Chapter 5: Hardware fundamentals and
This section provides general hardware guidelines to be aware of when designing your network.
Use the information in this section to help you during the hardware design and planning phase.

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
support with the rest of the ERS 8800/8600 documentation.To support a full configuration of RS
modules, you require an 8004 or 8005 power supply. Do not mix 8004 and 8005 power supplies in
the same chassis.

Power supply circuit requirements

The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8800/8600 AC power supplies require single-phase source AC.
Do not mix AC and DC power supplies in the same chassis.
The source AC can be out of phase between multiple power supplies in the same chassis.
Therefore, power supply 1 can operate from phase A, and power supply 2 can operate from phase
B.
