- Installation verification on page 75
- Server access on page 87
- Installation troubleshooting on page 97 if problems occur during the installation.
Pre-installation requirements
This section describes the tasks that you must complete before you start the installation. You
complete certain tasks before you go on site and other tasks at the site.
PNC license settings for S8700-series Servers
For Communication Manager Release 4.0 and later releases, the two major types of port
network connectivity, IP-PNC and fiber-PNC (also called multiconnect), are both automatically
enabled in all licenses for S8700-series Server. As a result, unlike the license settings in
previous releases, platform 8 for IP-PNC and the Internet Protocol (IP) PNC feature attribute
are no longer needed and are not available as license options. For Release 4.0 and later
releases, you always select platform 6, multiconnect, in a license for an S8700-series Server.
Preinstallation tasks to complete at the customer site
Before you start the installation, you must:
●Verify that all the required equipment is on site
●Ensure that the preinstallation team completed the preinstallation tasks
●Install the DAL2 card, if used
Verifying that all the required equipment is on site
Compare the list of items that were ordered to the contents of the boxes to verify that you have
all the equipment. Your project manager can give you an inventory list. Do not rely on the
packing slips inside the boxes for the correct information.

Chapter 1: Introduction
10 Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8700-Series Server January 2008
Ensuring that the preinstallation tasks are complete
The preinstallation team completes the following tasks. If these tasks are not complete, do not
continue with the installation.
●Verify that the required number of open, customer-supplied, EIA-310D (or equivalent)
standard 19-in. (48-cm) 4-post equipment rack(s) is(are) properly installed and solidly
secured. Ensure that the screws that come with the racks are present. If you use a rack
cabinet, ensure that the cabinet has adequate ventilation.
●Verify that the rail kit to support the server is available to install.
●Verify that the rail kit that is required to support the UPS is installed on the rack or available
to install. For how to install the rails, see the documentation that comes with the rail kit.
●Verify that the equipment racks are grounded per local code. See Job Aid: Approved
Grounds (555-245-772).
●Verify that the customer-provided AC power to the rack is from a nonswitched outlet.
●Verify that cables for theTN2312BP (IPSI) circuit packs are labeled and run from the
control hardware rack to the port networks or that appropriate connectivity is provided.

About S8730 Server configurations
The S8730 Server comes with the option of two hard disk drives. In configurations with two hard
drives, the RAID level 1 feature is enabled, so that disk mirroring automatically creates a
complete set of data on both disks.
For different configurations of the S8730 Server:
●If the server has only one hard drive, the drive should be in bay 1 (the leftmost bay)
●If the server has two hard drives, the drives should be in bay 1 and bay 2.
After installation, do not attempt to move a drive from one bay to the other. If movement of
drives is necessary, the server must be reinstalled.
About RAID
One or more hard drives may be added to an S8730 Server in order to take advantage of the
RAID level 1 feature, which provides disk mirroring. In this configuration, a customer’s data is
mirrored on two disks, thus increasing the availability of the system. Each of the disks is
independent of each other and contains a complete copy of the data. No administration is
necessary to activate the RAID feature. Once an additional hard drive is installed,
Communication Manager recognizes the additional hard drive and automatically activates
RAID.
Note:
Note: The RAID level 1 feature is only available on S8730 Servers.
About server port connections
The following section explains how to connect the Ethernet ports on the back of the server.

S8700-series port connections
The network cable connections depend on the type of server, type of memory duplication, and
the type of control network. All cables are CAT5 or better patch cables except for the fiber cable
that interconnects the DAL2 cards for hardware duplication.
●For a guide to connect the cables to the servers for hardware duplication on the S8730
Server, see Figure 1: Duplication and control network cabling for hardware duplication
(S8730) on page 15.

About modem connections
Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8700-Series Server January 2008 19
About modem connections
Note:
Note: You cannot connect USB modems to rotary lines. A touch tone line is required.
On S8700-series Servers, connect a USB modem to the USB port on each server.
CAUTION:
!
CAUTION: Once you connect the modems to the servers, do not unplug the modem USB
cable on the active server. If you must replace the modem, replace the modem
when the server is in standby mode.
Connecting to collocated servers
!Important:
Important: Both servers share one telephone line.
To connect modems to collocated servers:
1. Install two RJ11 jack outlets wired to a single (1-Measured Business) telephone line.
2. Use the modular telephone cord that is supplied with the modem to connect one RJ11 jack
to each modem.
3. Use the USB cable that is supplied with the modem to connect one modem to server 1.
4. Use the USB cable to connect the other modem to server 2.
Connecting to separated servers
!Important:
Important: Each server has a dedicated telephone line.
To connect to separated servers:
1. For a server in each location, install one RJ11 jack outlet that is wired to a single
1-Measured Business telephone line.
2. Use the modular telephone cord that is supplied with the modem to connect one RJ11 jack
to each server.
3. Connect each modem, using the USB cable, to the server at each location.

Chapter 1: Introduction
20 Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8700-Series Server January 2008
Modem options
You set the modem options when you configure the server. You do not set options on the
modems themselves.
About media gateways
In a new installation, the S8700-series Servers work with only the Avaya G650 Media Gateway.
In a migration, the S8700-series Servers work with Avaya MCC1 and SCC1 Media Gateways in
a fiber-PNC configuration and G600 or CMC1 Media Gateways in an IP-PNC configuration.
The servers also work with Avaya G150, G250, G350, G450 and G700 Media Gateways. These
gateways register with the server either through the Processor Ethernet interface or through a
TN799DP C-LAN circuit pack.
Media gateways usually are installed in the same equipment room as the server rack hardware
or control network. However, you can install the media gateways in another location, including
another state or country.
About Processor Ethernet
Like a C-LAN circuit pack, Processor Ethernet provides connectivity to IP endpoints, gateways,
and adjuncts. The PE interface is a logical connection in the Communication Manager software
that uses a port on the NIC in the server. No additional hardware is needed to implement PE.
Starting with Release 3.1 of Communication Manager, the PE interface is enabled on the
S8700-Series Server to allow enhanced flexibility to connect to gateways, endpoints, and
adjuncts.
The PE interface is always enabled on an S8700-series Server pair for registration by an ESS
or an LSP. However, the PE interface is not supported on duplex servers for registration by an
H.248 gateway, H.323 endpoints, or adjuncts.
