Quick Install Guide

1. If you mount the switch on a table or shelf, attach the included
rubber footpads as indicated. The surface must support the
combined weight of the switch and attached cables (15 to 20
pounds [7 to 9 kilograms]).
2. Set the device on a flat surface near a power source. Allow at
least 2 inches (5.1 cm) of space on all sides for proper
air flow, and at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) at the back for power
cord clearance.
Confirm that you have the following tools and cables:
• Phillips #2 screwdriver
• Console cable
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) cable

This document provides information and instructions to
install and commission a factory-supplied Extreme Networks
Virtual Services Platform 4000 4450GSX Series switch. You
can download all documents referenced in this guide at
http://www.extremenetworks.com/support/documentation/.
The VSP 4450GSX Series switch supports two field-replaceable
AC or DC PSUs. One PSU is supplied with the chassis that can
fully power the VSP 4000 system. The AC PSU can fully power
the system including all PoE+ ports.
Optionally order a redundant PSU for redundancy and
load sharing.

• 1855 watts with two power supplies
Average PoE+ Wattage per port
(12 PoE+ ports):
• 15.4 watts (802.3af) - 1 power supply installed
• 32.4 watts (802.3at) - 1 power supply installed
Note: Power cords must be ordered separately. For more information about
power cords, see Installing Virtual Services Platform 4450GSX Series.
1. If a blanking plate covers the required power supply slot,
remove the blanking plate before attempting to insert the
power supply.
2. Insert the power supply into a rear power supply slot as
illustrated.
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. After you install a power supply, connect AC or DC power.
a. Table or shelf mounting
Caution: To protect the VSP 4450GSX Series switch against ESD
damage, do the following before you connect the data cables to
the device:
• Use antistatic wrist straps. Ensure that the strap has good skin
contact. Do not remove the wrist or ankle strap until the
installation is complete.
• Ensure that you properly ground work surfaces and
equipment racks.
• Avoid contact between equipment and clothing.
• Avoid touching the connector pins.

Use this procedure to optionally install a redundant power supply.
Note: The switch ships with a filler panel in the second power
supply position. This filler panel must stay in place if you do not
intend to install a second power supply. Each power supply bay
must be populated with either a cover or a power supply for
proper air-flow management.

Mount the VSP 4450GSX Series switch
b. Rack mounting
2. Slide the switch into the rack as illustrated. Insert and tighten
the rack-mount screws.
Prepare the rack:
1. Allocate 1U of vertical space for each switch in an EIA or
IEC-standard 19-inch (48.2-centimeter) equipment rack.
Ensure that the equipment rack is stable and securely attached
to a permanent structure.
2. Ground the rack to the same grounding electrode used by the
power service in the area. The ground path must be permanent
and must not exceed 1 ohm of resistance from the rack to the
grounding electrode. It is recommended using a filter or
surge suppressor.
Mount the switch:
1. Attach an L-bracket to each side of the switch using the #2
Phillips screwdriver as illustrated.
