Prepare the G700 Media Gateway

The instructions that follow guide you through a process of preparing the Avaya G700 Media Gateway after you have mounted the empty chassis in the rack. It is possible to equip an empty G700 chassis before positioning it in the rack. If you are working where space is limited, you may wish to prepare the G700 before rack insertion.

CAUTION: When handling any components of an S8300 Media Server with G700 Media Gateways, wear an anti-static wrist ground strap. Connect the strap to an approved ground such as an unpainted metal surface.

The G700 can stand on a flat surface or be mounted in the standard 19-inch rack. If the G700 is to be mounted in a rack, you have the choice of fastening the unit to the rack either at the front of the unit or at the middle. This positioning choice will depend on space arrangements. In either case, mounting brackets must be attached to the sides of the chassis, either at the center or to the front of the chassis.

Affix Mounting Brackets to the G700

Begin _____________________

1. Remove the screws from the bracket kit.
2. Position a bracket over the desired mounting position.
3. Affix the bracket to the chassis with the screws provided.
4. Tighten with the screwdriver.
5. Repeat on the other side.

If the G700 is to be a table-top unit, four feet must be attached to the bottom of the unit. The procedure to do this is the following:

Affix Feet on the Table-Top G700

Begin _____________________

Use this procedure only if the G700 will be installed as a table-top unit (not in a data rack).

1. Remove the four feet from their packaging.
1. Turn the G700 Media Gateway over to allow the feet to be mounted.
2. Position one foot into the mounting site near the corner of the chassis.
3. Press the plastic rivet into the foot with a stylus until it is firmly seated on the chassis.

End _______________________

You have now prepared the G700 Media Gateway for mounting, and, assuming you are going to use a data rack, you are ready to mount the chassis in the rack.
