equipment damage, review the safety instructions before handling the
equipment.
WARNING
Failure to follow the safety instructions in this chapter could result
in personal injury.
CAUTION
Failure to follow the safety instructions in this chapter could result
in damage to equipment.

16 Safety instructions
•Get help with heavy components or components that are to be placed in
the upper section of a rack.
Power supply cables
The power supply cables must be no longer then 4.5 m in length and must
have attachment plugs rated not less than 3A. Flexible power supply cables
must be compatible with Article 400 of NEC and Table 11 and 12 of the CEC.
Handling circuit cards
CAUTION
Static electricity can damage circuit cards. Wear an antistatic wrist
strap when handling circuit cards or their components.
Follow these precautions when handling circuit cards:
1. Unpack or handle cards away from electric motors, transformers, or
similar machinery.
2. Handle cards by the edges only. Do not touch the contacts or
components.
3. Set cards on a protective antistatic bag. If an antistatic bag is not
available, hold the card or set it in a card slot unseated.
4. Store cards in protective packing.
5. Do not stack cards on top of each other unless they are packaged.
6. Wear a properly connected antistatic wrist strap when you work on the
equipment.

are supported in your area.
This document provides the information necessary to install and configure a
Media Gateway 1000E PRI Gateway (MG 1000E PRI Gateway).
The MG 1000E PRI Gateway is a digital trunk gateway that supports up
to eight E1/T1 spans.
The MG 1000E PRI Gateway contains the following new components:
•an E1/T1 card (NTDW70AA) that provides a base of four spans and
allows an additional four spans with an expansion daughterboard
(NTDW75AA) for a total of a possible eight spans
•a 2u Gateway chassis that includes power supply, backplane, and fan
The MG 1000E PRI Gateway includes following existing hardware
components:
•Media Gateway Controller (MGC) (NTDW60BA)
•up to two DSP daughterboards used with the MGC:
— 96-port daughterboard (NTDW64AA)
