An Avaya Messaging Application Server (MAS) contains a single Integrated
Drive Electronics (IDE) disk drive. If the drive fails, the machine
cannot function until the drive is replaced, the operating system
is reinstalled, and crucial data is restored from the system data
that has been backed up.
Replacing the IDE drive
To replace the single IDE (hard disk) drive in an MAS:
- Verify that the replacement equipment is on site and appears
to be in usable condition, with no obvious shipping damage.
- Remove the drive cage.
- Replace and restore the IDE drive as described
below.
Replace and restore the IDE drive
To replace an IDE drive and restore system data:
- With the drive cage assembly on a clean, static-free surface,
remove the 4 mounting screws that secure the disk drive to the
bottom of the drive cage. See Removing or
replacing an IDE drive.

Caution!
Support the drive when you remove the screws. Otherwise,
it may drop when it comes loose.

- Configure the replacement drive as the IDE bus master.
- Locate the 9-pin master/slave connector on the rear of the
drive. See IDE drive jumper settings.
- Place a jumper over the set of pins at either end of this
connector to set up this drive as a master. Figures on the drive
identify the different jumper settings.
- Insert the new IDE drive in the drive cage, with its connector
facing to the rear.
- Reattach the 4 mounting screws to secure it to the bottom of
the cage.
- Reinstall the drive cage and power
up the system.
- Return the system to service by using Appendix F in the Installation
guide (pdf). Steps include reinstalling the operating system
and restoring crucial data from system backup files.
