Chapter 1 Introducing the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine
Introduction
When WAAS software is installed, the WAE appliance can function as either a
Central Manager or as an Application Acceleration Engine. When ACNS software
is installed, the WAE appliance functions as a Content Engine or one of the other
ACNS device modes (Content Router or Content Distribution Manager). When
WAFS software is installed, the WAE appliance functions as a File Engine. (See
Figure 1-1.)
Figure 1-1
Wide Area Application Engine 7326—Front View
The WAE-7326 has a baseboard management controller that provides
environmental monitoring for the appliance. If environmental conditions exceed
thresholds or if system components fail, LEDs on the baseboard management
indicate the problem. The error log also lists all critical errors. The baseboard
management controller also provides remote server management capabilities
through the OSA SMBridge management utility program.
Note
The baseboard management controller is also known as the service processor.

Chapter 1 Introducing the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine
Introduction
The WAE-7326 includes two integrated Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controllers,
which support connection to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps network.
The WAE includes large data-storage and hot-swap capability. The WAE-7326
supports up to six 25.4 mm (1-inch) slim, 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives
installed on Ultra-Slim hard disk drive trays in the hot-swap bays. With the
hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives without
powering down the appliance.
Note
The WAE-7326 hardware supports installing (hot-swapping) hard disk drives
without powering off the device. However, Cisco software applications that run
on the WAE-7326 appliance do not support hot-swapping. You must reload the
WAE appliance before the software recognizes the new hard disk drives.
The Active Memory feature of your WAE-7326 improves the reliability of
memory through memory mirroring and online spare memory. Memory mirroring
stores data in two pairs of DIMMs simultaneously. Online spare memory disables
a failed pair of DIMMs from the system configuration and activates a pair of
online spare memory DIMMs.
Your WAE also includes a large system-memory capacity. The memory bus
supports up to 16 GB of system memory. The memory controller supports error
correcting code (ECC) for up to eight industry-standard, 1.8 V, 240-pin,
double-data rate (DDR) II, PC3200, registered SDRAM DIMMs.
The addition of an optional network interface card (NIC) in the WAE-7326
provides a failover capability to a redundant Ethernet connection. If a problem
occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic associated with
this primary connection is automatically switched to the redundant Ethernet
connection. If the applicable device drivers are installed, this switching occurs
without data loss and without user intervention.
The WAE-7326 supports up to two Intel Xeon microprocessors. If the appliance
comes with only one microprocessor, you can install an additional microprocessor
to enhance performance and provide symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
capability.

Chapter 1 Introducing the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine
Software Functional Description
The operation of the WAE is dependent on the software application that is
installed on it. This section describes WAAS, ACNS and WAFS software:
•
•
•
WAAS Software Description, page 1-4
ACNS Software Description, page 1-5
WAFS Software Description, page 1-5
WAAS Software Description
With WAAS software installed, the WAE appliance functions as either a WAAS
Central Manager or a WAAS Application Acceleration Engine. The WAAS
Central Manager provides a graphical user interface to monitor and configure all
Acceleration Engines. The WAAS Acceleration Engine is deployed in remote
branch offices and in the data center to accelerate TCP applications that access
data across the network.
The Application Acceleration Engine functionality operates at different levels
based on the software licenses purchased. WAAS 4.x, software offers the WAAS
Transport License or the WAAS Enterprise License options.
Cisco WAAS software helps enterprises meet the following objectives:
•
•
•
•
Provide branch office employees with LAN-like access to information and
applications across a geographically distributed network.
Migrate application and file servers from branch offices into centrally
managed data centers.
Minimize unnecessary WAN bandwidth consumption through the use of
advanced compression algorithms.
Provide print services to branch office users. Cisco WAAS allows you to
configure a WAE as a print server so you do not need to deploy a dedicated
system to fulfill print requests.
•
Improve application performance over the WAN by addressing the following
common issues:
–
–
–
Low data rates (constrained bandwidth)
Slow delivery of frames (high network latency)
Higher rates of packet loss (low reliability)

Chapter 1 Introducing the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine
Software Functional Description
ACNS Software Description
With ACNS software installed, the WAE appliance functions as a Content
Distribution Manager, Content Engine, or Content Router. The Content
Distribution Manager provides a graphical user interface to manage registered
Content Engines and Content Routers. 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.
ACNS software offers the following content-based services:
•
•
•
•
Content caching and hosting
Proxy services
Content replication
Video streaming
In Content Engine mode, the WAE operates either as a component of an ACNS
network or as a standalone content-caching device and is generally positioned on
the WAN edge between your enterprise network and the Internet.
Note
The WAE-7326 supports device-mode configuration and can be configured with
ACNS 5.x software to operate as a Content Engine, a Content Router, a Content
Distribution Manager, or an IP/TV Program Manager.
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.
WAFS Software Description
With WAFS software installed, the WAE appliance functions as a File Engine.
The File Engine is an Internet file delivery device that provides the following
file-based services:
•
•
•
Segment-level file and metadata caching
Protocol-specific latency reduction
WAN transport-level optimization

Chapter 1 Introducing the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine
Hardware Features
The WAE-7326 has three Ethernet connectors. Two of the Ethernet connectors are
attached to the Ethernet controllers. The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the
system board. They provide an interface for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps,
or 1-Gbps network and provide full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables
simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the network. If the Ethernet
ports in the server support auto-negotiation, the controllers detect the
data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) and duplex mode
(full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automatically operate at that rate
and mode. You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers.
However, you must install a device driver to enable the operating system to
address the controllers.
The third Ethernet connector is the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine
Ethernet connector. Use this connector to enable remote server management
through a network. This connector is active only if an optional Remote Supervisor
Adapter II SlimLine is installed.

Ultra320 SCSI Controller System Board Connectors
The WAE-7326 has one SCSI LVD port connector located on the back panel. The
integrated dual-channel SCSI controller with integrated RAID supports two
independent Ultra320 SCSI channels: one external and one internal. Each channel
supports up to 15 SCSI devices. You can use the external LVD SCSI channel
connector on the rear of the server to connect different types of SCSI devices, such
as drives or printers.
This controller uses the following features to perform these actions:
•
•
•
•
Double-transition clocking to achieve up to 320 MB-per-second data-transfer
rates.
Domain-name validation to negotiate compatible data-transfer speeds with
each device.
Cyclic redundancy checking (CRC), instead of the usual parity checking, to
improve data reliability.
An active terminator for SCSI bus termination.
The WAE-7326 has one SCSI cable, which connects the internal connector on the
system board to the standard hot-swap-drive backplane. If you plan to attach
external SCSI devices, you must order additional cables. To select and order the
correct cables for use with external devices, contact your Cisco marketing
representative or authorized reseller.
SCSI IDs
Each SCSI device that is connected to a SCSI controller must have a unique SCSI
ID. This ID enables the SCSI controller to identify the device and ensures that
different devices on the same SCSI channel do not attempt to transfer data

Inline Network Adapter Cabling Requirements
Installation Scenarios and Cabling Examples for Fast Ethernet Connections
Form and Function
Your appliance supports one optional 4-port Ethernet inline network adapter. The
inline network adapter is a full-height, three-quarter-length PCI-X network
interface card that contains four independent Gigabit Ethernet ports. (See
Figure 1-9.)
Figure 1-9
Inline Network Adapter
The Cisco WAE inline network adapter provides inline traffic interception
capability for your appliance. When your appliance is configured for inline
interception mode, you can set attributes to control which interfaces are to be used
over which VLANs. By default, the adapter operates on all inline-capable
interfaces and VLANs. You can configure the inline redirection feature using the
WAAS 4.0.7 CLI or the WAAS 4.0.7 Central Manager GUI.

Chapter 1 Introducing the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine
Hardware Features
The WAAS software defines two new interface types: A group interface that
represents an inline pair grouping and a port interface that represents the
individual port. These interfaces are referred to as inlineGroup and inlinePort,
respectively.
InlineGroup interfaces are numbered using the format slot/group. The slot number
is the slot in which the adapter is inserted. (In the WAE 500 series and 600 series
appliances, the adapter must be installed in slot 1 only.) The group number is
either 0 or 1 (each adapter has 2 group pairs). The group number is displayed on
the adapter label.
InlinePort interfaces are numbered slot/group/lan or slot/group/wan. The last
attribute is the LAN or WAN designator.
The inline network adapter also includes an onboard programmable Watch Dog
Timer (WDT) controller. You can set the time to wait after a failure event, such as
a power outage or a kernel crash, before the unit begins to operate in mechanical
bypass mode. In mechanical bypass mode, traffic is bridged between the LAN and
WAN ports of each group. Mechanical bypass mode prevents the WAE from
becoming a single point of failure and allows traffic to continue to flow between
the router and the client while it passes through an unresponsive WAE without
being processed.
For more information about configuring the inline network adapter, see the Cisco
Wide Area Application Services Configuration Guide.

Inline Network Adapter Cabling Requirements
Your inline network adapter ships with two types of cables: crossover and
straight-through. When you connect the WAE inline network adapter, proper
cabling depends on the link speed (Gigabit Ethernet or Fast Ethernet) and the
types of devices (DCE or DTE) being connected.
Note
You must retain the same link speed from one end of the connection to the other
end. Inline adapter interfaces are able to autonegotiate link speeds. If any of your
connecting interfaces are configured for Fast Ethernet (whether on a switch or a
router), your WAE inline adapter uses Fast Ethernet. If any of your connecting
interfaces are configured for Gigabit Ethernet, your WAE inline adapter uses
Gigabit Ethernet. Speed and duplex settings are port-specific, so two inline ports
If you are connecting a WAE inline appliance between two devices using Gigabit
Ethernet, you can use either straight-through cables, crossover cables, or any
combination of the two cable types, regardless of the type of device. However, for
consistency, we recommend that you use straight-through cables for all Gigabit
Ethernet connections.
Table 1-7 shows the cable requirements for WAE and non-WAE connections when
you are using Gigabit Ethernet end to end.

Some switches support automatic medium-dependent interface crossover
(MDIX). You can configure MDIX by using the mdix auto global configuration
switch command. If your switch supports MDIX, you do not need to follow these
cabling rules because MDIX automatically adjusts transmit and receive pairs
when an incorrect cable type (crossover or straight-through) is installed on a
10/100 Fast Ethernet port. However, when you configure MDIX, you must also
Caution
If you are connecting to Fast Ethernet ports on both the LAN and the WAN sides
of the WAE inline appliance, you must consider the types of devices that are being
connected, and you must use the correct cables. You must follow these cabling
instructions for the inline network adapter to work properly. (See Table 1-8. For
illustrations and examples, see the “Installation Scenarios and Cabling Examples
for Fast Ethernet Connections” section on page 1-22.)
To connect the inline network adapter using the correct cables for Fast Ethernet
connections, follow these steps:
Step 1
Determine which type of cable you would use for a direct connection between
your two end devices (without a WAE inline network appliance connected
between them) by using the following standard cabling rules:
•
When you are directly connecting two network devices that are similar, such
as two switches, use a crossover cable.
•
When you are directly connecting two network devices that are different, such
as a switch and router, use a straight-through cable.

Chapter 1 Introducing the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine
Hardware Features
Note
Because the inline network adapter has an internal crossover connection
that becomes active when the InlineGroup interface is placed in
mechanical bypass mode, you must figure out which cable you would use
to connect the two network devices directly, and then you must install the
other cable type (on one side, usually the WAN side of the inline
appliance) instead.
Table 1-8 shows the cable requirements for WAE and non-WAE connections when
you are using Fast Ethernet end to end.

Step 2
Connect Fast Ethernet ports on both the LAN and the WAN sides of the WAE
inline appliance by using the following cable types:
•
On the LAN side of the connection, use a straight-through cable between the
WAE inline appliance and the network device.
•
On the WAN side of the connection, use the cable that is different from the
cable that you would use to connect the two network devices directly (as
determined in Step 1).

For example, if you are connecting a router and a switch (two different
the LAN side of the connection and use a crossover cable on the WAN side
of the connection. (If you were connecting the two different devices directly,
you would use a straight-through cable, so use the crossover cable instead.)
If you are connecting two switches (or two similar devices), use
straight-through cables on both the LAN and the WAN sides of the WAE
inline appliance.
Figure 1-11 through Figure 1-13 show the cables to use for the WAE LAN
and WAN connections between Fast Ethernet ports.
Installation Scenarios and Cabling Examples for Fast Ethernet Connections
WAE appliances can be installed physically between two network devices (such
as the branch office router and branch office LAN switch) by connecting the WAE
If you are connecting a WAE inline appliance between two devices using Gigabit
combination of the two cable types, regardless of the type of device. This section
shows cabling examples for Fast Ethernet connections only, because Fast Ethernet
has specific cabling requirements.
(see the “Ports and LED Indicators” section on page 1-18). The WAE can be
physically placed inline between two distinct network paths, creating redundant
WAN links. (See Figure 1-11.)
Two WAEs with inline network adapters can also be installed back-to-back in a
serial fashion between two network devices for failover purposes. In this type of
serial cluster configuration, if one WAE fails or becomes overloaded, the other
WAE can provide optimization. (See Figure 1-12.)
Note
When you connect two WAE inline appliances to each other in serial fashion,
always use a crossover cable between the two WAEs. (See Figure 1-13.)

dust inside the WAE can cause overtemperature conditions and component
failures.)
•
•
There must be approximately 19 inches (48.26 cm) of clearance at the front
and rear of the chassis for accessing network cables or equipment.
The WAE will receive adequate ventilation (it is not being installed in an
enclosed cabinet where ventilation is inadequate).
To install the WAE on a workbench or tabletop, follow these steps:
Step 1
Step 2
Remove any debris and dust from the tabletop or workbench, as well as from the
surrounding area. Also make sure that your path between the WAE and its new
location is unobstructed.
Attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the chassis. The rubber feet have an
adhesive backing. Peel the protective tape off the adhesive and stick the feet to the
bottom of a clean chassis surface. Place one foot in each corner.
Step 3
Step 4
Place the chassis on the tabletop or workbench.
Ensure that no exhaust air from other equipment will be drawn into the chassis.

Removing or Replacing a WAE
Warning
Before working on a system that has an on/off switch, turn OFF the power and
unplug the power cord. Statement 1
Warning
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national
laws and regulations. Statement 1040
To remove a WAE from your network, power it down, disconnect the power cords
and network cables, and physically remove the chassis from the rack.
The WAE is in constant communication with the router on your network. When
the router notices that the WAE is no longer responding to it, the router stops
sending requests to the WAE. This is transparent to users. If other WAEs are
attached to the router, the router continues sending requests to the other WAEs.
When you remove a WAE, the pages that were cached on that device are no longer
available to the router or other WAEs. You might see an increase in outgoing web
traffic that might have otherwise been fulfilled by the WAE that you are removing.
However, after a time, the router and other WAEs redistribute the load of web
traffic.

Removing or Replacing a WAE
If you remove the last WAE from your network, you can also disable WAE support
on the router. However, this action is not necessary because leaving WAE support
enabled when there are no WAEs attached has no effect on the router’s
performance.
To replace a WAE, remove it from the network, and then install a new WAE and
configure it using the same configuration parameters (IP address, and so forth)
that you used for the removed WAE.

Identifying System Problems
Note
Cisco ACNS software does not support the use of a keyboard or mouse
(Personal System/2 [PS/2] or Universal Serial Bus [USB]) for Linux and ACNS
software troubleshooting. However, the keyboard and mouse are supported by the
BIOS for power-on self-test (POST) and diagnostic programs that are located in
the device ROM.
When console redirection is enabled, all the tests available from a keyboard are
accessible through the console connection as well. (Mouse support, however, is
not available through the console connection.)
You can run all the diagnostics and tests that are supported by the BIOS, with a
few exceptions. Tests for a disk drive, for example, are invalid because the device
does not include a disk drive in the hardware configuration.
Tests for peripheral devices (such as mouse, keyboard, and monitor) and ports
(such as the USB port) that are not supported by ACNS software are also invalid.
Caution
disk drives. All other components that are not orderable as spare hardware options
can only be replaced by a qualified service technician. Once you have identified
a faulty component, contact Cisco Technical Support. (See the “Obtaining
Documentation” section on page xvii.)

Power down the device and disconnect all AC power cords.
Check for loose cables in the power subsystem. Also check for short circuits, for
example, if there is a loose screw causing a short circuit on a circuit board.
Step 3
Step 4
Remove adapters and disconnect the cables and power connectors to all internal
and external devices until the device is at the minimum configuration required to
start it.
Reconnect all AC power cords and power up the device. If the device starts up
successfully, replace adapters and devices one at a time until the problem is
isolated. If the device does not start up from the minimal configuration, replace
components of a minimal configuration one at a time until the problem is isolated.
To use this method, it is important to know the minimum configuration required
for a system to start.

Troubleshooting the Ethernet Controller
This section provides troubleshooting information for problems that might occur
with the 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet controller.
Network Connection Problems
If the Ethernet controller cannot connect to the network, check the following
conditions:
•
Make sure that the cable is installed correctly.
The network cable must be securely attached at all connections. If the cable
is attached but the problem remains, try a different cable.
If you set the Ethernet controller to operate at either 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps,
you must use Category 5 or higher cabling.
•

Identifying Problems Using Trouble Indicators and
Status LEDs
If the system error LED on the front of the device is on, one or more LEDs inside
identify problems with some device components. These LEDs are part of the
Light Path Diagnostics feature built into the device. By following the path of
lights, you can quickly identify the type of system error that occurred.
Your device is designed so that any LEDs that are on remain on when the device
shuts down as long as the AC power source is good and the power supply can
supply +5 VDC current to the device. This feature helps you isolate the problem
if an error causes the device to shut down. (See Table 5-4.)

costly, time-consuming service procedures. This chapter contains maintenance
procedures that you should perform regularly.
This chapter covers the tasks required for maintaining a WAE or a WAE farm:

•
Maintaining Your Site Environment, page B-1
Using Power Protection Devices, page B-7
Maintaining Your Site Environment
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.

Appendix B Maintaining the Wide Area Application Engine
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:
•
Ensure that the system is operated in an environment no colder than 32° F
(0° C) or hotter than 104° F (40° 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.
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.
•
•
•
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.
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.

Appendix B Maintaining the Wide Area Application Engine
Maintaining Your Site Environment
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 and thermal conductivity.
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 5 to 95 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 6500 feet (2000 meters)
and can be stored at a maximum altitude of 15,000 feet (4570 meters).
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. 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.

Appendix B Maintaining the Wide Area Application Engine
Maintaining Your Site Environment
Corrosion
The oil from a person’s fingers or prolonged exposure to high temperature or
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 B-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.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) from
a system can adversely affect devices such as radio and television (TV) receivers
operating near the system. Radio frequencies emanating from a system can also

Appendix B Maintaining the Wide Area Application Engine
Maintaining Your Site Environment
interfere with cordless and low-power telephones. Conversely, RFI from
high-power telephones can cause spurious characters to appear on the system’s
monitor screen.
RFI is defined as any EMI with a frequency above 10 kilohertz (kHz). This type
of interference can travel from the system to other devices through the power
cable and power source or through the air like transmitted radio waves. The
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) publishes specific regulations to
limit the amount of EMI and RFI emitted by computing equipment. Each system
meets these FCC regulations.
To reduce the possibility of EMI and RFI, follow these guidelines:
•
•
Operate the system only with the system cover installed.
Ensure that the screws on all peripheral cable connectors are securely
fastened to their corresponding connectors on the back of the system.
•
Always use shielded cables with metal connector shells for attaching
peripherals to the system.
Magnetism
Because they store data magnetically, hard disk drives are extremely susceptible
to the effects of magnetism. Hard disk drives should never be stored near magnetic
sources such as the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Monitors
TV sets
Printers
Telephones with real bells
Fluorescent lights
Shock and Vibration
Excessive shock can damage the function, external appearance, and physical
structure of a system. Each system has been designed to operate properly even
after withstanding a minimum of six consecutively executed shock pulses in the
Cisco Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide
OL-6831-02

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Appendix B Maintaining the Wide Area Application Engine
Maintaining Your Site Environment
positive and negative x, y, and z axes (one pulse on each side of the system). Each
shock pulse can measure up to 5 gravities (G) for up to 11 milliseconds (ms). In
storage, the system can withstand shock pulses of 20 G for 11 ms.
Excessive vibration can cause the same problems as mentioned earlier for shock,
as well as causing components to become loose in their sockets or connectors.
Systems can be subject to significant vibration when being transported by vehicle
or when operated in an environment with machinery that causes vibration.
Power Source Interruptions
Systems are especially sensitive to variations in voltage supplied by the AC power
source. Overvoltage, undervoltage, and transients (or spikes) can erase data from
memory or even cause components to fail. To protect against these types of
problems, power cables should always be properly grounded and one or both of
the following methods should be used:
•
Use one of the power protection devices described in the “Using Power
Protection Devices” section on page B-7.
•
Place the system on a dedicated power circuit (rather than sharing a circuit
with other heavy electrical equipment). In general, do not allow the system to
share a circuit with any of the following:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–

Copier machines
Air conditioners
Vacuum cleaners

Appendix B Maintaining the Wide Area Application Engine
Using Power Protection Devices
Besides these appliances, the greatest threats to a system’s supply of power are
surges or blackouts caused by electrical storms. Whenever possible, turn off the
system and any peripherals and unplug them from their power sources
during thunderstorms.
If a blackout occurs—even a temporary one—while the system is turned on, turn
off the system immediately and disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Leaving
the system on may cause problems when the power is restored; all other
appliances left on in the area can create large voltage spikes that can damage
the system.
Using Power Protection Devices
A number of devices are available that protect against power problems such as
power surges, transients, and power failures. The following subsections describe
some of these devices.
Surge Protectors
Surge protectors are available in a variety of types and usually provide a level of
protection commensurate with the cost of the device. Surge protectors prevent
voltage spikes, such as those caused during an electrical storm, from entering a
system through the electrical outlet. Surge protectors, however, do not offer
protection against brownouts, which occur when the voltage drops more than
20 percent below the normal AC line voltage level.
Line Conditioners
Line conditioners go beyond the overvoltage protection of surge protectors. Line
conditioners keep a system’s AC power source voltage at a fairly constant level
and therefore can handle brownouts. Because of this added protection, line
conditioners cost more than surge protectors—up to several hundred dollars.
However, these devices cannot protect against a complete loss of power.

Appendix B Maintaining the Wide Area Application Engine
Using Power Protection Devices
Uninterruptible Power Supplies
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems offer the most complete protection
against variations in power because they use battery power to keep the system
running when AC power is lost. The battery is charged by the AC power while it
is available, so once AC power is lost, the battery can provide power to the system
for a limited amount of time—from 15 minutes to an hour or so—depending on
the UPS system.
UPS systems range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand
dollars, with the more expensive units allowing you to run larger systems for a
longer period of time when AC power is lost. UPS systems that provide only
5 minutes of battery power let you conduct an orderly shutdown of the system, but
are not intended to provide continued operation. Surge protectors should be used
with all UPS systems, and the UPS system should be Underwriters Laboratories
(UL) safety-approved.
