Installing the Virtual Services Platform 4000 in an
equipment rack
To install an VSP 4000 switch in an equipment rack, perform this procedure.
Note:
A factory-supplied 4450GSX series switch has a USB port but no USB device or cover.
Prerequisites for installing the VSP 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.
1. Attach the L-bracket to each side of the switch using a #2 Phillips screwdriver as illustrated
below.
