2 Job Aid: Replacing the Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) for the Avaya G450 Media Gateway
Replacing or inserting an MP20 or MP80 VoIP module
The G450 has four slots for media resources modules. Each slot can accommodate either an
MP20 or an MP80 DSP daughterboard, each providing 20 or 80 VoIP channels, respectively.
The basic configuration includes one MP20 or MP80 daughterboard in one of the four slots. You
can replace an MP20 or MP80 daughterboard or insert one into an empty slot.
The slots are located on the G450 main board. You must pull out the main board to remove or
insert a media resources module. The G450 supports hot insertion and removal of the main
board without power drop. However, all services are suspended while the G450 main board is
out, and all calls are disconnected. Any translation and other data that is in the running
configuration but has not been saved to the startup configuration is lost.
This procedure requires the following steps:
1. Removing the main board
2. Removing an MP20 or MP80 module — Skip this step if you are inserting a daughterboard
into an empty slot.
3. Inserting an MP20 or MP80 module
4. Reinserting the main board
Removing the main board
ELECTROSTATIC ALERT:
ELECTROSTATIC ALERT: Hold the module only by the edges to avoid damage from static electricity. Do not
touch the top or bottom of the circuit board. If possible, wear a wrist-strap and use
an anti-static bag.
!CAUTION:
CAUTION: The connector pins can be bent or damaged if the module is handled roughly, or if
misaligned and then forced into position.
To remove the main board:
1. Unscrew the two captive screws, one at each side of the main board front panel (see
Figure 1).
2. Open the latches on both sides of the main board.
3. Grasp the latches and pull out the main board from its slot.
4. Place the main board carefully on a table.
