Choosing The Cabinet Or Chassis And Slot Locations - Avaya CS 1000E Upgrade Procedures

Choosing the cabinet or chassis and slot locations

Cabinet
Avaya Communication Server 1000E Upgrade
Once you have completed the backup and archive of the customer database,
shut down the system and remove the PCMCIA card from slot. You are now
ready to install the hardware.
A Media Gateway performs functions under the control of the Avaya
Communication Server 1000E Core call server. Traditionally, this core call
server was a CP II or CP IV in its own call server cabinet or chassis; however,
current Server cards sit in one of the Media Gateway slots. Slot location is
based on the type of system:
• For Cabinet systems, see "Cabinet" on
• For MG 1000E chassis systems, see "Chassis" on
• For MG 1010 chassis systems, see "MG 1010 chassis" on
• For Communication Server 1000S systems, see "Avaya Communication
Server 1000S" on
The Server card interfaces with the Media Gateway through the Gateway
Controller using the ELAN interface, and therefore does not require
backplane connectivity (other than power and slot ID). The following rules
apply to the preferential placement of the Server cards in the Media Gateway:
• The Server cards cannot be placed in slot 0 of any Media Gateway. Slot
0 is reserved for the Gateway Controller.
Note: The CP MG card functions as the Server and the Gateway
Controller while occupying Slot 0 in a Media Gateway.
• To allow for ease of cabling, the Server card can be placed in slots 1
through 10 (see Figure 4). The Signaling Server may be placed in slots 1
through 10 (see Figure 5 on
• If utilizing the Campus Redundancy High Availability (HA) Call Server
option, place the two CP PM call servers in separate Media Gateway
cabinets to allow for increased survivability. HA is not supported on a
Co-resident Call Server and Signaling Server system.
