Site location
As with most electronic equipment, the environmental considerations for this site need to observe good common
sense. Provide a dry, clean, and accessible area.
Locate space in the telephone equipment room, which will provide easy connection to the termination blocks and
110 VAC power.
The location should be no further than 1,000 feet from the farthest phone.
Ambient room temperature must be 40
0
–80
0
(F.), and relative humidity no higher than 90%.
Notes:
Do not
place the equipment or run phone cabling near high voltage electrical equipment or electrical lines
susceptible to high voltage surges from air conditioner compressors,
etc.
Do not
mount the equipment in a place that receives direct sunlight.
IP 900 D/A Carrier Card installation instructions
Important:
Before installing, verify that the system is running the appropriate system software. If it isn’t, download the
correct version from the ESI Resellers’ Web site and install it on the system
.
ALWAYS power-down the system BEFORE adding or replacing any hardware.
Also, be sure to
observe all proper procedures regarding the prevention of electrostatic discharge (ESD) when performing
the following procedures; otherwise circuit boards may suffer damage.
Whenever you change the module configuration, you
must
create a
backup file
for the new configuration to
be able to perform the Restore function later.
After removing an IP 900 D/A Carrier Card from the box, install it as follows in the IP Server 900.
1.
Loosen the two thumbscrews on either side of the Master Control Unit that secure the base tray to the top,
and then slide the bottom tray out and away from the top cover.
2.
With the bank of eight RJ-45 connectors facing toward you, align the IP 900 D/A Carrier Card with the six
mounting standoffs. Use the screws that ship with the IP 900 D/A Carrier Card to secure the new IP 900
D/A Carrier Card to the standoffs. (You may have leftover screws.)
DON’T
over-tighten the screws; it will
strip the standoffs.
3.
A cable is attached to connector
J20
of the new IP 900 D/A Carrier Card. Connect the cable’s other end to
connector
J15
of the Master Control Unit’s main board.
4.
Connect the four-wire power cord attached to the IP 900 D/A Carrier Card to the main board of the Master
Control Unit labeled
PC POWER
(
J8
).
5.
Slide the bottom tray back into the top case, and secure the two pieces together by tightening the
thumbscrews.
6.
If you have no more IP 900 D/A Carrier Cards or modules to install at this time, power-up and program
the system.
