Introduction
1.2 Installation Prerequisites
For the installation to proceed without interruption, it is important that you verify that you have all
necessary materials on hand.
A TMG7800 system can range in size from 2 to 22U in vertical rack space, at full capacity with
redundant N+1 patch panels. In addition, if your system is configured to use multiple groups of 1+1
patch panels, the total vertical rack space may exceed 22U.
Figure 1.7 Example of an equipment rack-space allocation
1.2.1 7800-CTRL
For information about the 7800-CTRL, refer to Dell’s documentation:
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/poweredge-r330/manuals
Adequate space for the installation of the 7800-CTRL
You must mount the 7800-CTRL on a 19" equipment rack (customer provided). Your 7800-CTRL is a
1U unit. Plan for an additional 1U space on the equipment rack for a redundant 7800-CTRL.
Note The depth of the 7800-CTRL is greater than the 16” (406mm) depth of the 7800 series
telecom units. It is important to plan for an equipment rack of adequate size.

Automatic Protection Switching (APS), plan for an additional 1U space on the equipment rack for a
second 7800 N+1 patch panel.
Adequate power supply and power connections
Each 7800 N+1 patch panel requires two power connections to provide for its redundant power supply.

1.3 Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It may occur if
electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and may cause complete or intermittent failure.
Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing modules:
• Ensure that the Tmedia VoIP gateways are grounded.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure that it makes good contact with your
skin. Connect the wrist strap clip to an unpainted surface of the Tmedia VoIP Gateway
or the grounded equipment rack in order to channel away all ESD voltage safely to
ground. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must be
in proper working condition.
• If no wrist strap is available, and you must work with Tmedia VoIP Gateways, ground
yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.
