THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.
THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is “down,” or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.

OL-5756-01
Chapter 1 Introducing the Content Engine
The CE-566 supports device mode configuration and can be configured through ACNS 5.x software to operate as a Content Engine, a Content Router, a Content Distribution Manager, or an IP/TV Program Manager. The CE-511, however, does not support device mode configuration.
Content Delivery Network Component
Cisco Content Engines with Cisco ACNS software installed are the content delivery components of a larger Cisco ACNS network solution, which includes content routing and content distribution and management. Content Engines with Cisco ACNS 5.x software are deployed in conjunction with a Content Distribution Manager to create a centrally managed ACNS network.
The ACNS solution offers accelerated content delivery, hosting, content replication, video streaming, and other content-based services. The ACNS solution addresses the need to distribute and receive high-bandwidth, media-rich content across the Internet or an intranet without performance losses or content delivery delays.
Functional Description
Content Caching Device
Cisco Content Engines with Cisco ACNS software installed accelerate content delivery and optimize bandwidth usage by transparently caching frequently accessed content and fulfilling content requests locally rather than traversing the Internet or intranet to a distant server farm each time a request is made. The Content Engine works in tandem with a router to handle web traffic, including user requests to view pages and graphics (objects) on World Wide Web servers—whether internal or external to your network.
To deploy Cisco Content Engines with Cisco ACNS software within your existing network, your network must support Cisco IOS software and the Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP). WCCP transparently redirects HTTP requests to a Content Engine, and the Content Engine responds to those requests.
For example, when a user requests an object from a web server, the router first sends the request to a Content Engine. If the Content Engine has a copy of the requested object in storage, the Content Engine sends the user the object.

Hardware Features

Note Unlike transparent caching, nontransparent caching is possible even if your
Chapter 1 Introducing the Content Engine
Otherwise, the Content Engine simultaneously obtains the requested objects from the web server, stores a copy of the objects (caches them), and forwards the objects on to the user.
You can also configure your Content Engine as a proxy server that acts as a network gateway device, which is optimized to retrieve content on behalf of web clients. Direct proxy routing is known as nontransparent caching because the web clients and media players in the network are configured to explicitly point to the Content Engine that is acting as the proxy server.
network does not support Cisco IOS software and the WCCP.
In nontransparent caching cases, the Content Engine sends the content to the web client from its local storage if the requested content is already available at that location (cache hit). If the requested content is not already stored in the Content Engine’s local cache (cache miss), the Content Engine retrieves the requested content from the origin server, stores a local copy of the content if the content is cacheable, and sends the requested content to the web client. When the Content Engine receives subsequent requests for the same content, it sends the content from its local storage.
By caching web objects, the Content Engine can speed the completion of user requests when more than one user wants to access the same objects. Caching in this manner also reduces the amount of traffic between your network and the Internet, potentially improving your overall network performance and optimizing your bandwidth usage.

decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Position cables and power cords carefully; route cables and the power cord
and plug so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on your system components’ cables or power cord.
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your
power company for site modifications. Always follow your local or national wiring rules.
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside the Content Engine. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your system’s electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not
remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic
container or packaging.
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use
antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
Rack Installation Safety Guidelines
Before installing your Content Engine in a rack, review the following guidelines:
Two or more people are required to install the device in a rack.
Ensure that the room air temperature is below 95°F (35°C).
Do not block any air vents; usually 6 inches (15 cm) of space provides
proper airflow.

Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the Content Engine
Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack.
Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack.
Do not extend more than one device out of the rack at the same time.
Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during
installation.
Connect the Content Engine to a properly grounded outlet.
Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack.

Chapter 3 Installing the Content Engine
To remove a Content Engine from your network, power it down, disconnect the power cords and network cables, and physically remove the chassis from the rack.
The Content Engine is in constant communication with the router on your network; thus, when the router notices that the Content Engine is no longer responding to it, the router stops sending requests to the Content Engine. This is transparent to users. If other Content Engines are attached to the router, the router continues sending requests to the other Content Engines.
When you remove a Content Engine, the pages that were cached on that device are no longer available to the router or other Content Engines. Thus, you might see an increase in outgoing web traffic that might have otherwise been fulfilled by the Content Engine that you are removing. However, after a time, the router and other Content Engines redistribute the load of web traffic.
If you remove the last Content Engine from your network, you can also disable Content Engine support on the router. However, this is not necessary; having Content Engine support enabled when there are no Content Engines attached has no effect on the router’s performance.
To replace a Content Engine, remove it from the network. Then, install a new Content Engine and configure it using the same configuration parameters (IP address, and so forth) that you used for the removed Content Engine.

Assigning SCSI IDs
When you replace a SCSI disk drive in a CE-566, you must assign SCSI IDs 0 and 1 to the disk drives. The SCSI IDs are assigned by placing or removing jumpers on the disk drive SCSI ID pins.
Note The disk drives have a label on the lower side that identifies the pins. You can
locate the pins corresponding to SCSI ID bit 0 by referring to this label.
Assign SCSI ID 0 to the disk drive in drive bay 2 (located below the flash memory card on right hand side of your Content Engine) by removing any jumpers from the SCSI ID pins. (Other jumpers should be set the same as the jumper settings on the drive that is being replaced.)
Assign SCSI ID 1 to the disk drive in drive bay 1 (located below the CD-ROM drive) by placing a jumper on the pins corresponding to SCSI ID bit 0.
To check whether the configuration is correct, refer to the boot time messages on the device console. For example:
Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Attached scsi disk sdb at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0

Maintaining the Content Engine

Proper use of preventive maintenance procedures can keep the Content Engine in top operating condition and minimize the need for costly, time-consuming service procedures. This chapter contains maintenance procedures that you should perform regularly.
This chapter covers the tasks required for maintaining a Content Engine or a Content Engine farm:
Maintaining Your Site Environment, page 6-1
Using Power Protection Devices, page 6-7

Maintaining Your Site Environment

OL-5756-01
An exhaust fan in the power supply cools the power supply and system by drawing air in through various openings in the system and blowing it out the back. However, the fan also draws dust and other particles into the system, causing contaminant buildup, which results in an increase in the system’s internal temperature and interferes with the operation of various system components.
To avoid these conditions, we recommend keeping your work environment clean to reduce the amount of dust and dirt around the system, thereby reducing the amount of contaminants drawn into the system by the power supply fan.
This section discusses various environmental factors that can adversely affect system performance and longevity.
Cisco Content Engine 511 and 566 Hardware Installation Guide
6-1
Maintaining Your Site Environment
Temperature
Temperature extremes can cause a variety of problems, including premature aging and failure of chips or mechanical failure of devices. Extreme temperature fluctuations can cause chips to become loose in their sockets and can cause expansion and contraction of disk drive platters, resulting in read or write data errors.
To minimize the negative effects of temperature on system performance, follow these guidelines:
Adequate ventilation is particularly important at high altitudes. System performance may not be optimum when the system is operating at high temperatures as well as high altitudes.
Chapter 6 Maintaining the Content Engine
Ensure that the system is operated in an environment no colder than 50°F
(10°C) or hotter than 95°F (35°C).
Ensure that the system has adequate ventilation. Do not place it within a
closed-in wall unit or on top of cloth, which can act as insulation. Do not place it where it will receive direct sunlight, particularly in the afternoon. Do not place it next to a heat source of any kind, including heating vents during winter.
Make sure that all slots and openings on the system remain unobstructed,
especially the fan vent on the back of the system.
Clean the system at regular intervals to avoid any buildup of dust and debris,
which can cause a system to overheat.
6-2
If the system has been exposed to abnormally cold temperatures, allow a
2-hour warm-up period to bring it up to normal operating temperature before turning it on. Failure to do so may cause damage to internal components, particularly the hard disk drive.
If intermittent system failures are noticed, try reseating any socketed chips,
which might have become loose because of temperature fluctuations.
Cisco Content Engine 511 and 566 Hardware Installation Guide
OL-5756-01
Chapter 6 Maintaining the Content Engine
Humidity
High-humidity conditions can cause moisture migration and penetration into the system. This moisture can cause corrosion of internal components and degradation of properties such as electrical resistance, thermal conductivity, physical strength, and size. Extreme moisture buildup inside the system can result in electrical shorts, which can cause serious damage to the system.
Each system is rated to operate at 8 to 80 percent relative humidity, with a humidity gradation of 10 percent per hour. Buildings in which climate is controlled by air conditioning in the warmer months and by heat during the colder months usually maintain an acceptable level of humidity for system equipment. However, if a system is located in an unusually humid location, a dehumidifier can be used to maintain the humidity within an acceptable range.
Altitude
Operating a system at high altitude (low pressure) reduces the efficiency of forced and convection cooling and can result in electrical problems related to arcing and corona effects. This condition can also cause sealed components with internal pressure, such as electrolytic capacitors, to fail or perform at reduced efficiency.
Each system is rated to operate at a maximum altitude of 6998 feet (2133 meters) and can be stored at a maximum altitude of 15,000 feet (4570 meters).
Maintaining Your Site Environment
Dust and Particles
A clean operating environment can greatly reduce the negative effects of dust and other particles, which act as insulators and interfere with the operation of a system’s mechanical components. Also, in addition to regular cleaning, you should follow these guidelines to deter contamination of the system equipment:
Do not permit smoking anywhere near the system.
Do not permit food or drink near the system.
Use dust covers when the system is not in use.
Close windows and outside doors to keep out airborne particles.
OL-5756-01
Cisco Content Engine 511 and 566 Hardware Installation Guide
6-3
Maintaining Your Site Environment
Corrosion
The oil from a person’s fingers or prolonged exposure to high temperature or humidity can corrode the gold-plated edge connectors and pin connectors on various devices in the system. This corrosion on system connectors is a gradual process that can eventually lead to intermittent failures of electrical circuits.
To prevent corrosion, you should avoid touching contacts on boards and cards. Protecting the system from corrosive elements is especially important in moist and salty environments, which tend to promote corrosion. Also, as a further deterrent to corrosion, the system should not be used in extreme temperatures, as explained in the “Temperature” section on page 6-2.
Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) results from the buildup of static electricity on the human body and certain other objects. This static electricity is often produced by simple movements such as walking across a carpet. ESD is a discharge of a static electrical charge that occurs when a person whose body contains such a charge touches a component in the system. This static discharge can cause components, especially chips, to fail. ESD is a problem particularly in dry environments where the relative humidity is below 50 percent.
To reduce the effects of ESD, you should observe the following guidelines:
Wear a grounding wrist strap. If a grounding wrist strap is unavailable, touch
an unpainted metal surface on the chassis periodically to neutralize any static charge.
Keep components in their antistatic packaging until they are installed.
Avoid wearing clothing made of wool or synthetic materials.
