  • Page 14: Site Preparations

    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 platform specifications, see Specifications NOTE: Install the VEP4600 in a rack or cabinet before installing the components.
  • Page 15: Rack Mounting

    Ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground path must be permanent. Platform ground Dell EMC recommends you ground your platform. Use the VEP4600 in a common bond network (CBN). Connect the grounding cables as described in the VEP4600 installation section. .
  • Page 16 • 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 VEP4600 and accessories. After you remove the original packaging, place the VEP4600 and components on an anti-static surface.

    5. Inspect the product and accessories for damage. VEP Expansion Card installation NOTE: Customers are not to attempt installing Virtual Edge Platform (VEP) 4600 expansion cards. A Dell EMC Certified technician must perform this installation. CAUTION: The mezzanine cards are intended for professional installation only.
  • Page 18: Ground Lug

    Ground lug Dell EMC recommends you ground your switch; however, grounding is optional and the ground lug assembly kit is not included with the switch. The ground lug must be a UL-recognized, crimp-type lug. To order a UL-certified ground lug with bracket, contact your Dell EMC sales representative.

    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.
  • Page 23: Power Supplies

    Power supplies The VEP4600 ships with one or two AC power supplies, depending on the configuration. Airflow is from the I/O panel to the PSU—the red indicator is the normal airflow direction. Two PSUs are required for full redundancy, but the platform can operate with a single PSU. The PSUs are field replaceable.
  • Page 24: Ac Power Supply Installation

    If a PSU fails, you must replace the entire unit. There are no field serviceable components in the PSU. To request a hardware replacement, see https://www.dell.com/support NOTE: If you use a single PSU, install a blank plate in the other PSU slot. If you are only using one power supply, install the power supply in the first slot, PSU1.
