2 Site Preparations The Virtual Edge Platform 1405 series of systems, or VEP1405, are a universal customer premise equipment (uCPE) devices. The VEP1405 series connects the service provider edge or small to medium branch locations to the cloud, to host virtual network functions. For more information about VEP1405 series specifications, see the Chassis physical design section.
Figure 2. VEP1405 series desktop placement Wall mount installation The VEP1405 series includes the hardware that is required for wall mount installation. Using a torque screwdriver, affix the wall mount brackets to the VEP1405 series using the four M3 screws included. NOTE: When driving the screws into the bracket and VEP1405 series unit, verify that 5 lb-in is the achieved torque setting.
Figure 4. VEP1405 series wall mount, installation anchor, and screw dimensions NOTE: Before mounting the VEP1405 series 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.
Figure 6. VEP1405 series wall mount bracket installation - cross-shaped cutout Rack-mounted installation As an option, the VEP1405 series can be mounted to a dual rack mount tray. Purchased separately, you can install the VEP1405 series 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 series unit, verify that 5 lb-in is the achieved torque setting.
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 series of systems support 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.
3 VEP1405 Series Installation To install the VEP1405 series unit, complete the installation procedures in the order that is presented in this section. Always handle the platform and its components with care. 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.
4 Specifications This section lists the specifications for the VEP1405 series of systems. CAUTION: Operate the product at an ambient temperature between 0-40°C (32–104°F).
