Safety Notices
These are the safety considerations for using the 7914 Expansion Module. Read these notices before you install or use the 7914 Expansion Module. For translated warnings, see "Translated Safety Warnings."
Warning This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents.
Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.
Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
The following warnings apply when you use the external power supply with the 7914 Expansion Module:
Warning This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (over current) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
Warning The device is designed to work with TN power systems.
Connecting the 7914 Expansion Module
To connect the 7914 Expansion Module, you need to perform the following procedures. Each procedure corresponds to a section that contains detailed instructions and illustrations:
•Removing the Footstand from the Cisco IP Phone 7960
•Connecting the Support Bar to the Cisco IP Phone 7960
•Connecting the 7914 Expansion Module to the Support Bar
•Connecting the RS 232 Cable
•Connecting the Power Supply
•Connecting the Footstand
Note To ensure a successful installation of the 7914 Expansion Module, make sure you have read the entire "Before You Begin" section.
Removing the Footstand from the Cisco IP Phone 7960
To remove the footstand from the IP Phone 7960 to which you are attaching the 7914 Expansion Module, follow these steps.
Procedure
Step 1 Unplug the Cisco IP Phone 7960 network and power connections.
Step 2 Unplug the handset, and headset (if one is attached to the phone).
Step 3 Turn the Cisco IP Phone 7960 over and lay it on a protected flat surface to prevent it from being scratched.
Step 4 On the footstand, locate the two foot pins.
Step 5 Using a flat head screwdriver, carefully push away from your body on one of the foot pins to release it. Then carefully push away from your body on the other foot pin to release it. Push the pins as illustrated in Figure 4-2.
Note You may have to lift and hold the IP Phone to support it when pushing the foot pins.
Step 6 Lift off the footstand and store it separately.
Figure 4-2 Foot Pins on the Cisco IP Phone 7960
Connecting the Support Bar to the Cisco IP Phone 7960
To connect the support bar to the Cisco IP Phone 7960, follow these steps.
Procedure
Step 1 Position the support bar on the back of the IP Phone so that it fits flush with the phone.
Step 2 Locate the two connector pins, as illustrated in Figure 4-3.
Step 3 Using a flat head screwdriver, carefully push each of the connector pins so that the support bar is firmly fastened to the IP Phone.
Figure 4-3 Connector Pins on the Support Bar
Connecting the 7914 Expansion Module to the Support Bar
To connect the Expansion Module to the support bar, follow these steps.
Procedure
Step 1 Position the phone so that the front of the phone is facing up.
Step 2 Line up the two open slots on the bottom of the 7914 Expansion Module with the two hooks on the support bar. Insert the hooks into the slots and then rotate the top of the 7914 Expansion Module into the support bar so that it rests flush with the bar.
Step 3 Tighten the thumb screw on the back of the 7914 Expansion Module.
Note If you are installing two Expansion Modules, repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the second Expansion Module.

Procedure
Step 1 Depending on how your Cisco IP Phone 7960 is powered, perform one of the following actions:
•If your Cisco IP Phone 7960 is powered over the Ethernet and:
–you have one Expansion Module, then connect the power supply unit to the AC adaptor port on the Expansion Module and plug the other end into a standard electrical power outlet in the wall.
or
–you have two Expansion Modules, then connect the power supply unit to the AC adaptor port on the Expansion Module closest to the IP Phone and plug the other end into a standard electrical power outlet in the wall.
•If your Cisco IP Phone 7960 is powered with a power supply unit and:
–you have one Expansion Module, then reconnect the original IP Phone power supply unit to the AC adaptor port on the IP Phone and plug the other end into a standard electrical power outlet in the wall.
or
–you have two Expansion Modules, then connect a second power supply unit to the AC adaptor port on the Expansion Module closest to the IP Phone and plug the other end into a standard electrical power outlet in the wall.
Step 2 Reconnect the Cisco IP Phone 7960 handset and network connections.
