VSP 7200 Series
Important:
Make sure the air flow direction of your power supplies and fan modules match the same direction
(either front-to-back or back-to-front).
12 volt redundant fan module
Universal Slide Rack Mount Kit (300mm-900mm)
Slide Rack Mount Kit (300mm–
900mm)
Note:
The universal slide rack mount kit is optional and must be ordered separately. VSP 7200, VSP 8200
and VSP 8400 ship with rack mount brackets. When using rack mount brackets on VSP 8200 and VSP
8400, Avaya recommends the use of a shelf to provide additional support.
Compatible transceivers
Important:
Avaya recommends using Avaya-branded SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ transceivers as they have
been through extensive qualification and testing. Avaya will not be responsible for issues related
to non-Avaya branded transceivers.
• The VSP 7200 Series operates in forgiving mode for SFP transceivers, which means that
the switch will bring up the port operationally when using non-Avaya SFP transceivers.
Avaya does not provide support for operational issues related to these SFPs, but they will
operate and the port link will come up. The switch logs the device as an unsupported or
unknown device.
• The VSP 7200 Series operates in strict mode for some SFP+ and QSFP+ transceivers,
which means that the switch will not bring the port up operationally when using non-Avaya
SFP+ or QSFP+ transceivers. For coarse wave digital multiplexing (CWDM) and dense
wave digital multiplexing (DWDM) SFP+ transceivers, the switch operates in forgiving
mode and will bring up the port operationally when using non-Avaya SFP+ transceivers of
these types.
• The VSP 7200 Series operates in forgiving mode for SFP+ and QSFP+ direct attached
cables, which means that the switch will bring up the port operationally when using Non-
Avaya direct attached cables. Avaya does not provide support for operational issues
related to these DACs, but they will operate and the port link will come up.
