Installing Hardware for the G700 Media Gateway and S8300 Media Server
Installation and Cabling
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.
•
The G700 weighs 22.5 pounds (10 kg) empty and between 27 and 34 pounds (between 12 and 16
kg) when equipped with media modules. Two people may be needed to mount the G700 Media
Gateway in the rack.
