To install MBMs

4 minutes/MBM

Caution: Only install the MBMs when the system is powered down.

1Ensure that the switches on the MBM are set correctly (see Table 6 and Table 7).

In the case of FEM MBMs, the switches activate the front ports. Ensure that the switches accurately reflect the ports you require.

2Select an open MBM bay.

3With the face of the MBM facing toward you, insert the MBM into the open bay.

4Push the MBM completely into the unit. You will hear a click when the MBM is firmly seated in the bay.

5Repeat steps 2 to 4 for each MBM you want to install.

Connecting the MBM wiring

Refer to the chapter “Installing a media bay module (MBM)” in the BCM200/400 4.0 Installation and Maintenance Guide for more detailed information.

This section describes how to wire the cables that connect to the station and trunk MBMs.

•Station MBMs have one (ASM, DSM16, 4x16) or two (DSM32) 50-pin amphenol connectors (25-pair cables).

•Trunk MBMs (CTM4, CTM8, 4x16, DTM, and BRI) connect to central office trunks using RJ-type jacks. However, the GATM4 and GATM8 have a 50-pin amphenol connector (25-pair cable).

Warning: Use only qualified persons to service the system.

The installation and service of this unit must be performed by service personnel with the appropriate training and experience. Service personnel must be aware of the hazards of working with telephony equipment and wiring. They must have experience in techniques that minimize any danger of shock or equipment damage.

Leakage currents: Service personnel must be alert to the possibility of high leakage currents becoming available on metal system surfaces during power line fault events on network lines. These leakage currents normally safely flow to Protective Earth ground through the power cord. However, if the AC power is unplugged prior to disconnecting the cables from the front of the base function tray, this hazard can occur.

System shutdown: You must disconnect the MBM cables from the system before disconnecting the power cord from a grounded outlet.

System startup: You must reconnect the power cords to a grounded outlet before reconnecting the cables to the MBMs.
