Chapter 1: Overview of server and
components
Introduction
The Avaya S8800 Server supports several Avaya software applications. The server is available
in a 1U model or 2U model and with various hardware components. The server model and
specific hardware components in your server depend on the requirements of the software
application that will run on the server.
Communication Manager supports the 1U model of the S8800 Server. While installing
Communication Manager in simplex mode on the S8800 Server, you only use 1 S8800 Server,
whereas, installing Communication Manager in duplex mode requires you to have 2 S8800
Servers.

Type Description
Dimensions Height: 43 mm (1.69 inches, 1U)
Depth: 711 mm (28 inches)
Width: 440 mm (17.3 inches)
Weight Maximum weight: 15.4 kg (34 lb.) when fully configured.
Heat output Approximate heat output:
• Minimum configuration: 662 Btu per hour (194 watts)
• Maximum configuration: 1400 Btu per hour (400 watts)
Heat output varies depending on the number and type of optional
features that are installed and the power-management optional
features that are in use.
Acoustic noise
emissions
Declared sound power, operating: 6.1 bel
The sound levels were measured in controlled acoustical
environments according to the procedures specified by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) S12.10 and ISO 7779 and are
reported in accordance with ISO 9296. Actual sound-pressure levels
in a given location might exceed the average values stated because
of room reflections and other nearby noise sources. The declared
sound-power levels indicate an upper limit, below which a large
number of computers will operate.
