Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server Overview

The Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server is a high-density, ISDN and modem WAN aggregation system that provides both digital and analog call termination. It is intended to be used in service provider dial point-of-presence (POP), or centralized enterprise dial environments. The Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server chassis components include a Cisco 5814 dial shelf and a Cisco 7206 router shelf. An optional AC power shelf is also available.

The dial shelf and router shelf are bundled, and can be ordered to support either AC or DC power. Included in the dial shelf is a blower assembly, filter module, and power entry modules (PEMs). Also included in the bundled system are ingress trunk cards, modem cards, dial shelf controller cards, Flash memory PCMCIA cards, cables, and Cisco IOS software. The dial shelf feature cards and host router shelf communicate via a dial shelf interconnect cable.

Figure 1 shows a front view of a fully configured Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server, and Figure 2 shows a rear view.

Blower Assembly Overview

The blower assembly in the Cisco 5814 dial shelf, monitors the dial shelf internal operating temperatures and maintains acceptable cooling parameters. The blower assembly contains three variable-speed impeller fans and a controller card that performs the following functions:

The controller card contains temperature sensors, which monitor internal air temperature within the dial shelf chassis. These temperature sensors, along with other system maintenance sensors, can detect areas exceeding the temperature set point.
Fan speed is controlled by a microprocessor on the controller card. If air temperature within the dial shelf chassis exceeds acceptable operating range, the controller card increases the fan speed in an attempt to control the temperature. If temperatures continue to rise, the controller card linearly increases fan speed until the fans reach full speed. If acceptable operating temperatures are still unobtainable, the system environmental monitor shuts down all internal power, thus preventing equipment damage from excessive heat.
During normal operation, the three fans "load-share" to provide cooling. If one of the three fans fails, a warning message displays on your console screen. The controller card then increases the speed of the remaining operative fans to maintain acceptable temperature levels.
When all three fans are operating normally, fan speed is 1600 rpm. As ambient air temperature increases, fan speed increases accordingly. Thus, if one of the fans becomes inoperative, the remaining fans will increase fan speed to 2400 rpm.
The blower assembly supports online insertion and removal (OIR), which means you can remove and replace the blower assembly while the system is operating; system operation will not be affected. However, if you expect the replacement process to exceed one minute, we recommend that you shut down the system. Normal blower assembly replacement is estimated not to exceed 30 seconds.

The blower assembly is located directly above the feature cards and dial shelf controller cards in the dial shelf. You install the blower assembly into the front of the dial shelf chassis where it plugs directly into the dial shelf backplane. Figure 3 shows the location of the blower assembly in a fully configured Cisco 5814 dial shelf, as viewed from the system front.

Safety Guidelines

The following safety guidelines are recommended when working with any equipment that connects to electrical power or telephone wiring:

Telephone Wiring Guidelines

The following guidelines are recommended when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or to other network cabling:

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages equipment and impairs electrical circuitry. ESD occurs when printed circuit boards are improperly handled, and results in complete or intermittent failures.

The system feature cards and dial shelf controller cards consist of a printed circuit board that is fixed in a metal carrier. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, connectors, and a handle are integral components of the carrier. Handle the system line cards by their carrier edges and handle only; never touch the printed circuit board components or connector pins.

Although the metal carrier helps to protect the printed circuit boards from ESD, wear a preventive antistatic strap whenever handling the dial shelf feature cards or dial shelf controller cards, or the router shelf network processing engine, I/O controller, or port adapters. Ensure that the strap makes good skin contact and connect the strap's clip to an unpainted chassis surface to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.

If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.

The following guidelines are recommended to prevent ESD damage:


Caution Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be within the range of 1 and 10 megohms.


Warning When installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.

Removing and Replacing the Blower Assembly

This section lists tools and parts you need, and explains how to remove and replace the blower assembly in the dial shelf chassis.

Tools and Parts Required

You need the following parts and tools to remove and replace the blower assembly. If you need additional equipment, contact a service representative for ordering information.

Ensuring Easy System Access

If your Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server is installed in a standard 19-inch, 4-post or standard telco rack, cables from other equipment in the rack might obstruct access to the system rear. The rack power strips or other permanent fixtures might also cause obstruction.

Use the following guidelines to ensure easy system access when the system is installed in a rack:

Removing the Blower Assembly


Caution The system will shut down two minutes after the system temperature threshold has been reached. Although normal blower assembly replacement is estimated not to exceed 30 seconds, if you expect the replacement process to exceed one minute, we recommend that you shut down the system prior to the removal and replacement process.

Caution The blower assembly weighs 27.5 lb (12.5 kg). Use two hands when removing or replacing the blower assembly.

To remove the blower assembly, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unpainted chassis surface.

Step 2 Loosen the two captive screws on the blower assembly front panel. (See Figure 5.)

Step 3 Grasp the blower assembly handle with one hand and pull the blower assembly straight toward you about half way out of the slot.

Step 4 Place your other hand under the blower assembly as it extends from the dial shelf chassis to support the blower and prevent it from falling.

Step 5 Slowly pull the blower assembly all the way out of the slot and place it on an antistatic mat or in packaging to return it to the factory.

This completes the blower assembly removal process. Proceed to the section "Replacing the Blower Assembly."

Replacing the Blower Assembly

To replace the blower assembly in the dial shelf, complete the following steps. Refer to Figure 5 to orient yourself with the dial shelf chassis and the blower assembly. When you are finished, use a Site Log sheet to record service maintenance.


Caution The blower assembly weighs 27.5 lb (12.5 kg). Use two hands when removing or replacing the blower assembly.

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unpainted chassis surface.

Step 2 Place one hand on the blower assembly handle and place your other hand under the blower assembly to support the weight.

Step 3 Position the blower assembly in the opening and slide it fully into the chassis until the backplane connectors mate.

Step 4 Using a 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver, tighten the two captive screws on the blower assembly front panel.

Step 5 Note service maintenance on your Site Log sheet.

This completes the blower assembly installation procedure. Proceed to the section "Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation" to verify your installation.

Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation

To verify that the blower assembly is properly installed and operational, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Listen to verify the fans are operative. In noisy environments, you might want to place your hand to the rear of the blower assembly and feel for air flow from the exhaust vent.

Step 2 Verify the green power LED on the blower assembly front panel lights.

If the power LED remains off, verify the blower assembly is fully installed in the dial shelf and the connector is firmly connected to the backplane; verify the captive screws are adequately tightened.


Step 3 Verify the yellow fault LED on the blower assembly front panel remains off.

If the fault LED lights, the newly installed blower assembly might be faulty, or the chassis connector might be damaged. Shut off system power; remove the blower assembly from the dial shelf, and check the connectors. If the connectors are in good condition, reinstall the blower assembly in the dial shelf and power ON the system.


If the fault LED is still on, assume the blower assembly is faulty. Install another blower assembly and return the faulty blower assembly to the factory.


This completes troubleshooting the blower assembly. If you have any questions or need assistance, proceed to the section "Cisco Connection Online."
