Installing the Avaya™ S8700 Media Server with Avaya™ MCC1 or SCC1 Media Gateway
May 2003
The grounding methods for the DC-powered S8700 Multi-Connect configuration are more
complex than that of an AC-powered S8700 Multi-Connect configuration.
‘‘Typical Power and Ground for a DC power cabinet’’ on page 83
shows a typical power and
ground layout for a DC power cabinet. The size of the wire required for the -48 volt DC and -48
volt return must ensure the voltage supplied by the battery plant is maintained between -42.5
and -54.2 volts DC at all times for proper operation and to prevent hardware damage. The wire
must be sized for a maximum voltage drop of 0.5 VDC in each leg of the DC distribution.
