Environmental Verification; Power Verification; Grounding Verification - Avaya G700 Installation And Upgrades

2 Installing Hardware for the G700 Media Gateway and S8300 Media Server:

Environmental Verification

Verify that temperatures and clearances are within the recommended technical parameters. Consult
the table of Technical Specifications in Appendix A.
!
CAUTION:
Verify that temperature and clearance ranges are within tolerable limits. The thermal
sensors may shut down equipment if it is subjected to conditions beyond the recommended
limits. Equipment can be damaged if these restrictions are not respected.

Power Verification

Check that an adequate number of power outlets are available.Verify that the G700 Media Gateways
and the other equipment in the rack do not present a possible overcurrent or overload to the
customer's branch circuit and/or power distribution strip. Power requirements are listed in
A: Technical Information.
!
WARNING:
Do not overload the power circuit.

Grounding Verification

Ensure that the installation site has access to approved grounds and that either a trained technician or
a licensed electrician will be verifying all grounds and installing the Supplementary Ground
Conductor (consult
!
WARNING:
Installation in a Restricted Access Location and secure access are required in
Finland and Norway.
The G700 Media Gateway relies on two ground connections (mains plug with an earth contact and a
permanent Supplementary Ground Conductor). Because of unreliable earthing concerns in Finland
and Norway, the G700 Media Gateway must be installed in a Restricted Access Location (RAL). An
RAL is defined as an access that can be gained only by trained service personnel or customers who
have been instructed about the reasons for the restricted access and any safety precautions that must
be taken. In these cases, access to the G700 Media Gateway is gained by the use of a tool (such as a
lock and key) or other means of security.
If you have any questions about the safety conditions, contact your Project Manager. When you have
verified that the site is ready for a safe installation, proceed with the installation.
