Before you install

Downloading recent firmware

Download any recently updated firmware for the G450 and media modules to your laptop. Visit
the Avaya Support website to check the latest firmware image file versions against the factory
installed versions in the hardware you are installing. Download any firmware image file
upgrades you need from the Avaya Support website, and any Communication Manager service
packs that may be required for the upgrade.

Obtaining the Electronic Preinstallation Worksheet (EPW)

The EPW is an Excel spreadsheet from which Avaya configuration wizards automatically pull
data to configure and install the S8300 Server and the G450 Media Gateway. The EPW is filled
in by the customer and project manager, and should be completed before installation.
For greatest efficiency, obtain the Electronic Preinstallation Worksheet (EPW) from the Avaya
Support website at http://support.avaya.com/avayaiw.

Site requirements

Inspect the site before you begin the installation. Verify that the site requirements have been
met for adequate environmental conditions, power and grounding availability, safety, and
security conditions. If you find discrepancies between the specifications necessary for proper
installation of equipment and the conditions on site, contact your project manager before
proceeding with the installation.
The G450 may be installed in a 19" rack, mounted on a wall, or placed on a sturdy table.
