Installation Instructions

Prerequisites for installing the Avaya Virtual Services Platform 4000 in an equipment rack:
• Ensure that you have a space of 1.75 inches (4.45 centimeters) in height for each switch
in an EIA or IEC-standard 19-inch (48.2-centimeter) equipment rack.
• The rack is bolted to the floor and braced if necessary.
• The rack is grounded to the same grounding electrode used by the power service in the
area. The ground path must be permanent and must not exceed 1 Ohm of resistance
from the rack to the grounding electrode.
Caution:
When you mount the device in a rack, do not stack units directly on top of one another. You
must secure each unit to the rack with the appropriate mounting brackets. Mounting brackets
cannot support multiple units. For a translation of this statement, see
Translations of safety
messages on page 49.
1. Remove the screws that hold the USB cover but do not remove the USB cover.
2. Attach the L-bracket to each side of the switch using a #2 Phillips screwdriver as
illustrated below. Ensure that the L-bracket goes over the USB cover.
Caution:
On a factory-supplied VSP 4000 switch, do not attempt to remove either the USB
cover or the USB device from the slot. Removing the USB device affects system
operation and may even prevent the switch from booting up successfully.
Ensure that the USB device is inserted in the system at all times, with the USB
cover on.
3. Slide the switch into the rack as illustrated.
