An S8300 version A is replaced with an S8300 version B if:
The system is a pre-2.1 release of Communication Manager running on an S8300A and
●
the customer placed an order to upgrade to release 2.1 or later.
The S8300A Server the customer has is faulty and a replacement unit of an S8300A
●
Server is not available.
There is Tier III approval to replace the S8300A because of an issue in the existing server
●
and/or the software release.
When a pre-2.1 release of Communication Manager is running on an S8300A, and you want to
upgrade to a 2.1 or later release, you must replace the S8300A with an S8300B. The B version
supports any Communication Manager release but the A version supports only pre-2.1
releases. The replacement S8300B is normally shipped without Communication Manager
software. In this case, you need to install Communication Manager software on the S8300
Server and configure the server. These procedures are covered in Installing and Upgrading the
Avaya S8300 Server, 555-234-100.
