Installing the VSP 8000 Series in an equipment rack

Note:
The instructions in this section apply to all switches in the Avaya Virtual Services Platform 8000
Series. The illustrations show the VSP 8200 as an example, but the instructions apply to any
switch in the series.
There are different ways to install an Avaya Virtual Services Platform 8000 Series switch in an
equipment rack. Refer to one of the following sections:
• Slide Rack Mount Kit-This is a separately ordered option that you can use to install your switch
in equipment racks that range from 300 mm to 900 mm deep. For installation instructions, see
Using the optional slide rack mount kit
• Brackets-The switch comes with brackets that you can install in one of two positions on the
chassis:
- Use the mid-chassis position for a two-post rack.
- Use the front panel position of the chassis for a four-post rack.
Note:
It is highly recommended to mount the chassis on a tray designed for the specific rack and use
the Avaya supplied rack mount brackets to hold the chassis in place. The chassis is heavy and
could cause damage to a rack if only the brackets are used, especially in a vibration prone area.
For installation instructions, see
Before you begin
• Ensure that there is enough rack space to accommodate a 2 U switch (8.8 cm).
• The rack is bolted to the floor and braced if necessary.
