Technical specifications • Avoid contact between equipment and clothing. The wrist or ankle strap protects only the equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage. • Avoid touching any connector pins. • Do not remove the wrist or ankle strap until the installation is complete. Preventing electrostatic damage in new cable installations With new cable installations, we recommend that you use an ESD discharge cable to reduce the potential for damage from static, that can build up in cables.

Installing the Virtual Services Platform 7200 Series Important: Installing a combination of AC-input and DC-input power supplies in the same chassis is not supported. To install an AC power supply, see Installing an AC power supply on page 24. To install a DC power supply, see Installing a DC power supply on page 29.
Page 25
Installing a power supply Procedure 1. If there is a power supply cover, remove it and save for possible future use. To remove the cover, push the tab on the spring latch to the left and pull on the extraction handle. Important: If you only have one power supply installed, the other slot must be covered to ensure proper ventilation.
Page 26
Installing the Virtual Services Platform 7200 Series Note: The chassis design prevents an incorrect installation of a power supply. If you insert a power supply upside down, it will not fully insert. 4. Once you install a power supply, you can connect the AC power cord to the power supply on the back of the switch, and then connect the cord to an AC power outlet.
Page 27
Installing a power supply Figure 4: AC power supply The 800 W AC power supply uses an IEC 60320 C14 AC power cord receptacle. The corresponding AC power cord uses an IEC 60320 C13 connector. The following table describes the regulatory AC power specifications for the VSP 7200 Series switches.
Page 28
Installing the Virtual Services Platform 7200 Series VSP 7254XTQ Inrush Current: 40 A maximum Turn on Condition: 1 second maximum after application of AC power Important: The output rise time, from 10 to 90 percent, is 50 ms maximum and monotonic under all defined input and output conditions.
Installing a power supply Installing a DC power supply Important: Installing a combination of AC-input and DC-input power supplies in the same chassis is not supported. The VSP 7200 Series Series supports two field-replaceable 800 W DC power supplies. One comes with the switch and you can install a second power supply to provide redundancy and load sharing.
Page 30
Installing the Virtual Services Platform 7200 Series Important: If you only have one power supply installed, the other slot must be covered to ensure proper ventilation. If a power supply fails, replace it as soon as you can but leave it in place until you do.

Installing the Virtual Services Platform 7200 Series Important notice about rack safety One prerequisite to installing the switch in an equipment rack is to bolt the equipment rack to the floor. Warning: If you pull the chassis all the way out on the slide rails, there is a danger of the rack tipping over if the rack is not bolted to the floor.
Installing the switch in an equipment rack pulls the chassis out of the rack. Using the supplied brackets This procedure describes how to install the switch in an equipment rack using the supplied brackets. The brackets that come with the chassis are for mounting the unit in a standard 19–inch rack. We recommend that you mount a tray into the rack and set the chassis upon the tray.
Page 72
Installing the Virtual Services Platform 7200 Series 2. Attach a bracket to each side of the switch using a #2 Phillips screwdriver as illustrated below. 3. Slide the switch onto a shelf or tray in the rack. 4. Insert and tighten the rack-mount screws.
The following sections describe how to install and remove transceivers in the VSP 7200 Series switch. In this context, the term transceiver refers to Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP), SFP+, and Quad 4-channel SFP (QSFP+). For more information about transceiver use and designation, see Extreme Networks Pluggable Transceivers Installation Guide. Installing transceivers Install transceivers by performing this procedure.
Installing the Virtual Services Platform 7200 Series Removing transceivers Remove 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.
40GBASE-QSFP+ ports Connector Pin Number Signal Receive data (RXD) — mandatory Data set ready (DSR) — optional Clear to send (CTS) — optional, can swap or link with pin 1 40GBASE-QSFP+ ports When a port is channelized, only break out cables (copper or active optical DAC) should be used in it.
