Note:
Avaya has developed special hardware platforms for customers with harsh environmental
conditions. These platforms have been tested to meet stringent physical and environmental
requirements (i.e., shock, vibration, EMI, etc.) imposed by the United States Navy for use on
their ships. The platforms make use of specialized racks and reinforcements. If you wish to
obtain information about the design and implementation of such a ruggedized solution, contact
the Avaya Navy Shipboard Services organization.
Before mounting the Branch Gateway
Procedure
1. Ensure that the rack is bolted to the floor and is earthquake-protected, if required.
If the rack is not securely fixed in place, do not proceed with the installation.
2. If the Branch Gateway is being mounted in a rack with other equipment already installed,
the Branch Gateway must be positioned to avoid imbalance.
Result
Note:
The Branch Gateway weighs under 11 pounds (5 kg) empty and between 13 and 14 pounds
(between 6 and 7 kg) when equipped with media modules. The EM200 weighs under 11
pounds (5 kg) empty and between 12 and 13 pounds (between 5 and 6 kg) when equipped
with media modules.
Branch Gateway racks
The Branch Gateway mounts in a standard 19-inch rack.
You can fasten the Branch Gateway to the rack either at the front of the Branch Gateway or at the
middle. In either case, mounting brackets must be attached to the Branch Gateway.
There are two types of mounting brackets provided with the Branch Gateway:
• Without cable guides. Two mounting brackets without cable guides are provided.
• With cable guides. One mounting bracket with cable guides is provided. This bracket
provides guides for electrical cables and is useful for cable management.
Brackets without cable guides
Mounting brackets without cable guides can be attached in either of the following positions:
• To each side of the front of the Branch Gateway for fastening the chassis to the rack at the
front
• To the middle of each side panel of the Branch Gateway for fastening the chassis to the rack
at the middle
