Installing Hardware for the G700 Media Gateway and S8300 Media Server
Installation and Cabling
Installation and Upgrades for G700 and S8300 83
December 2003
If you are installing multiple G700s, continue building the stack. Up to 10 units can be linked together
(Figure 13, Cabling Multiple Units in a Single Rack, on page 90); these may be G700s or Avaya P330
family switches.
At this point, you have mounted the G700 chassis in the rack and are ready to insert S8300 Media Servers
and media modules as required in the planning documentation.
Insert the Avaya S8300 Media Server (If Necessary for Standalone Service or LSP)
The S8300 Media Server is inserted into the G700 Media Gateway slot #1 (v1), whether it is the primary
server or configured as a Local Survivable Processor (LSP). The S8300 can only be inserted in the slot
(v1) on the left side of the G700 Media Gateway. The LED module must b e pu lled from t he G700 chassis
to provide clearance for the S8300 Media Server.
NOTE:
If you need to install the CWY1 card (for embedded messaging) on the S8300, do so now.
CAUTION:
If you are removing an S8300, use the shutdown button to stop the operating system (p ress
and hold for 2-3 seconds). The OK to Remove LED will flash while the shutdown is in
progress and will turn steady green when it is safe to remove the S8300.
Insert the S8300 into Slot #1 of the G700 Media Gateway
1Clear the left side of the G700 Media Gateway.
aRemove the blank plate from slot #1.
bThen, disengage the LED module and remove it from the G700 Media Gateway.
