Chassis Components
The Cisco AS5400 universal gateway chassis has a system board, high-speed backplane, and seven slots
for dial feature cards (DFCs). The chassis includes four backplane slots. Three backplane slots accept
DFC carrier cards and the other backplane slot accepts one DFC. Each DFC carrier card accepts two
DFCs which allow online insertion and removal (OIR).
TipsTo help identify your universal gateway, starting with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T, the
show version and show diag commands will identify the universal gateway as an AS5400
or AS5400HPX. Prior to this release, these commands showed the universal gateway as an
AS5400, even if it was an AS5400HPX.
In any single DFC slot, you can install your choice of:
•One T1 dial feature card
•One E1 dial feature card
•One T3 dial feature card
NoteThe Cisco AS5400 supports only one type of WAN DFC at a time. For more information,
see the “Mixing WAN DFCs” section on page 4-3.
Power Supply
The power system is comprised of a fully redundant switching power supply with two AC (or DC) inputs
to the main power modules. Each input and output is 100 percent fully redundant, with dual fans for
added reliability.
The output of each power module is rated at 300 watts (nonredundant mode), and is composed of four
independent output voltages: 3.3V, 5V, 12V and -12V. AC input units have power factor correction, and
low harmonic distortion. Units that are in redundant mode run at one-half the power capability. If a
power supply failure occurs, these units are capable of powering the complete system either at the input
side or the DC load side. Power failures are reported through environmental monitoring software.

AS5350 and Cisco AS5400 Universal
Console and Auxiliary Ports
The chassis includes an asynchronous serial console port and an auxiliary port. The console and
auxiliary ports provide access either locally (with a console terminal) or remotely (with a modem). This
section discusses important cabling information to consider before connecting a console terminal (an
ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port or modem to the
auxiliary port.
Console Port
The chassis includes an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial console port (RJ-45). Depending on the cable
and the adapter used, this port appears as a data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communications
equipment (DCE) device at the end of the cable. Your chassis arrives with cables and adapters to connect
a console terminal (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port.
To connect an ASCII terminal to the console port, use the RJ-45 rollover cable with the female
RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (labeled TERMINAL).
To connect a PC running terminal emulation software to the console port, use the RJ-45 rollover cable
with the female RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter (labeled TERMINAL). The default parameters for the console
port are 9600 baud, 8

This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area
is where access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special
tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority
responsible for the location. To see translations of the warnings that appear in the
publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that
accompanied this device.
Setting the Chassis on a Desktop
The location of the chassis is extremely important for proper operation. Equipment placed too close
together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause malfunctions and shutdowns, and can
make maintenance difficult. The following information will help you to plan the location of the chassis:
•Plan for access to both front and rear panels of the chassis.
•Ensure that the room where the chassis operates has adequate ventilation. Remember that electrical
equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may not cool equipment to acceptable operating
temperatures without adequate ventilation.
Attach the rubber feet as shown in Figure 3-1. Rubber feet are included in the accessory kit that shipped
with your universal gateway.

Rack-Mounting the Chassis
This section describes how to rack-mount the chassis. The universal gateway arrives with 19-inch
rack-mount brackets and larger brackets for use with a 23- or 24-inch rack. (See
The following information will help you plan your equipment rack configuration:
•Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not congested, because each
unit generates heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air.
Heat generated by equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports
of the equipment above.
•When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not block the intake or
exhaust ports. If the chassis is installed on slides, check the position of the chassis when it is seated
in the rack.
•Baffles can isolate exhaust air from intake air, which also helps to draw cooling air through the
chassis. The best placement of the baffles depends on the airflow patterns in the rack, which can be
found by experimenting with different configurations.
•When equipment installed in a rack (particularly in an enclosed rack) fails, try operating the
equipment by itself, if possible. Power OFF other equipment in the rack (and in adjacent racks) to
allow the unit under test a maximum of cooling air and clean power.
•Install the chassis and external devices to which it will connect in a contiguous stack.
