Introduction

The Cisco 5900 Series Embedded Service Routers (ESR) are optimized for mobile and embedded networks that require IP routing and services. The flexible, compact form factors of the Cisco 5900 routers, complemented by Cisco IOS Software and Cisco Mobile Ready Net capabilities, provide highly secure data, voice, and video communications to stationary and mobile network nodes across wired and wireless links.

The Cisco 5915 ESR (Figure 1 and Figure 2) is a PCI-104 based, small form-factor router intended for mobile and vehicle networking applications. Like its predecessor Mobile Access Router Card, used in the Cisco 3200 Rugged Integrated Services Router (ISR), the Cisco 5915 ESR is targeted particularly at transportation customers (especially heavy, light, and metro rail) and global defense organizations.

The Cisco 5915 ESR is a high-performance router designed for harsh environments. Its highly durable construction provides reliable operation in extreme temperatures and in rugged terrain where mobile devices are often subject to greater degrees of shock and vibration. The inclusive and compact design simplifies integration and offers system integrators the ability to use the Cisco 5915 ESR in a wide variety of applications. The user interface for Cisco 5915 ESR is through edge fingers. Air-cooled and conduction-cooled models accommodate diverse operational environments. The Cisco 5915 ESR is based on industry standards, and provides Cisco customers with an extensive ecosystem of products and suppliers for designing and developing systems.

The Cisco 5915 ESR conduction-cooled card (Figure 3 and Figure 4) operates at a temperature range of

-40ºC to +85ºC (rail temperature). Thermal plates conduct the heat away from the components to the enclosure rails through the wedge locks. The conduction cooling removes the need for internal fans.

Warning

Cisco 5915 Embedded Services Router Hardware Technical Guide

When performing the following procedures, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to the Cisco 5915 ESR conduction-cooled card. Some platforms have an ESD connector for attaching the wrist strap. Do not directly touch the edge finger or PCI connector pins with your hand or any metal tool to avoid component failure.

To install the Cisco 5915 ESR conduction-cooled card, perform the following procedure:

Step 1 Carefully align the edges of the thermal plate between the upper and lower edges of the module slot.

Step 2 Verify that all the wedge locks are loose just enough to hold all the wedge lock pieces together.

Step 3 Slide the card into the module slot.

Step 4 Tighten the wedge locks using a hex torque screwdriver adjusted to 8.0 +/- 0.5 in-lb.

Cisco 5915 ESR Air-Cooled Card

The Cisco 5915 ESR air-cooled card operates at a temperature range of -40ºC to +70ºC. Forced air is used to cool the card.

Note Cisco 5915 ESR air-cooled card installation depends on the system in which it will be used, hence the

installation information does not fall under the scope of this document.

The Cisco 5915 ESR air-cooled board (Figure 5 and Figure 6) is used without thermal plates in an air-cooled environment. The minimum air-flow required depends on the installation environment. System integrators must perform the necessary thermal simulation to calculate the system level air-flow requirement.

Note For more information about the Cisco 5915 ESR hot components and thermal limits refer to the Cisco

5915 ESR Thermal Data for Air-Cooled Cards Guide. To obtain the Cisco 5915 ESR Thermal Data for Air-Cooled Cards Guide, contact your Cisco account representative.

Cisco 5915 ESR LED Definitions

Cisco 5915 ESR supports the LED control signals described in Ta ble 5. These signals go to the edge fingers and connect to LEDs in the solution developed by a system integrator.

See Table 8 for pin location of LEDs on the edge finger interface.

Note All LED outputs can drive 12mA through a 2.2Vf LED. All LED outputs are active high signals.

To enable the factory default capability, the service declassify command must be added to the IOS configuration file. Following are the options available for this command:

• erase-flash

• erase-nvram

• erase-all

Table 6 lists the settings and the completion time for these options.

To start the Cisco 5915 ESR factory default process, pull the INPUT_CLEAR_L signal to GND (Figure 8). After the process is initiated, the LED_CLEAR signal toggles (blinks) for 0.5 seconds, then deasserts (turns off). After the process is completed, the LED_CLEAR signal asserts (turns on) and the

router halts. Once the router is power-cycled, the router will boot normally. If you choose to use the erase-flash option, the boot process stops at ROMMON because the Flash file system that normally contains IOS is empty. If you choose to use the erase-all option, the Cisco 5915 ESR will have no user data or binary code in router memory after the factory default process is complete.

Temperature Out of Range Detection

When the Cisco 5915 ESR detects that the temperature is out of range, that is the temperature is either too high or too low, the router toggles (blinks) the LED_OVER_TEMP signal for 50 seconds. Assuming the temperature remains out of range during this period of time, the router deasserts (turns off) the LED_OVER_TEMP signal and reboots to ROMMON.

Using the Cisco 5915 ESR

The Cisco 5915 ESR can be deployed in a variety of applications and physical formats.

I/O signal access is provided via edge fingers. The edge fingers are intended to connect with standard, commercially available PCI-Express connectors.

Typically, integrators use a custom wiring board to access the I/O signals. For instance, one side of the wiring board is populated with the PCI-Express connectors, while the other side is populated with RJ-45s and/or circular shell connectors. This method works best when the enclosure is designed such that the end product I/O panel is very close to the edge finger side of the Cisco 5915 ESR.

Another I/O access option is to use a flex circuit assembly. A custom flex circuit assembly can be designed such that part of the assembly is rigid and part is more like a ribbon cable. The standard connectors (PCI-Express, RJ-45, circular shell, etc.) can be placed on the rigid parts of the assembly. This method provides a compact solution and is also useful when the end product I/O panel is not located close to the edge finger side of the Cisco 5915 ESR.

Product Specifications

For integrators planning to use the conduction-cooled Cisco 5915 ESR, mounting holes are in the thermal plate. These mounting holes are used to hold an I/O board or flex circuit to the Cisco 5915 ESR. The mounting hole size is 0.125 Inches (diameter). Four 4-40 pan head screws are required.

For integrators planning to use the air cooled Cisco 5915 ESR, mounting holes are provided in the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) which can be used, along with a custom "L bracket" to hold an I/O board or flex circuit to the Cisco 5915 ESR.

Note Mounting hole and screw sizes for air cooled Cisco 5915 ESR depend on the system or environment in

which the air-cooled cards are used.

Note When you connect routed ports of the Cisco 5915 ESR to routed ports on a neighboring device and

autonegotiation is disabled on both sides of the connection, a crossover cable may be necessary (depending on the capabilities of the neighboring device). If autonegotiation is enabled, any type of cable connection can be used.

Edge Fingers Interfaces

The Cisco 5915 ESR edge fingers provide system interface signal connectivity, while maximizing the real estate available for component placement. The connector solution is borrowed from the PCIe standard. The edge fingers consist of 64 pins in the main connector (Tab le 8). The signal interfaces are routed through these pins. The following part numbers are the mating connectors (solderable):

• EDGE Connector Main - Molex 87715-9106

• EDGE Connector Aux - Molex 87715-9006

Note All signals on the Auxiliary edge fingers are reserved. Leave these signals unconnected.

PCI Connector

The Cisco 5915 ESR is PCI-104 compliant and supports the standard PCI connector. Table 9 lists the pinout assignments. However, the Cisco 5915 ESR does not connect to the PCI bus because it is not used. The only electrical connections to the PCI connector are +5V, +3.3V, and GND.

Note The Cisco 5915 ESR uses the variant of the PCI bus stacking connector, which is keyed on pin D30.
