1. Prerequisites
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
This chapter describes the following prerequisites for the installation of hardware for an AUDIX Voice
Power R3.0 system:
•Verifying the selected site
•Gathering the tools required
•Reviewing safety considerations
•Identifying factory-assembled (ALT) systems
VERIFYING THE SELECTED SITE
Verify that the site selected for the AUDIX Voice Power R3.0 equipment provides the following:
•Easy access for cabling
•Adequate working space for the system administrator and others who will be using the system
•A grounded, nonswitched outlet providing 115 VAC, 50-60 Hz, and 220W dedicated exclusively to the
the AUDIX Voice Power R3.0 computer
NOTE In areas with volatile power (brown-outs or frequent power surges), you must also
provide surge protection and power backup.
•Temperature range of 50 to 100°F (10 to 38°C)
•Humidity range of 20 to 80%, noncondensing
In addition, make sure the site is secure and provides protection from excessive sunlight, heat, cold,
chemicals, static electricity, magnetic fields, vibration, and grime.

GATHERING THE TOOLS REQUIRED
To install AUDIX Voice Power R3.0 hardware, you must have the following tools:
•No. 1 or no. 2 Phillipsscrewdriver
•Medium-width, flat-blade screwdriver
•3/16-inch nut driver (recommended)

REVIEWING SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
WARNING
Electronic equipment can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Do not touch any electronic
component unless you are properly grounded.
Take the following precautions to prevent damage to the equipment and yourself:
•Make sure you are familiar with the procedures necessary to prevent electrostatic damage to equipment.
•Shut off all power and remove all cables from equipment.
•Properly ground a work mat and wrist strap.
•Place the equipment on the work mat.
•Place the grounded wrist strap on your bare wrist. (Your wrist strap must contact your skin directly—
do not wear it over your clothes.)

IDENTIFYING FACTORY-ASSEMBLED (ALT) SYSTEMS
If your customer ordered the complete hardware platform (an AT&T 6386 WGS) with the AUDIX Voice
Power R3.0 package, the AT&T factory has preassembled much of the hardware and all of the software as
part of the assemble, load, and test (ALT) process. The factory identifies ALT systems by placing an
orange sticker over the door of the floppy disk drive.
Before beginning the installation, look for this sticker. If it is present, the procedures in Chapter 2,
Preparing the Mother Board, and Chapter 3, Installing Circuit Boards, have been completed at the factory.
You will only have to make the necessary connections to the switch and peripherals and perform the
required testing.
If you are installing an ALT system, skip the next two chapters. Begin with Chapter 4, Making System
Connections, and continue to the end of this document.

2. Preparing the Mother Board
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Certain configurations of an AUDIX Voice Power system require that you access the mother board to
install additional memory and/or disable the second serial port.
INSTALLING ADDITIONAL MEMORY
This procedure is required for all systems with less than 8Mbytes of RAM currently installed. If you do not
need to install additional memory, skip this section. Your next step will be one of the following:
•If you are integrating the AUDIX Voice Power system with a System 75/DEFINITYG1 or G3
Communications System, continue with Disabling the Second Serial Port later in this chapter.
•If you are integrating the AUDIX Voice Power system with any other switch, continue with Chapter 3,
Installing Circuit Boards.
There are two parts to this procedure:
•Adding single in-line memory modules (SIMMs) to the mother board
•Installing the total onboard RAM jumper
Adding SIMMs to the Mother Board
1. Locate the empty SIMM sockets on the WGS mother board.
NOTE The location differs for each WGS model; see Figures 2-1 through 2-3 for the SIMM
socket location on individual models. (There are two versions of the 6386/25 mother
board. Compare the mother board in the WGS you are installing to Figures 2-2 and 2-3
to determine which version you have.)
2. If you are installing a 6386/33 WGS, disconnect all cables that cover the air deflector. Remove the air
deflector by gently pulling it outward from the chassis. Remove the cables connected to the hard
drive and floppy drive and fold them out of the way (near the disk controller circuit card) to gain
access to the SIMM sockets.
If you are installing a 6386/25 WGS, skip this step and continue with step 3.

3. Using Figure 2-4 as a guide, complete the following steps a through c to insert the first SIMM into
the empty socket:
C
A
B C
D
Figure 2-4. Inserting the SIMMs Into Sockets
a. Holding the SIMM by the edges (A) only, align the first SIMM with the left slot of the first
socket (B).
NOTE Always insert the first SIMM into the left slot and the second SIMM into the
right slot of each socket.
WARNING
Use extreme care when inserting the SIMM. Too much force will break the
plastic retaining clips (C).
b. Insert the contact edge into the socket first (the chips should be on the left side of the SIMM).
Holding the SIMM at an angle, press down gently until you feel the SIMM seat in the socket
(you will feel only a slight difference when the SIMM seats).
If you do not think the SIMM is seated correctly, gently open the retaining clips just enough to
pull the top edge of the SIMM away from the clips. Reseat the SIMM.
c. When the SIMM is seated, gently push the top edge of the SIMM into a vertical position
(toward the top edge of the retaining clips) until it snaps into place (D).
4. Repeat steps 3a through 3c to insert the second SIMM into the right slot of the same socket.
5. Repeat steps 3a through 3c for the remaining SIMMs, if applicable.
Continue with the next section, Installing the Total Onboard RAM Jumper.

Installing the Total Onboard RAM Jumper
This procedure provides instructions for installing/moving the total onboard RAM jumper to indicate
8Mbytes of memory. It is required only if you completed the previous procedure, Installing Additional
Memory.
Refer to Figures 2-5 through 2-7 for the jumper locations on the 6386/33, 6386/25 version 1, and the
6386/25 version 2 WGS, respectively.
On a 6386/33 WGS
1. Leave the jumper on pins E6 and E8.
2. Move the jumper from pins E11 and E13 and place it on pins E7 and E9.
If you are integrating the AUDIX Voice Power system with a System 75/DEFINITY G1 or G3
Communications System, continue with the next section, Disabling the Second Serial Port.
If you are integrating the AUDIX Voice Power system with any other switch, skip the next section and
continue with Chapter 3, Installing Circuit Boards.
