Insert the Media Modules

Following the planning documentation, you can insert the required Media Modules into their designated bays. The G700 Media Gateway can accommodate up to four Media Modules, or plug-in circuit packs. The choice of Media Modules is dictated by the offer selected by the customer and the configuration of the system.

Consult the planning documentation and the order form to determine which modules you will be installing. The planning documents also indicate into which slots the modules are to be inserted. The Media Modules available at this time are:

• Avaya MM710 T1/E1 Media Module
• Avaya MM760 VoIP Media Module
• Avaya MM711 Analog Media Module
• Avaya MM712 DCP Media Module
• Avaya MM720 BRI Media Module

For detailed descriptions of the Media Modules see "Avaya MultiVantage Solutions Hardware Guide, 555-233-200".

WARNING: The Avaya G700 Media Gateway must not be operated with any slots open. Failure to cover empty slots with the supplied blank plates can cause overheating due to inadequate air distribution.

CAUTION: The connector pins can be bent or damaged if the module is handled roughly, or if misaligned and then forced into position.

CAUTION: Separate ESD paths to the chassis ground connect to the Media Modules at the spring-loaded captive screws. Ensure the captive screws are securely tightened to prevent damage to the equipment.

Insert Media Modules

Begin _____________________

1. Remove the blank plate from the empty bay.
2. Position the Media Module squarely before the selected bay on the front of the G700 Media Gateway chassis and engage both sides of the module in the interior guides.
3. Slide the module slowly into the chassis, maintaining an even pressure to assure that the module does not become twisted or disengaged from the guides.

4. Apply firm pressure to engage the connectors.

The Media Module connector has different length pins. The long pins will engage first to provide grounding. Medium length and short pins will provide power and signal.

5. Lock the Media Module into the chassis by tightening the spring-loaded captive screws on the front of the module.

WARNING: To prevent access to electrical hazards by unauthorized personnel and to ensure continued compliance to international radiated emissions requirements, all captive screws must be securely tightened such that they cannot be loosened without the use of a tool.

WARNING: After you have connected telephones to the various Media Modules, be sure to add circuit protection to the lines (See "Complete the Telephone Installation Process" on page�237).

At this point, you have readied the G700 inserted the S8300 if required, and inserted the Media Modules, as described in the planning documentation. Next, if required, the Expansion Module should be inserted into its bay.
