You can hot swap the external storage devices (compact flash memory card or the USB devices).
Any sudden removal of external storage devices can cause data loss or damage the hardware. For
more information on the removal of external storage devices, see
on page 94.

Important:
The 9080CP module in a Virtual Services Platform 9010 AC chassis must run software Release
3.4 or later. You cannot plug and play a 9080CP module from a Virtual Services Platform 9012
chassis to a Virtual Services Platform 9010 AC chassis if the Virtual Services Platform 9012
runs a software version earlier than Release 3.4. For more information about hardware and
software compatibility, see
Release Notes for Avaya Virtual Services Platform 9000,
NN46250-401.
Cooling modules
The Virtual Services Platform 9012 chassis uses four cooling modules. Two cooling modules at the
front of the chassis cool the CP and I/O modules. Two cooling modules at the back of the chassis
cool the SF modules.
You install the cooling modules for the SF modules at the back of the chassis. The cooling air flows
from front to back to cool the SF and auxiliary modules.
You install the cooling modules for the I/O and CP modules at the front of the chassis. The cooling
modules plug into the midplane. The cooling air flows from left to right, as viewed from the front. A
green LED indicates correct fan operation.
Note:
If you use second generation modules with the Virtual Services Platform 9012, you must use the
9012FCHS cooling module for the Virtual Services Platform 9012. If you insert a second
generation module into the Virtual Services Platform 9012, the system checks what cooling
modules are in use, and if the system does not use the 9012FCHS cooling module, the second
generation modules remain offline.
You can use 9012FCHS cooling modules with first generation modules in the Virtual Services
Platform 9012, but you are not required to use the 9012FCHS cooling modules with first generation
modules.
See
Installing Cooling Modules in Avaya Virtual Services Platform 9000,
NN46250-302, for
information about how to install cooling modules.
