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

Prepare the G700 Media Gateway

The instructions that follow guide you through a process of preparing the Avaya™ G700 Media Gateway
after you have mounted the empty chassis in the rack. It is possible to equip an empty G700 chassis
before positioning it in the rack. If you are working where space is limited, you may wish to prepare the
G700 before rack insertion.
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
1
Remove the screws from the bracket kit.
2
Position a bracket over the desired mounting position.
3
Affix the bracket to the chassis with the screws provided.
4
Tighten with the screwdriver.
5
Repeat on the other side.
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.
2
Turn the G700 Media Gateway over to allow the feet to be mounted.
3
Position one foot into the mounting site near the corner of the chassis.
4
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.
