Safety messages
Warning:
Installation must be performed by qualified service personnel only. Read and follow all warning
notices and instructions marked on the product or included in the documentation.
Voltage:
This equipment relies on the building's installation for overcurrent protection. Ensure that a fuse
or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15 A U.S. (240 VAC, 16 A International) is used on
the phase conductors.
Caution:
This device is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this device can cause radio
interference, in which case the user may be required to take appropriate measures.
Caution:
When mounting this device in a rack, do not stack units directly on top of one another in the
rack. Each unit must be secured to the rack with appropriate mounting brackets. Mounting
brackets are not designed to support multiple units.
Voltage:
Use only power cords that have a grounding path. Without a proper ground, a person who
touches the switch is in danger of receiving an electrical shock. Lack of a grounding path to the
switch can result in excessive emissions.
Warning:
Disconnecting the power cord is the only way to turn off power to this device. Always connect
the power cord in a location that can be reached quickly and safely in case of an emergency.
Warning:
Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that can injure your eyes. Never look into
an optical fiber or connector port. Always assume that fiber optic cables are connected to a light
source.

2. Verify that the transceiver is the correct model for the network configuration.
3. Grasp the transceiver between your thumb and forefinger.
4. Insert the transceiver into the proper module on the switch. Apply a light pressure to the
transceiver until it clicks and locks into position in the module.
5. Remove the dust cover from the transceiver optical bores.
Removing SFP transceivers
Remove SFP transceivers by performing this procedure.
1. Disconnect the network fiber cable from the transceiver.
2. Use the locking mechanism on the transceiver to release it. The locking mechanism varies
from model to model as illustrated below.
3. Slide the transceiver from the module slot.
4. If the transceiver does not slide easily from the module slot, use a gentle side-to-side rocking
motion while firmly pulling the transceiver from the slot.
5. Attach a dust cover over the fiber-optic bores and store the transceiver in a safe place until
you need it.
Important:
Discard transceivers in accordance with the proper laws and regulations.

Installing the Avaya Virtual Services Platform 4000 power supply
You must install at least one power supply before using the switch. Avaya VSP 4000 models
support two field replaceable external power supplies. If supported, you can install an optional
second power supply for redundancy, load sharing, or to provide additional PoE+ power budget.
Perform the following procedure to install an external power supply into your switch.
Note:
Avaya VSP 4000 hardware can vary. This procedure only applies to hardware models with field
replaceable power supplies.
1. If a blanking plate covers the required power supply slot, remove the blanking plate before
attempting to insert the power supply.
2. Insert each power supply into a rear power supply slot.
3. Verify that each power supply is fully seated in the slot. Secure the power supply with the
two thumb screws.
Note:
The switch chassis can prevent an incorrect installation of a power supply. If you insert a
power supply upside down, it will not fully insert and the thumb screws will not engage.
4. Once you install a power supply, you can proceed with connecting AC power.
Note:
Do not connect an AC and DC power supply in the same chassis. Load sharing may be
affected.
Important:
You can hot swap power supplies while the switch is operational. One power supply is required
for continued switch operation. PoE+ load reductions can occur if you remove one power supply
while the switch is operating with dual power supplies.
