Chapter 4 Installing the server and peripheral devices

ATTENTION

The 1005r server is supplied with industry standard 48.3 cm (19 in.) rack rails that
can accommodate racks with a maximum depth of 61 cm (24 in.) between the
mounting posts. Check the rack you are using and ensure that the Nortel supplied
server rack rails are suitable for your specific installation requirements. For depths
greater than 61 cm (24 in.), Nortel recommends that you purchase a third-party
rack shelf that can safely hold up to 34 kg (75 lb.).

Connect peripheral devices as described in the remainder of this chapter.

Installing a High Availability system

The High Availability configuration is only supported on the 1005r platform.

In a High Availability configuration, a pair of peer CallPilot 1005r servers is
used in the place of a single server. Both servers are connected to the
same switch and are configured so that one CallPilot server is active (that
is, processing calls) and the other is standing by, ready to take over for the
first server if the active server fails due to a pre-determined failure condition.
The High Availability feature supports both automatic failovers, where the
software detects an error condition and triggers a failover to the standby
server, and manual failovers which are administrator initiated.

For a High availability system, Nortel recommends that you install both
servers on the same rack, preferably one server directly below the other.
This allows for greater ease in administration. Clearly label each server
for easy identification.

Follow the installation procedures in this document for each server, with the
following exceptions:

Do not connect the server to the Nortel Server Subnet, or the ELAN
subnet until directed to do so in the Server and Switch Configuration
guide.
