UPS or power backup

s on page 365.
RAM disk
RAM disk is a portion of memory used as a disk partition. In the event of a hard disk failure, the
S8300 Media Server uses only RAM disk to provide call processing for up to 72 hours.
Administration and backups are prohibited. Also, IA770 INTUITY AUDIX Messaging is
unavailable during a hard disk failure, so secondary call coverage points for users should be
administered, even with RAM disk enabled.
Related hardware and adjuncts
IA770 INTUITY AUDIX Messaging
IA770 INTUITY AUDIX messaging is an optional voice mail system used with an S8300 Media
Server. IA770 INTUITY AUDIX messaging is a software-only version of INTUITY AUDIX
messaging that uses a QSIG-MWI H.323 virtual trunk for communication between the
Communication Manager and IA770 software. This version is available on the G700, G350, and
G250 Media Gateway configurations. Without the need for additional hardware, IA770 INTUITY
AUDIX software processes touchtones, converts messages to the G.711 format, and converts
text to speech.
