Chapter 4: Cooling module fundamentals

This section illustrates the Avaya Virtual Services Platform 9000 cooling modules: Input Output (IO)
cooling module and Switch Fabric (SF) cooling module.

9012FC IO cooling module

You must install two IO cooling modules in the front of the chassis. The IO cooling modules
provide cooling for the interface modules and the Central Processor (CP) modules. Each IO
cooling module includes eight fans.
If a fault condition occurs in an IO module, the chassis shuts down all SF and CP modules with
faults. It also gives an option to the user to shutdown the interface modules.
The IO cooling modules are hot swappable. You can replace them, one at a time, without
turning off the Virtual Services Platform 9000.
The following figure shows the cooling module for the Virtual Services Platform 9000
chassis.
