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.

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