit. Stacking the units or placing the power supply on top of a unit
impairs cooling.
Power
Connect the platform to the applicable power source using the appropriate power cable. The VEP1405 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.
The platform is powered-up when the power cable is connected between the platform and the power source.
CAUTION: Before servicing, ensure that the power cable is disconnected.
CAUTION: Use the power supply cable as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket-outlet is located near the
equipment and is accessible.
Storing components
If you do not install the VEP1405 and components immediately, properly store the platform and all optional components following these
guidelines:
• The storage temperature range is from -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F) with humidity at 5% to 90% noncondensing
• 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 VEP1405 and
its components on an antistatic surface.
