Pre-Installation Information—
S8700 Media Server
Avaya™ S8700 Media Server with MCC1 or SCC1 Media Gateway
Avaya™ S8700 Media Server with G600 Media Gateway

This job aid provides the information, hardware requirements, and computer hardware and software specifications
necessary for installing an Avaya™ S8700 Media Server with either MCC1/SCC1 Media Gateways or G600 Media
Gateways. It covers the following items:
■ Required information
■ Site Requirements
■ Required hardware
■ Computer specifications

Required information

Before going on site, make sure the customer has a local area network set up and running and a network
administrator available the day of the installation. Before beginning the installation, refer to the filled-out job aid
titled Pre-Installation Network Planning Forms—S8700 Media Server.

Site Requirements

The Avaya S8700 Media Server control network components consist of the 2 media servers, the Ethernet
switch(es), and the 2 UPSs. These components are designed to be mounted in an open (not a cabinet), standard
19-inch (48-centimeter) equipment rack. We do not recommend a rack cabinet as it may not allow sufficient
ventilation.

The customer is responsible for providing sturdy racks built to the EIA 310D (or equivalent) standards and
installing, securing, and grounding them per local code and rack specifications before the equipment is mounted in
them. The rack must be rated at a minimum of 200 pounds (90 kilograms). Make sure that the screws that come
with the rack are available. Also, make sure that the rail kits, required to support the very heavy UPSs, are installed
on the rack or available for installation. The customer must also provide AC power to the rack from a nonswitched
outlet.

Equipment Specifications

This section provides specifications for the control network components and the media gateways.

Control Network Components

The Avaya S8700 Media Server control network components consist of the 2 media servers, the 1 or 2 Ethernet
switch(es), and the 2 UPSs. See ‘‘Control Network Components Specifications’’.

The internal room temperature must not exceed 43 deg C (110 deg F)

Media Gateways

The Avaya media gateways should be installed in a well-ventilated area. Maximum equipment performance is
achieved at an ambient temperature between 40 and 120 deg F (4 and 49 deg C) for a short-term operation (not
more than 72 consecutive hours or 15 days in a year) and up to 110 deg F (43 deg C) for continuous operation. The
relative humidity range is 10% to 95% at up to 84 deg F (29 deg C).

The other Environmental Considerations and System Protection requirements described in the Hardware Guide for
the Avaya™ Communication Manager under "Site Requirements" apply to the Avaya media gateways.

‘‘Media Gateway Specifications’’ below provides the dimensions for 3 types of media gateways. Refer to the
Hardware Guide for the Avaya™ Communication Manager for more detailed information.

Avaya MCC1 Media Gateway

Installation requires 38 inches (97 centimeters) of clearance in the rear and at least 3 feet (91 centimeters) of
clearance in the front of the cabinet to permit the door to open.

Avaya SCC1 Media Gateway

Installation requires 16 inches (41 centimeters) of clearance in the rear, and 3 feet (91 centimeters) of clearance in
the front.

Avaya G600 Media Gateway

Installation requires 12 inches (30 centimeters) of clearance in the rear, and 18 inches (45 centimeters) of
clearance in the front, which is consistent with the EIA 310D data rack standards. In a multiple media gateway
configuration, the dimensions of the TDM/LAN cable require that media gateways be mounted directly over each
other (flush). For information on the power sources, see ‘‘Chassis Power Source Information’’ and ‘‘Circuit
Breakers for AC-Powered Media Gateways’’.

The Avaya G600 Media Gateway can be mounted at its midpoint by removing the mounting brackets and
remounting them at a medial position.
