6. Install a system battery back-up, such as an uninterruptable power supply (UPS). For
specifications, see “Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Connections” on page 4-8. Do
not share a UPS with multiple chassis—for example, with both an external voice
processing system and an Inter-Tel 5000 Base Server.
7. Make sure the software license includes the appropriate features required for the
installation or upgrade. If the license does not match DB Programming, an error
message appears on the LCD panel and administrator endpoint. For additional
information, refer to the software license information in the Mitel 5000 Features and
Programming Guide, part number 580.8006.
8. If new cabling is required, run cables to the location and run wiring to any optional
equipment. Assemble the new terminal blocks on the MDF, if required. If any T1 or E1
and/or PRI trunks are to be installed, terminate them on eight-conductor modular jack
[line jack unit] assemblies at the MDF.
9. Connect any new trunks and module cables to the corresponding terminal blocks (or for
T1/E1 and/or PRI, modular jack assemblies or RJ-45 jacks).
10. Install any new modules in the chassis and connect them to the cables that run from the
MDF blocks or patch panel.
11. If necessary, upload the system software (see “Upgrading to v3.0” on page 5-152). Also
load new voice processing software, if required.
12. Install any new endpoints and any optional endpoint or system equipment. Ensure all
equipment is working properly.
13. If adding voice processing (VP) or fax cards to the optional external voice processing
system, install them according to the instructions in either the Enterprise

Messaging
Installation Manual, part number 780.8006, or the Voice Processing Unit Installation
Manual, part number 835.2890. Verify the switch settings, cable connections, and card
options.
14. Refer to the Programming chapter in the Mitel 5000 Features and Programming Guide,
part number 580.8006, for procedural guidance to restore the database or voice mail
database and configure and program the additions to the system.
15. Train end users on any new features or options that have been installed. Provide them
contact information for directing questions or issues.
