To maintain your Business Communications Manager (BCM) system, you can
replace damaged equipment, manage installed modules, and use BCM
utilities to monitor performance and track statistics.
Prerequisites to system maintenance
•Ensure your BCM system is properly installed. For more information about
installing a BCM system, see Nortel Business Communications Manager 450 5.0 Installation — System (NN40170-303).
System maintenance tasks
This work flow shows you the sequence of tasks you perform to maintain your
BCM system. To link to any tasks, click on System maintenance navigation
Do not use an electric or magnetized screwdriver near the hard disk.
You can lose the information stored on the disk. Shock can damage
the hard disk. Do not drop or hit the hard disk.

BCM450 internal component replacement procedures
This task flow shows you the sequence of procedures you perform to replace
an internal component in a BCM450 main unit. To link to any procedure, click
on BCM450 internal component replacement navigation (page 14).
This section describes how to replace a media bay module (MBM) installed in
your BCM450 main unit or expansion cabinet if it is defective or damaged.
This section describes replacing an MBM with the same type of MBM. If you
want to replace an MBM with a different type of MBM, you must treat it as a
new installation. Ensure the new MBM does not overrun any lines already
assigned to other MBMs.
Prerequisites
•Turn off the BCM450 system. For more information, see “Shutting down
the system for maintenance (page 36)”.
•Ensure the BCM450 main unit is disconnected from the AC power source.
Procedure steps
StepAction
1Remove any cabling from the MBM faceplate.
BCM450 internal component replacement 15
2Grasp the right edge of the MBM ejector lever with your thumb, index and
middle fingers.
3Pull outward to partially eject the MBM. Pull further on the lever to eject the
MBM from the bay.
4Grasp the top and bottom edges of the MBM, and remove it from the BCM
unit. Place the MBM in a clean, safe, and static-free area.
5Set the DIP switches on the new MBM to match the settings of the old MBM.
6Install the new MBM in the main unit or expansion cabinet. For more
information about installing an MBM, see Nortel Business Communications
Manager 450 Installation — System.
Remove the defective power supply from your BCM450 main unit or BCM450
expansion cabinet before installing the new power supply.
WARNING
Risk of leakage currents
You must disconnect the telephony and data networking cables from
the system before disconnecting the power cord from a grounded
outlet.
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage
Protect the hardware components against damage from electrostatic discharge. Always wear a grounded wrist strap before
you handle components. Always place the components in a
static-free container.
Procedure steps
StepAction
1Shut down the BCM450 system. For more information, see Shutting down
the system for maintenance (page 36).
2Disconnect all cables from the front of the base function tray.
3Disconnect the main unit and the expansion cabinet (if applicable) from the
AC power connection.
4Attach one end of the grounding strap to your wrist and the other end to a
grounded metal surface.
5Loosen the screws securing the power supply module (located at the back
of the unit, on the right).
6Pull handle located on the power supply module outward to remove the
After you remove the defective power supply, connect the new power supply
to your BCM450 main unit or BCM450 expansion cabinets.
Prerequisites
•Ensure that the new power supply is an auto adjust power supply.
Procedure steps
StepAction
1Firmly slide the power supply module directly into the power supply bay.
2Tighten the screws to secure the power supply module.
Removing the hard disk
Remove the damaged hard disk before installing the new hard disk.

Procedure steps
StepAction
1In Business Element Manager, go to Administration >System
Metrics>Disk Mirroring. Determine whether it is HDD-1 in the first (left)
hard disk slot or HDD-2 in the second (right) slot that has failed.
The Status section will list one of the drives as Failed and not Passed. If the
system has been rebooted since the failure has occurred, depending on the
type of hard disk failure, a second drive may not be listed in this section. In
that case, the drive that is installed but does not have a lit HDD LED and is
not listed in the Status section will be the failed disk to be replaced.
2Turn off the BCM450 system and disconnect it from the AC power source.
For more information, see Shutting down the system for maintenance
(page 36).
CAUTION
Risk of damage to equipment
Do not use an electric or magnetized screwdriver near the hard disk.
You can lose the information stored on the disk. Shock can damage
the hard disk. Do not drop or hit the hard disk.
