Pre-installation: before going on site

This section describes the steps you need to take to before going to the installation site.

Documentation

Avaya recommends that you have the following documents on hand for the installation. These are included on the Documentation for Avaya Communication Manager, Media Gateways and Servers CD (03-300151).

●Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya S8400 Media Server in an Avaya G650 Media Gateway (03-300705) — a quick reference guide providing physical installation and connection information.

●Completed Electronic Preinstallation Worksheet — An Excel spreadsheet providing the customer’s network information needed to use the Avaya Installation Wizard to configure the control network components. Get from the Avaya project manager, Avaya software technician, or customer network administrator. See the Avaya Installation Wizard Web site (http://support.avaya.com/avayaiw) for the blank form.

●Job Aid: Approved Grounds (555-245-772) — provides a description of all approved grounds.

Verifying site readiness

Before going on site, make sure the customer has:

●adequate power

●19-in. (48-cm) 4-post data racks securely installed to EIA-310D (or equivalent) standards and grounded

●a local area network set up and running

●a network administrator available the day of the installation

If you are staging the installation at a location other than the customer’s site, verify that you have all the equipment by comparing the list of items ordered against the items in the boxes. Your project manager can supply you with an inventory list. Do not rely solely on the packing slips inside the boxes.
