Hot Swap

The following Avaya Media Modules are hot swappable:

For procedures on adding, removing, or replacing Media Modules, refer to "Inserting Media Modules" in the "Installation and Upgrades for the Avaya G700 Media Gateway controlled by an Avaya S8300 or S8700 Media Server, 555-234-100", and Media Module Replacement

CAUTION: The S8300 Media Server is NOT hot swappable and can reset the entire G700 upon insertion or removal, as well as resetting each G700 that is currently registered with it. When removing the S8300, initiate a shutdown process by first depressing the button (for 2 seconds) located next to the fourth GREEN "Ok-to-Remove" LED (specific to the S8300). This LED will first blink; then go steady. Once steady, this GREEN LED indicates that the disk drive has been shut down properly and is ready to be removed. See Replacing the S8300 Media Server.

Note: This server can be a primary server for a network of IP endpoints and G700 Media Gateways, or it can be configured as a Local Survivable Processor (LSP), to become active only if connectivity to the primary server is lost. Most of the material in this book applies to the S8300 Media Server configuration; only a few parts apply to the LSP configuration.

CAUTION: If you remove the S8300 before the disk is shut down, you may corrupt important data. See Replacing the S8300 Media Server.

CAUTION: The Avaya Expansion Modules and Cascade Modules -- are NOT hot-swappable. They are service-disrupting and can reset the entire G700 upon insertion or removal. Power down the system, including shutting down the S8300 hard drive, if present, prior to any insertion or removal of Avaya Expansion and Cascade modules.
