Installation Preparation Checklist
Before you install the base BCM platform base or expansion unit hardware, complete the
following actions.
• Determine the location for the Business Communications Manager (or expansion unit),
telephones, and other equipment based on spacing and electrical requirements. For more
information about spacing and electrical requirements, refer to the “Environment Checklist”
on page 95 and the “Electrical Requirements” on page 95.
• Order the required trunks from the central office.
• Check that all of the media bay modules are installed in the Business Communications
Manager or expansion unit.
• Ensure that you have all the equipment and supplies you require to install the system.
Environment Checklist
The installation area must be:
• minimum of 4 m (13 ft) from equipment such as photocopiers, electrical motors and other
equipment that produces electromagnetic, radio frequency and electrostatic interference
• within 1.5 m (5 ft.) of a three-wire grounded electrical outlet
• clean, free of traffic and excess dust, dry and well ventilated
• within the temperature ranges of 10°C and 40°C (50°F and 95°F)
• between 20% and 80% non-condensing relative humidity
• enough space and strength to support the Business Communications Manager
• minimum of 46 cm (18 in.) from the floor
Electrical Requirements
The following electrical requirements must be met:
• Power must be supplied from non-switched, unobstructed outlet within 1.5 m (5 ft.) of the
Business Communications Manager or expansion unit.
• The supplied power must be a dedicated 110 V - 120 V ac nominal (or 220 V - 230 V ac
nominal), 50/60 Hz, 15 A minimum service with a third wire safety ground. The third wire
safety ground provides shock protection and avoids electromagnetic interference.
Note: The installation area must be of sufficient height from the floor to prevent water
damage.
Danger: Risk of electric shock.
The safety of this product requires connection to an outlet with a third wire ground. Use
only with a three wire power cord and outlet.
