This chapter provides an overview of the Cisco AS5350XM universal gateway, a versatile data and voice communications platform that provides high performance, high density, and hot-swap capability in only one rack unit. (See Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2)

The Cisco AS5350XM universal gateway is intended for small- to medium-size companies who require dense and scalable solutions to create new multiservice access networks, replace existing gateway hardware, or expand and enhance their current access offering. The Cisco AS5350XM universal gateway provides you with a cost-effective platform for deploying the widest range of IP-based services.

This chapter includes the following sections:

•Dial Feature Cards (DFCs)

•Power Supply

•Chassis Specifications

Chassis Components

The chassis consists of the following components:

•One modular chassis with motherboard, high-speed backplane, and three slots for dial feature cards (DFCs) or voice feature cards (VFCs).

•Building integrated timing system (BITS) interface port

•Two Gigabit Ethernet (GE) LAN ports

•Two T serial ports for backhaul WAN support

•Fast console auxiliary ports for local administrative access

•An integral AC or DC power supply

•Replaceable fan tray

Cisco Product Identification Tool

The Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool provides detailed illustrations and descriptions showing where to locate serial number labels on Cisco products. It includes the following features:

•A search option that allows browsing for models using a tree-structured product hierarchy

•A search field on the final results page making it easier to look up multiple products

•End-of-sale products are clearly identified in results lists

The tool streamlines the process of locating serial number labels and identifying products. Serial number information expedites the entitlement process and is important for access to support services.

Dial Feature Cards (DFCs)

The dial feature card (DFC) is a 5.1- by 13-inch (12.9- by 33-cm) Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)-based interface board that allows online insertion and removal (OIR) without rebooting or powering off the system.

The chassis includes one backplane slot that accepts a DFC carrier card. The DFC carrier card accepts two DFCs, which allow OIR. The motherboard accepts one DFC in its own dedicated slot.

Power Supply

The power system consists of a single input AC or DC power supply or a dual input (redundant) AC or DC power supply. Cooling is provided by two self-contained fans.

Each power module is capable of supplying a maximum DC load of 150 watts, and is composed of four independent output voltages: 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and -12V. AC input units have power factor correction, and low total harmonic distortion. Power failures are reported through environmental monitoring software.

Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving "clean" power (free of spikes and noise). Install a power conditioner if necessary.

Note The grounding architecture for the Cisco AS5350XM universal gateway is isolated DC return (DC-I).
