Initial on-site tasks
l If the hard drive in the failed server is good, go to Initial tasks for replacing an S8500/B/C
server reusing the original hard drive on page 11.
l If the hard drive is not functional, make sure the customer has a recent backup of the
system files and translations that you can restore after you have replaced the hard drive. If
not, the server needs to be reconfigured and translations input as if it were a new
installation. See Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8500 server (03-300143) for
detailed procedures. Additionally, some illustrations of software installation and
configuration information appear later in this document.

Task Description
1 Log onto Maintenance Web
Interface
Connect a crossover cable to the services port on the
back of the server. Open a browser on your laptop.
Type 192.11.13.6 and press Enter to log onto the
Maintenance Web Interface as craft or dadmin.
2 Determine the software
release and any software
service packs
Under Server, click Software Version. Note the
software release and any installed software service
packs.
3 Determine if the customer
has a recent backup of data
Under Data Backup/Restore, select Backup Logs to
search for recent backup files. Check for the types of
data and dates. Verify that there is a recent,
successful backup of the system files and translations.
4 Record alarms and verify
hard drive functionality
Under Alarms, click Current Alarms. Note alarms on
the server not related to the hard drive.
In the Server alarms section, check the Source Listing
column for a HARD DISK entry. If it is there, then the
hard drive is failing and cannot be reused (see
Determining if a hard drive is functional
on page 34).
