Registration

In order to receive support from Avaya Services, Avaya Customers and Avaya Channel Partners
must have their end user product information in Global Registration Tool (GRT).

End user product install base is a pre-requisite for services support of Avaya Converged Platform.
Registration establishes accurate inventory, test SAL connectivity, alarm configuration (if
necessary), and ensures proper on-boarding of customers into all levels of Avaya support.
General information on registration can be found at https://support.avaya.com/registration.

Avaya Global Registration Tool (GRT)

The Avaya Associate and / or the Channel partner need to make sure that the customer FL
reflects the install base information for the Avaya Converged Platform Server. The server serial
number would be included in this information. The following process must be adhered to by the
Avaya Associate and/ or Channel partner:

GRT at:

• Avaya Partner to check Functional Location (FL) at “View Install Base”

- If FL is good = no action

- If FL is not good – “Equipment/Site move only” process to follow

Dell server overview

The Avaya Converged Platform servers category includes Dell servers that support Avaya
software solutions, some requiring additional hardware and memory requirements beyond the
standard configuration. This book covers the standard configuration only—consult specific Avaya
product documentation for application-specific or solution-specific server configurations.

• Avaya Converged Platform servers are supplied under an OEM relationship and Avaya
servers are treated differently than commercially available servers from the vendors.

• Avaya Converged Platform servers are turnkey appliances. No servers designed for a
particular application can be repurposed for use with another application. The only exception
to this is when an application has provided an upgrade or migration path from an existing

training materials.

• Avaya Converged Platform 130 servers must not be updated with BIOS or firmware updates
from the vendor’s website. Only Avaya provided BIOS/Firmware updates can be used.
Updating directly from the vendor’s website will result in an unsupported configuration. BIOS/
Firmware updates are made available on

• Avaya Converged Platform 130 ESXi updates should only be obtained from Avaya. Updating
directly from the hardware vendor or VMware’s websites will result in an unsupported
configuration. Note that the OEM server vendor (in this case Dell) provides Avaya with their
latest certified package of the ESXi software. This ensures that any updates will be
compatible with the underlying hardware, drivers, etc. Once Avaya has an update from the
vendor, the new image is fully vetted with the Avaya solutions to assess any potential
performance or capacity impacts. This image is then made available on http://plds.avaya.com
and is customer installable.

• Do not contact Dell for Service; all support, warranty, repair, and maintenance are through
the Avaya processes.

• Avaya strongly recommends that all servers are protected with an uninterrupted Power
Supply for power surge and interruption protection. Avaya is not responsible for servers
damaged by power surges, brown outs, black outs etc. when the server is connected to
standard power mains and has no protection.

• Dell’s RAID battery is a consumable item that can be purchased as a part without a Service
ticket. Customers are responsible for installing them, the procedure for which is in the
Maintaining and troubleshooting document or in appropriate OEM vendor documentation.

• Quality assurance - product integrity testing or environmental international restrictions/ has
been completed by Dell and verified with Avaya through the use of Design for Environmental
Checklists. These lists include: batteries, printed wiring boards, plastic parts, product
packaging, RoHS, green requirements, and energy efficiency.

Chapter 3: Installation

Installation checklist

Use the following checklist to complete the installation of the server.

No. Task Description Notes

1 Discharge electrostatic energy. See Electrostatic discharge on

page 20.

2 Inspect package contents. See Package contents on

page 21.

3 Install the server using the rail kit. See Installing the server on

page 22.

4 Attach cables. See Attaching cables on

page 26.

5 Connect power. See Connecting power on

page 27.

The following items are application-specific. Refer to the application-specific documentation for
additional information on:

• Initial configuration and IP address assignment.

• Ethernet port cabling.

• Application shutdown procedures.

Electrostatic discharge

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a discharge of stored static electricity that can damage equipment
and impair electrical circuitry. Electrostatic voltages can result from friction including, pulling
cabling through conduits, walking across carpeted areas, and building static charge in clothing.
When you improperly handle electronic components, ESD damage occurs and can result in
complete or intermittent failures. While networking equipment is commonly designed and tested to
withstand common mode ESD events, voltage can sometimes discharge to some connector pins,
which can potentially damage the networking equipment.

Package contents

To protect against ESD damage, take the following measures before you connect data cables to
the device:

• Always use antistatic wrist straps. Make sure you adjust the strap to provide good skin
contact.

• Ensure that you properly ground work surfaces and equipment racks for protection against
electrostatic discharge. You must connect the common point to the building ground wire. In a
properly wired building, the nearest reliable ground is typically at the electrical outlet.

• Avoid contact between equipment and clothing. The wrist or ankle strap protects only the
equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

• Avoid touching any connector pins.

• Do not remove the wrist or ankle strap until the installation is complete.

Package contents

The following items are provided with your server. Contact Avaya Support if any of the following
items are not present.

• Dell A7 ReadyRails II sliding rail assembly kit
