1. 

If you mount the VSP 4000 switch on a table or shelf, attach 
the included rubber footpads as indicated. The surface must 
support the combined weight of the switch and attached 
cables (15 to 20 pounds [7 to 9 kilograms]).

2. 

Set the device on a flat surface near a power source. Allow at 
least 2 inches (5.1 cm) of space on all sides for proper 
air flow, and at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) at the back for power 
cord clearance.

Confirm that you have the following tools and cables:
    •  Phillips #2 screwdriver
    •  Console cable that matches the console connector on the
       switch (DB-9 or RJ-45)
    •  Electrostatic discharge (ESD) cable

This document provides information and instructions to 
install and commission a factory-supplied Extreme Networks 
Virtual Services Platform 4000 4450GSX series switch. You 
can download all documents referenced in this guide at 
http://www.extremenetworks.com/support/documentation/.

The VSP 4000 4450GSX series switch supports two 
field-replaceable AC or DC PSUs. One PSU is supplied with the 
chassis that can fully power the VSP 4000 system. The AC PSU 
can fully power the system including all PoE+ ports.  

Optionally order a redundant PSU for redundancy and 
load sharing.

PoE+ specifications

Maximum PoE+ Wattage:

• 855 watts with one power supply

• 1855 watts with two power supplies

Average PoE+ Wattage per port 
(12 PoE+ ports):

• 15.4 watts (802.3af) - 1 power supply installed

• 32.4 watts (802.3at) - 1 power supply installed

1. 

If a blanking plate covers the required power supply slot, 

    remove the blanking plate before attempting to insert the 
    power supply.

2. 

Insert the power supply into a rear power supply slot as 

   illustrated.

3. 

Verify that each power supply is fully seated in the slot. 

    Secure the power supply with the two thumb screws.

    Note: 

The switch chassis can prevent an incorrect installation 

    of a power supply. If you insert a power supply upside down, it 
    will not fully insert and the thumb screws will not engage.

4. 

After you install a power supply, connect AC or DC power.

a. Table or shelf mounting

Caution:

  To protect the VSP 4000 switch against ESD damage, do 

the following before you connect the data cables to 
the device:

• Use antistatic wrist straps. Ensure that the strap has good skin 

contact. Do not remove the wrist or ankle strap until the 
installation is complete.

• Ensure that you properly ground work surfaces and 

equipment racks.

• Avoid contact between equipment and clothing.
• Avoid touching the connector pins.

Use this procedure to optionally install a redundant power supply. 

Note:

 The switch ships with a filler panel in the second power 

supply position. This filler panel must stay in place if you do not 
intend to install a second power supply. Each power supply bay 
must be populated with either a cover or a power supply for 
proper air-flow management.

Unpack the equipment and verify
package content

Verify power supply unit (PSU)
specifications

(Optional) Install redundant PSU

5

Mount the VSP 4000 switch

b. Rack mounting

2.

 Slide the switch into the rack as illustrated. Insert and tighten 

the rack-mount screws.

Prepare the rack:

1. 

Allocate 1U of vertical space for each switch in an EIA or 

    IEC-standard 19-inch (48.2-centimeter) equipment rack.

    Ensure that the equipment rack is stable and securely attached 
    to a permanent structure.

2. 

Ground the rack 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. It is recommended using a filter or 
    surge suppressor.

Mount the switch:

1. 

Attach an L-bracket to each side of the switch using the #2 

    Phillips screwdriver as illustrated.
