Site requirements
Ensure that the installation site meets the space requirements described in this section. For more
information about environmental and electrical requirements, see
page 98.
The installation site must provide sufficient free space around the chassis to ensure proper
ventilation and service access.
You can install up to three Virtual Services Platform 9012 chassis in a single rack. Although no
space requirement exists between units, leave enough room between units to remove and replace
modules.
Warning:
Install chassis units from the bottom up to ensure racks do not become top heavy and fall over.
Plan ahead to have three people present to lift the chassis. The chassis weighs in excess of 160 lb
(73 kg) and requires a minimum of three people to lift. Always use a mechanical lift when one is
available.
Use the following guidelines to plan front and rear access:
• For proper ventilation, Avaya recommends 36 inches (in.) (91 centimeters [cm]) of free space
in both the front and the back of the machine, and also 6 in. (15.2 cm) on each side.
• Air inlet temperature to each chassis must be within the specified range.
Important:
To ensure efficient cooling, both the air intake (left side of the chassis) and air exhaust (right
side of the chassis) require a minimum of 6 inches (152.4 mm) of distance from any adjacent
equipment that can either obstruct air flow or provide preheated air to the intake side.
Each power supply must operate from a dedicated branch circuit. For n + n redundancy, you must
connect half the branch circuits on one power feed, and the other half of the branch circuits on a
separate power feed. In addition to power supply redundancy, this configuration also provides power
feed redundancy.
