I need to move an M2250 console because the customer (hotel ) is remodeling the office. The current setup has an amphenol adapter at the console to take the 25 pair to 8P8C then CAT5 back to the MDF. The console needs to be moved toe a different part of the office. 1) Can i unplug the console without taking the whole system down so i can tone and ID it's location on the MDF? 2) In the interest of time (customer wants to move next week and they only just called me a couple days ago) I am considering splicing the Cat5 in the ceiling above it's current location, rather than an entirely new cable run back to MDF. Probably not the best solution, but am getting crunched. Thanks for your help.

Although the M2250 console is connected with a 25 pair Amphenol adapter, only 2 pairs will be needed although you might also have Power "PWR" ports (TN's).
It's been a while, but I recall the first two pairs over here in the UK would have used the
1st pair as White / Blue & Blue / White
2nd pair as White / Orange & Orange / White
The two Power TN's are I think
3rd pair as White / Green & Green / White
4th pair as White / Brown & Brown / White
With regards to the disconnection of the Console, you should really disable the console TN ports but I've also in the past just carefully pulled the 25 pr cable out as long as you don't take it apart from one end or twist it. Just pull it off flush so that no pins can touch any others.
On the system, look for any cards that say "DLC" (Digital Line Card) as the wires from the console will be routed to that type. There are 16 ports and they could be anywhere on the card although we would normally use the first 4 or last 4 ports on the card if configured from new.

The console is just digital TN's, splice away. The console if wired by the NTP takes 5 pair but 4 pair is usually what you see. Look here for correct wiring
