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.
WARNING: Only trained and qualied personnel can install this equipment. Read this guide before you install and power up this
equipment. This equipment contains two power cords. Disconnect both power cords before servicing.
WARNING: This equipment contains optical transceivers, which comply with the limits of Class 1 laser radiation.
Figure 1. Class 1 laser product tag
WARNING: When no cable is connected, visible and invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the optical
transceiver ports. Avoid exposure to laser radiation, and do not stare into open apertures.

4 About this guide

Site preparations
VEP1400 is universal customer premise equipment (uCPE). To connect the service provider edge or small to medium branch locations to
the cloud, use VEP1400 to host virtual network functions.
For more information on VEP1400 specications, see Chassis physical design.
NOTE: Install the platform into a rack or cabinet before installing any optional components.
Topics:
• Site selection
• Chassis mounting
• System ground
• Fans and airow
• Power
• Storing components
Site selection
Ensure that the area where you install your platform meets the following safety requirements:
• Near an adequate power source
• Environmental—platform location—continuous temperature range is from 0°C to 45°C (32–113°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
For more information about platform storage and environmental temperatures, see Specications.
Chassis mounting
The VEP1400 supports desktop placement (rubber feet), wall mount (using brackets) and rack-mount using a dual-unit tray.
System ground
Dell recommends grounding your system. Use VEP4600 in a CBN.
Fans and airow
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 airow from the I/O to the PSU.

Site preparations 5

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 o 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 oor, 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.
6 Site preparations

VEP1400 installation
To install VEP1400, 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 eld 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. As with all electrical devices of this type, take all the necessary safety precautions to
prevent injury when installing this platform.
Topics:
• Unpack
• Platform power-up
Unpack
NOTE: Before unpacking the platform, inspect the container and immediately report any evidence of damage.
When unpacking VEP1400, ensure that the following items are included:
• One VEP1400
• Mini-USB console cable
• One AC/DC power supply and AC power cable
• Wall mount hardware
•VEP1400 Setup Guide
•Safety and Regulatory Information
•Warranty and Support Information
1 Place the container on a clean, at surface.
2 Open the container.
3 Carefully remove the unit from the container and place it on a secure and clean surface.
4 Remove all packing material.
5 Inspect the product and accessories for damage.
Platform power-up
Supply power to the VEP1400 after you mount it in a rack or desktop.
Reinspect your platform before power-up. Verify the following:
• The ambient temperature around the unit, which may be higher than the room temperature, be within the limits that are specied for
the VEP1400, see Specications.
• There is sucient airow around the unit.
• The input circuits are correctly sized for the loads and that you use sucient overcurrent protection devices.
• All protective covers are in place.
CAUTION: If a fan module is not installed, do not power up the platform.

VEP1400 installation 7

NOTE: A US AC power cable is included for powering up an AC power supply. You must order all other power cables separately.
NOTE: If the components are mishandled, ESD damage can occur. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap
when handling the platform and its components.
Power up sequence
For congurations that include a fan module, the fans immediately come on at high speed when the platform powers up. The fan speed
slows as the platform continues to boot up.
