Chapter 3: Cooling module fundamentals
This chapter describes the Avaya Virtual Services Platform 9000 cooling modules for the Virtual
Services Platform 9010 and the Virtual Services Platform 9012. The Virtual Services Platform 9010
requires only one type of cooling module and the Virtual Services Platform 9012 requires an Input
Output (IO) cooling module and a Switch Fabric (SF) cooling module.
Each chassis type has a separate section within this chapter, which contains cooling module
information for that specific chassis, followed by information that is common to both chassis.
Virtual Services Platform 9010
This section describes the 9010CM cooling module for the Virtual Services Platform 9010.
9010CM cooling module
The Virtual Services Platform 9010 uses two 9010CM cooling modules to provide airflow
redundancy. You must install the cooling modules horizontally in the front of the chassis. The
cooling modules provide cooling from front-to-back for the Input Output (IO) , the Control Processor
(CP), and the Switch Fabric (SF) modules. Each cooling module includes four axial fans.
You can hot swap the cooling modules and replace each cooling module individually, without turning
off the Virtual Services Platform 9000 system.
Danger:
Risk of personal injury
When you remove a cooling module, allow time for the fans to spin down before you fully
withdraw the cooling module. Be careful to keep your fingers out of the fan blades.
When removing a 9010 Cooling Module, pressing the Service Button disables the fans for 30
seconds to permit safe removal.
Warning:
To prevent damage to equipment, do not allow a chassis to operate for an extended period of
time with only a single cooling module. An empty cooling module slot can cause the chassis to
depressurize and result in significant loss in cooling capacity. Keep the failed cooling module
