Power Verification
Check that an adequate number of power outlets are available.Verify that the G700 Media Gateways and
the other equipment in the rack do not present a possible overcurrent or overload to the customer’s branch
circuit and/or power distribution strip. Power requirements are listed in Appendix A, “Technical
Information”.
!
WARNING:
Do not overload the power circuit.
Grounding Verification
Ensure that the installation site has access to approved grounds and that either a trained technician or a
licensed electrician will be verifying all grounds and installing the Supplementary Ground Conductor
(consult Attach Ground Conductors
).
!
WARNING:
Installation in a Restricted Access Location and secure access are required in
Finland and Norway.
The G700 Media Gateway relies on two ground connections (mains plug with an earth contact and a
permanent Supplementary Ground Conductor). Because of unreliable earthing concerns in Finland and
Norway, the G700 Media Gateway must be installed in a Restricted Access Location (RAL). An RAL is
defined as an access that can be gained only by trained service personnel or customers who have been
instructed about the reasons for the restricted access and any safety precautions that must be taken. In
these cases, access to the G700 Media Gateway is gained by the use of a tool (such as a lock and key) or
other means of security.
If you have any questions about the safety conditions, contact your Project Manager. When you have
verified that the site is ready for a safe installation, proceed with the installation.

modules, telephones and other equipment are listed on your planning and shipping documentation.

contact information for the Project Manager and other key personnel.
CAUTION:
