Installing the Avaya S8700 Media Server with an Avaya G650 Media Gateway
December 2003
!
WARNING:
It is very important to align the G650 Media Gateway with the correct holes in the frame because
the distance between each is not uniform. Use the G650/G600 Mounting Template, shipped with
each carrier, to help you align the holes.
Each G650 Media Gateway is 8U high. A typical data rack is 42U high. When you create a five-carrier
G650 Media Gateway stack, all but 3.5 inches (8.9 centimeters) of a typical rack is used. Mount the A
carrier low in the rack.
In a multiple G650 Media Gateway configuration, put the G650s in the rack with no vertical space
between them. If the G650 Media Gateways are not mounted adjacent with their fronts in the same
vertical plane, the TDM/LAN cable(s) cannot connect them.
Setting the carrier address ID
Set the carrier address ID either before or after installing each G650 Media Gateway. You set the carrier
address by inserting the address paddleboard in one of five connector slots on the upper right side of the
backplane. The slots are clearly marked as A, B, C, D, and E. All carriers ship with the address
paddleboard in connector slot A. If you are working on a B, C, D, or E carrier, you need to remove the
address paddleboard, and move it to the correct slot for a B, C, D, or E carrier.
1
Loosen the thumb screws on the fan assembly and pull it straight out as shown in
Figure 4,
Removing the fan assembly,
on page 71. You do not need to unplug the connection. You can place
the assembly on top of the cabinet or hang it from the rear connector panel using the screws on the
back of the assembly. Leave the fan assembly off until the unit is completely installed in the rack.
2
Verify and, if necessary, set the carrier address ID for each G650 Media Gateway as shown in
Figure 5, Setting the G650 Media Gateway carrier address ID,
on page 71. Place the address
paddleboard in the connector slot that you want, A, B, C, D, or E.
