9012FC I/O cooling module
The Virtual Services Platform 9012 requires two 9012FC I/O cooling modules for first generation I/O
modules. You must install the I/O cooling modules in the front of the chassis. The I/O cooling
modules provide cooling for the interface modules and the Control Processor (CP) modules. Each
I/O cooling module includes eight fans.
Important:
• You must use the 9012FCHS cooling module if you install and configure second generation
modules; otherwise, the second generation modules remain offline until you install the
9012FCHS cooling modules. For more information about the 9012FCHS cooling module, see
• The CP monitors the temperature for each module. If the temperature exceeds the software set
limit, the CP shuts down only the affected module.
The I/O cooling modules are hot swappable. You can replace them, one at a time, without turning off
the Virtual Services Platform 9000.
The following figure shows the cooling module for the Virtual Services Platform 9012.
