Chassis considerations
This section discusses chassis power and cooling considerations. You must properly power
and cool your chassis, or nonoptimal switch operation can result.

Chassis power considerations

Each Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8800/8600 chassis provides redundant power options,
depending on the chassis and the number of modules installed.
The 8003-R chassis supports up to two power supplies, and the 8006 and 8010 chassis support
up to three power supplies. You must install at least one power supply for each chassis.
To determine the number of power supplies required for your switch configuration, use the
Power Supply Calculator for Avaya ERS 8800/8600, NN48500-519. This is available at
