Rack power and grounding
To ensure a complete power and grounding installation:
• In rack-mount server installations, ensure the Avaya CallPilot
equipment racks are isolated from other foreign sources of ground. Acceptable isolation
methods include: isolation pads, grommeted washers, chassis side-rail strips, and non-
conducting washers (not included.)
• In rack-mount server installations where other equipment is also installed in the same
rack, ensure that all equipment derives ground from the same service panel as Avaya
CallPilot and the switch.
Connecting the server to power
Before you begin
Ensure that proper power and grounding are available for all the power outlets serving the
CallPilot server and its associated peripherals. Power for these devices must be wired and
fused independently of all other receptacles and referenced to the same ground as the PBX
system.
A qualified electrician must implement the single-point ground reference as required among
the power outlets of the CallPilot server, its associated peripherals, and the power outlets of
the switch.
Provide a sufficient number of properly grounded power outlets or power bars for all equipment.
The single-point ground (SPG) required by the system can be an isolated ground (IG) bus or
AC equipment ground (ACEG) bus in the service panel or transformer. The system must be
connected to safety ground or protective earth in accordance with NEC requirements. For
international use, the system must be connected to safety ground or protective earth in
accordance with Paragraph 2.5 of EN60950/IEC950.
Note:
For a complete description of approved ground sources and methods, see Communication
Server 1000M and Meridian 1: Large System Planning and Engineering (NN43021-220).
Insulated ground wire must be used for system grounding.
