Site requirements
Ensure that the installation site meets the requirements described in this section. For more
information about environmental and electrical requirements, see
on
page 98.
General requirements
Plan ahead to have three people present to lift the chassis. The chassis weighs in excess of 141 lb
(64 kg). Always use a mechanical lift when one is available.
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.
The power supplies in the Virtual Services Platform 9010 chassis are divided in two shelves. Each
shelf consists of four independent power source and filter circuits. The eight circuits are independent
and you can configure either building phase to any circuit.
Space requirements
The installation site must provide sufficient free space around the chassis to ensure proper
ventilation and service access.
You can install up to two Virtual Services Platform 9010 chassis in a single rack.
Warning:
Install chassis units from the bottom up to ensure racks do not become top heavy and fall over.
For proper ventilation and module replacement, you must ensure a minimum of 36 inches of free
space in both the front and back of the chassis. Create a cool aisle at the front of the chassis and a
hot aisle at the rear of the chassis. Air inlet temperature to each chassis must be within the specified
range.
