As part of a total installation, customers may use the following peripheral hardware:
• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This can be Avaya or customer provided. It is
required for the Modular Messaging system.
• Ethernet switch. This can be Avaya or customer provided. The Ethernet switch is
required to create the Modular Messaging private LAN in a multiple MAS system. An
Ethernet switch is not required with a single MAS since a crossover cable can be used
to create the private LAN in a single MAS configuration.

• KVM switch. Use a keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) switch to view the different
servers in a Modular Messaging system. The model of KVM switch and the specific
monitor, keyboard, and mouse used can vary from site to site. If the Modular
Messaging system has only two servers, for example an MSS and one MAS, you can
install a 2–port KVM switch. For larger systems, install an 8–port KVM switch. To install
a KVM switch, use the instructions shipped with the switch.
• USB modem. A USB modem is optional, but the customer must provide Services with
some type of remote access to each Modular Messaging server. To install the modem,
use the instructions shipped with it.
The server has LEDs in the following locations:
• Front panel
• Rear panel
• Insight display, located on the front of the server
• Hard drive
• PCI riser cage
• Battery pack
Each SAS hard drive has two LEDs at the base that combine to give information about the
status of the drive. The PCI rise cage has a single LED that indicates whether AC power is
connected or disconnected. The battery pack has four LEDs that combine to give information
about the status of the battery pack and data in the cache.
For additional information about hard drive, PCI riser cage and battery pack LEDs, see
Maintaining the Avaya S8730 Server.
