Replacing the Avaya S8700
Media Server—Release 2.0 and
Later
This job aid describes the steps required to replace an Avaya S8700 Media Server running Release 2.0
and later of Communication Manager. You should replace the media server only to correct a problem,
such as a functional failure of the motherboard, the hard drive, or other components.
The hard drive in the replacement media server comes blank. If you are using this blank hard drive, you
must install the software from the CD-ROM that the customer received from an earlier installation of
Release 2.0 software. The software CD-ROM contains the Linux operating system and the appropriate
release of Avaya Communication Manager.
If the hard drive in the failed media server is good, you can replace the blank hard drive in the
replacement media server with the old hard drive.
Required Equipment
Verify that you have the following equipment and tools on site:
• Replacement S8700 Media Server
• CD-ROM with the software load (from the customer)
• Ethernet crossover cable for direct connection of your laptop to the media servers

• Electrostatic wrist ground strap and mat.
• Paper clip
Pre-Site Tasks
Before you go on site, verify that the following tasks have been done.
• Ask the customer for the Product ID for the media server being replaced. If the customer does not
have it, run the Automatic Registration Tool (ART) to obtain the Product ID number and port
number (customer dial-up) for the replacement media server.
