Before you start

This poster provides information and instructions to install 

and commission a factory-supplied Avaya Virtual Services 

Platform 8000 switch. You can download all documents 

referenced in this guide at www.avaya.com/support.

Note:

 Observe ESD precautions when unpacking.

Optionally order a redundant PSU to provide redundancy and 

load sharing.

The VSP 8000 Series supports two field-replaceable 800-W 

power supplies. One power supply ships with the unit and you 

can optionally install a second power supply for redundancy. 

If you install a second power supply, the load is shared equally 

and neither one acts as a primary power supply. 

 

Use this procedure to install either the primary or redundant 

power supply.

4

Install power supply unit

•  There are two power supply slots (PSU1 on top and PSU2 on 

the bottom). If you only have one power supply, you can install it 

in either PSU1 or PSU2. 

•  The switch ships with filler panels covering the power supply 

slots. If you’re not installing a second power supply, you must 

leave one of the filler panels in place for proper cooling. 

•  You can hot swap power supplies while the switch is operational. 

One power supply is required for continued 

switch operation.

1. 

Remove the two screws that secure the filler panel to the 

chassis. (Save the filler panel for possible future use.)

2.

 Insert the power supply into the slot. 

3.

 

Verify that the power supply is fully seated in the slot (AC PSU 

shown). The spring latch should engage and move back to its 

original position as shown below: 

 Notes:

 

  • The chassis design prevents an incorrect installation of a 

power supply. If you insert a power supply upside down, it will 

not fully insert. 

  • The spring latch design ensures that you remove the power 

cord before removing a power supply from the chassis. If you 

don’t remove the cord, you cannot move the latch to the left to 

release the hooks from the chassis.

4. After you install a power supply, proceed with connecting either 

the AC power cord or the DC power supply wiring assembly. 

5. 

Check the LED on the power supply. If it is off, the power supply 

is not operating. If it is green, the power supply is operating 

normally.

There are two ways to install an Avaya VSP 8000 switch in an 

equipment rack. Refer to one of the following sections:
•  Mount the switch using the supplied bracket.
•  Mount the switch using the optional slide rack mount kit.

Note:

 For more details on installing the VSP 8000 Series, see 

Avaya VSP 8000 Series Installation (NN47200-300).

Mount the VSP 8000 switch 

3. 

Slide the switch onto a shelf in the rack as illustrated.

4. 

Insert and tighten the rack-mount screws.

Prepare the rack

•  Ensure that there is enough rack space to accommodate a 

2RU switch (8.8 cm).

  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. 

Mount the switch using the supplied bracket

Caution:

 Avaya strongly recommends using the mounting 

brackets with a shelf. Using the brackets without a shelf can 

cause damage to the rack because of the chassis weight. 

When you mount the device in a rack, do not stack units 

directly on top of one another. 

1.

 Disconnect the power cord from the switch. 

2.

 Attach a bracket to each side of the switch as illustrated below. 

• Use the front set of holes for a 4–post rack installation.
• Use the set of holes near the center of the chassis for a  

  2–post rack installation.
