The VP9660 supports AC and DC power supplies. The cables delivered vary according to the power modules specified in the purchase contract. Hardware Structure The VP9660 is 20 U (890 mm or 35.04 in.) high. The VP9660 integrates the chassis, power modules, fan assemblies, boards, and dust filter, as shown in Figure 2-4.
Page 17
AC power supply mode. The power modules, fan assemblies, and dust filter are preinstalled on the chassis before the delivery of the VP9660. You only need to install boards and connect the ground, power, and network cables to the VP9660.
Page 19
Before plugging in the power cable, ensure that the ground cable is properly connected to the VP9660. At the lower right corner of the VP9660 chassis' rear panel, you will find two M6 ground screws. Choose either of the screws to connect the ground cable.

DC power module: -36~-72V AC power module: 90~280 V, 50 or 60 Hz To protect other equipment in the equipment room from being affected when the VP9660 experiences a power supply fault, the following specifications are recommended: DC power module: 50A ...
Step 4 Insert the power cable into the power socket of the power supply device. ----End 2.6 Installing Boards Before installing boards into the VP9660 chassis, set the switches on the power modules to OFF. Mount a filler panel on each empty slot in the chassis. Doing so improves the electromagnetic compatibility and cooling of the VP9660 and protects the system air channels.
Page 24
Boards are susceptible to ESD damage. To protect the boards, observe the following rules: − Ground the VP9660 correctly in accordance with the grounding requirements. − Always wear an ESD wrist strap to protect the boards against ESD during operation.
Page 25
Slots 0 and 1 are used to accommodate ECCB boards. If there is only one ECCB board, insert it into slot 0. Each slot in the VP9660 chassis is provided with a filler panel. To insert boards into slots, loosen the screws counterclockwise in the filler panels, remove the filler panels, and insert the boards from left to right.

Figure 2-15 Tightening the board screws ----End If a slot has no board inserted, mount a filler panel on the slot. Otherwise, the heat dissipation and electromagnetic shielding of the VP9660 will be affected. Issue 04 (2013-12-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential...
2 Installing the VP9660 2.7 Plugging In Network Cables To enable the VP9660 to function correctly, connect all GE0 ports in the board front panels to a gigabit switch. For service provision, do not connect GE0 or GE1 ports to a hub or a 10 Mbit/s switch.
3.1 Powering On Power on the device only after you have completed the installation. 3.1.1 Verification Before Power-On After you install the VP9660, verify device installation and cable connection before powering it on. Verifying Device Installation Before verifying device installation, set the switches of power modules to OFF.
VP9660 to prevent injuries and device damage. The VP9660 is shipped with four DC or AC power modules. If DC power modules are provided, the VP9660 requires two power modules to be fully powered. The other two power modules serve as backups.
The VP9660 provides web-based management. Using a computer with an Internet browser, you can log in to the VP9660 web interface for configuration. Default Settings During your first login to the VP9660 web interface, use the default settings listed in Table 3-4.
