Virtual Services Platform 9012
This section describes the types of cooling modules required for the Virtual Services Platform 9012
according to the configured mode.
You require the following types of cooling modules when the Virtual Services Platform 9012 is in first
generation mode:
• 9012FC I/O cooling module or 9012FCHS I/O cooling module
• 9012RC SF cooling module
You require the following types of cooling modules when the Virtual Services Platform 9012 is in
second generation mode.
• 9012FCHS I/O cooling module
• 9012RC SF cooling module
9012FCHS I/O cooling module supported configurations
Refer to the following tables to understand the supported configurations for the 9012FCHS and
9012FC cooling modules.
The following table describes the supported configuration for the 9012FCHS I/O cooling modules for
first generation, second generation, and a mix of first and second generation I/O modules.
I/O cooling modules installed
First generation, second generation, and a mix of first and second
generation I/O modules expected behavior
Two 9012FCHS I/O cooling
module
First and second generation I/O modules run as expected and only shut
down if their thermal sensors exceed the temperature threshold.
The following table describes the supported configuration for first generation modules only.
I/O cooling modules installed
First generation I/O modules expected behavior
Two 9012FC I/O cooling
modules or
Two 9012FCHS I/O cooling
modules
First generation I/O modules run as expected, and only shut down if their
thermal sensors are greater than the temperature threshold.
The following table describes non-supported configurations. Avaya allows the following
configurations for short time periods to install or swap I/O cooling modules.
