Chapter 5: Cooling module installation and
removal for the VSP 9012
This section describes how to install and remove the cooling modules for the Virtual Services
Platform 9012.
Install a cooling module to provide cooling to the interface, Switch Fabric (SF), and Control
Processor (CP) modules. Installation takes 2 to 5 minutes.
Installing the I/O cooling module for the VSP 9012
Install the I/O cooling module in the front of the chassis to provide cooling to the interface and CP
modules. You must install two I/O cooling modules in the chassis. You can hot swap the cooling
modules.
Before you begin
Determine which of the following two types of I/O cooling modules you require for the Virtual
Services Platform 9012:
• 9012FC cooling module: Use with first generation modules.
• 9012FCHS cooling module: Required for second generation modules and can use with first
generation modules.
Note:
The Virtual Services Platform 9000 supports the 9048XS-2 module in first generation mode
and second generation mode. The Virtual Services Platform 9012 requires the 9012FCHS
I/O cooling module to be installed before you install the 9048XS-2 module.
Procedure
1. Locate the bay where you want to install the cooling module.
2. Slide the cooling module into the chassis.
