Mount The G700 Media Gateway In The Rack - Avaya G700 Installation And Upgrades

2 Installing Hardware for the G700 Media Gateway and S8300 Media Server: Installation and Cabling
!
CAUTION:
When handling any components of an S8300 Media Server with G700 Media Gateways,
wear an anti-static wrist ground strap. Connect the strap to an approved ground such as an
unpainted metal surface.
The G700 can stand on a flat surface or be mounted in the standard 19-inch rack. If the G700 is to be
mounted in a rack, you have the choice of fastening the unit to the rack either at the front of the unit or at the
middle. This positioning choice will depend on space arrangements. In either case, mounting brackets must
be attached to the sides of the chassis, either at the center or to the front of the chassis.
Affix Mounting Brackets to the G700
Remove the screws from the bracket kit.
1.
Position a bracket over the desired mounting position.
2.
Affix the bracket to the chassis with the screws provided.
3.
Tighten with the screwdriver.
4.
Repeat on the other side.
5.
If the G700 is to be a table-top unit, four feet must be attached to the bottom of the unit. The procedure to do
this is the following:
Affix Feet on the Table-Top G700
Use this procedure only if the G700 will be installed as a table-top unit (not in a data rack).
1 . Remove the four feet from their packaging.
1. Turn the G700 Media Gateway over to allow the feet to be mounted.
Position one foot into the mounting site near the corner of the chassis.
2.
3. Press the plastic rivet into the foot with a stylus until it is firmly seated on the chassis.
You have now prepared the G700 Media Gateway for mounting, and, assuming you are going to use a data
rack, you are ready to mount the chassis in the rack.

Mount the G700 Media Gateway in the Rack

The G700 Media Gateway mounts in a standard 19-inch rack. It is held in place by screws through the two
mounting ears. The unit can be mounted either in the center of the unit or at the front of the unit; however,
only the front mount allows use of the guides for electrical cables. To avoid balancing problems and cabling
complications, the racks should be filled from the bottom; that is, mount units in the lower positions first.
Before mounting the G700, check for the following:
• Ensure that the rack is bolted to the floor and is earthquake-protected, if required. If the rack is not
securely fixed in place, do not proceed with the installation.
• If the G700 is being mounted in a rack with other equipment already installed, the G700 must be
positioned to avoid imbalance.
• The G700 is shipped with 3 sets of four mounting screws. Choose the set of screws that match the
screw holes in the rack being used.
