Inserting Media Modules - Avaya G450 Manual

Installing the Branch Gateway

Inserting media modules

About this task
After you have inserted the S8300D or S8300E server module, if applicable, insert the rest of the
media modules. Make sure to insert each module in a permissible slot. Remove the blank plate
from the empty bay.
Electrostatic alert:
Hold media modules only by the edges to avoid damage from static electricity. Do not touch
the top or bottom of the circuit board. If possible, wear a wrist-strap and use an anti-static bag.
Caution:
The connector pins can be bent or damaged if the module is handled roughly, or if misaligned
and then forced into position.
Caution:
Separate ESD paths to the chassis ground connect to the media modules at the spring-loaded
captive screws. Use a screwdriver to ensure the captive screws are securely tightened to
prevent damage to the equipment.
Procedure
1. Position the media module before the selected bay on the front of the Branch Gateway
chassis and engage both sides of the module in the interior guides.
2. Slide the module slowly into the chassis, maintaining an even pressure to assure that the
module does not become twisted or disengaged from the guides.

3. Apply firm pressure to engage the connectors.
The media module connector has pins of different lengths. The long pins engage first to
provide grounding. Medium length and short pins provide power and signal.
