Site selection
Install the platform equipment in restricted access areas.
A restricted access area is one in which service personnel can only gain access using a special tool, lock, key or other means of security.
The authority responsible for the location controls access to the restricted area.
Ensure that the area where you install your platform meets the following safety requirements:
• Near an adequate power source. Connect the platform to the appropriate branch circuit protection according to your local electrical
codes.
• Platform environmental temperature range is from 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F).
• Relative humidity is from 5 to 85 percent noncondensing, continuously.
• 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.
• Inside the restricted access area, positioned in a rack or cabinet, or on a desktop with adequate space in the front, back, and sides for
proper ventilation and access.
• Install the platform in Information Technology Rooms in accordance with Article 645 of the National Electrical Code and NFPA 75.
For more information about platform storage and environmental temperatures, see Specications.
Cabinet placement
Install the VEP4600 only in indoor cabinets designed for use in a controlled environment.
Do not install the platform in outside cabinets. For cabinet placement requirements, see Site selection.
The cabinet must meet minimum size requirements. Airow must be in accordance with the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) standard.
Ensure that there is a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) between the intake and exhaust vents and the cabinet wall.
