9012 chassis installation fundamentals
and provide redundancy when both slots are populated. The other slots provide additional
bandwidth.
Important:
Avaya recommends that you install SF modules in both Slot 1 and Slot 4 (to provide
redundancy). You must have a functioning SF module in at least one of those slots for proper
operation of the interface modules.
Bandwidth is dependent on your hardware configuration.

Control Processor module

The 9080CP module performs the following tasks:
• runs all high level protocols, for example Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Open
Shortest Path First (OSPF)
• distributes the routing update
• manages and configures the interface and SF modules
• maintains and monitors the health of the chassis
• displays the status of the modules installed at the back of the chassis using LEDs
Important:
You need to ensure that the external Compact Flash card is installed in the CP module before
you power on the chassis or enable the CP module.
See Avaya Virtual Services Platform 9000 Installation — Modules, NN46250-301 for
information about installing CP modules.

Site requirements

Ensure that the installation site meets the space requirements described in this section. For
more information about environmental and electrical requirements, see
specifications
The installation site must provide sufficient free space around the chassis to ensure proper
ventilation and service access.
You can install up to three Avaya Virtual Services Platform 9000 chassis in a single rack.
Although there are no space requirement between units, leave enough room between units to
remove and replace modules.
