This chapter provides information to install the Virtual Services Platform 9010 chassis.
Virtual Services Platform 9010 chassis fundamentals
The Avaya Virtual Services Platform 9010 chassis consists of a sheet metal enclosure, a midplane,
cooling modules, and power supplies. The number of power supplies needed depends on the
specific hardware configuration and redundancy needs.
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,
