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.

Management of the TLS protocol configuration for vSphere 6.5 U2 Environment

As of March 2019, TLS v1.0 and TLS v1.1 are disabled in Avaya Converged Platform 130 servers
shipping from the Avaya integrator. TLS v1.0 and TLS v1.1 on servers shipped prior to March
2019 might be enabled. This section provides instructions for disabling TLS v1.0 and TLS v1.1.

Using the vCenter application

Management of the TLS protocol configuration requires direct interaction with the vCenter
application. The standard Avaya Converged Platform 130 offer does not include vCenter. Since
the ACP 130 server will most likely not have vCenter deployed, you can temporary use the free
version of the application.

Download a free 60–day trial of vCenter from the VMware website:

vmware/details?productId=614&downloadGroup=VC650

https://my.vmware.com/web/

TLS protocol management

This section covers the process for disabling TLS v1.0 and TLS v1.1 and enabling TLS v1.2 only
within the vCenter Server Appliance and ESXi host. By default, TLS v1.0, v1.1 and v1.2 are
enabled, TLS v1.2 cannot be disabled. Use TLS Reconfigurator Utility Tool to enable and
disable TLS protocols. You can download the tool from the VMware website.

Note:

If you have your ACP 130 server shipped and provided prior to the end of March 2019, you
must disable TLS v1.0 and v1.1 and enable only TLS v1.2 by following the procedures in this
section.

For more information on TLS, see the VMware Knowledge Base article:

SNMP alerts

SNMP is frequently used to monitor systems for fault conditions such as temperature violations,
hard drive failures, and voltage fault conditions. The iDRAC generates events that result in Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps and entries in the iDRAC Lifecycle Log.

The iDRAC generates events in response to changes in the status of sensors and other monitored
parameters. When an event with predefined characteristics occurs on your system, the SNMP
subagent sends information about the event, along with trap variables, to the management
console.

Each event generates an identifier called the trap ID and a list of trap variables that provide
additional details about the event. The traps of the iDRAC MIB are organized into five subgroups
of traps. Each subgroup corresponds to one of the following five categories of events that iDRAC
supports:

• System Health

• Storage Health

• Updates

• Audit

• Configuration
