Important operational note for VSP 4000 switches

This section provides information to take into consideration to prevent system operation failure.
Operational consideration for USB Flash Drive on factory supplied and converted VSP 4000
switches
Warning:
The USB FLASH drive on all models of VSP 4850 (factory built and converted from ERS 4850) must be
treated as a permanent non-removable part of the switch and must NEVER be removed from the
switch to ensure proper operation. Additionally, the USB cover must be installed to ensure additional
protection against removal. The USB FLASH drive on the VSP 4850 switch is uniquely and
permanently bound to the operating system of the switch it is first used on and cannot be transferred to
a different switch. Removal (and reinsertion) of the USB FLASH drive from the switch is not supported
as it can permanently compromise the switch functionality and render it non-functional.

Supported optical devices

Use optical devices to achieve high-bit-rate communications and long transmission distances.
Important:
Avaya recommends using Avaya-branded SFP and SFP+ transceivers as they have been
through extensive qualification and testing. Avaya is not responsible for issues related to non-
Avaya branded SFP and SFP+ transceivers.
Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers
SFPs are hot-swappable input and output enhancement components designed to allow gigabit
Ethernet ports to link with other gigabit Ethernet ports over various media types.
You can use various SFP (1 Gbps) and SFP+ (10 Gbps) to attain different line rates and reaches.
The following table describes the SFPs including the reach provided by various SFPs.
Important:
The attainable cable length can vary depending on the quality of the fiber-optic cable used.
