Shut down procedure

This is the recommended procedure for shutting down the Business Communications Manager prior to installing new media bay modules. A controlled shut down is always preferred when possible!

1 - If you are adding or replacing a module in an active system, follow these steps first:

  1. Access the Unified Manager
  2. Choose System.
  3. Click the Logoff menu and then click Shutdown.
  4. Click the Yes button.
  5. Wait until the Status changes to Complete! It is safe to turn off the system.
  6. Click the Done button.
  7. Exit the Unified Manager.

2 - Attach one end of the grounding strap to your wrist and the other end to a grounded metal surface.

3 - Ensure the cables connected to the front of the Business Communications Manager and the expansion unit are clearly marked as to how they are connected.

4 - Remove the cables from all the media bay modules and the MSC on the Business Communications Manager base function tray and the expansion unit (if attached).

5 - Disconnect the Business Communications Manager and expansion unit power cords from the ac outlet.

6 - This procedure is complete.
