Chapter 4: Hardware fundamentals and
guidelines
This section provides general hardware guidelines to use this product in a network. Use the information
in this section to help you during the hardware design and planning phase.
Platform considerations
This section provides VSP 4000 platform power and cooling considerations. You must properly
power and cool your device, or nonoptimal operation can result.
Platform power
Virtual Services Platform 4000 power considerations
The Virtual Services Platform 4000 supports both AC and DC power supplies. One power
supply is installed in the system.
The following redundant power supplies are supported. You can install the redundant power
supply based on additional power requirements or to provide power redundancy.
