Step 7 For AC powered units, reconnect the AC power cord. For DC powered units, reinstate power at the circuit breaker. For more information on the AC and DC power supplies, refer to the chassis installation guide. To access the chassis guide see the “Documents, Equipment, and Tools” section on page 2.

Step 8 Reconnect all interface cables.

Installing DFCs

For detailed information on installing and connecting DFCs, refer to the Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400 Universal Gateway Card Installation Guide. You can access this document at Cisco Product Documentation > Access Servers and Access Routers > Access Servers > Cisco AS5350 or Cisco AS5400 > Hardware Installation Documents for Cisco AS5350 or Cisco AS5400.

Note When you replace a DFC with a new DFC of the same type in the same slot, the system software recognizes the new trunk interfaces and brings them up automatically. If you replace the existing DFC with a new DFC of a different type, you must reconfigure the system. For configuration details, refer to the Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400 Universal

Gateway Software Configuration Guide.

Note The Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400 support one type of WAN DFC at a time. For more information about mixing WAN DFCs, see the Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400 Universal Gateway Card Installation Guide.
