Preparing to Repackage the Cisco 5814 Dial Shelf

Step 9 Disconnect incoming CE1 or CT1 trunk line cables and secure them out of the way using cable ties, if necessary. On the dial shelf controller card, disconnect the dial shelf interconnect cable and the BNC connection if applicable.

This completes the power-off sequence. Proceed to the following section, “Preparing to Repackage the Cisco 5814 Dial Shelf.”

Preparing to Repackage the Cisco 5814 Dial Shelf

The Cisco 5814 dial shelf is equipped with a blower assembly, dial shelf cards (trunk and modem cards) and dial shelf controller cards configured in the chassis. Fully loaded, the dial shelf weighs 278 lb (126.1 kg).

Before removing the Cisco 5814 from the rack, we recommend that you remove the dial shelf cards, dial shelf controller cards, and the blower assembly from the dial shelf to decrease the chassis weight (see the “Removing the Blower Assembly” section on page 2-6and the “Removing Dial Shelf Cards and Dial Shelf Controller Cards” section on page 2-9), then reinstall the components (See the “Replacing the Dial Shelf Components” section on page 3-10)after the dial shelf is seated on the shipping pallet/base tray assembly.

Repackaging the Cisco 5814 Dial Shelf

To repackage the Cisco 5814 dial shelf, follow these steps:

Step 1 Lay the opened plastic bag, with sides rolled down, on the pallet/base tray assembly. (See Figure C-1.)

Step 2 Remove the screws securing the rear mounting brackets on the dial shelf to the rear rack posts. Next, remove the rear brackets from the dial shelf chassis.

Caution If the dial shelf is suspended in the rack, install the two support brackets that were included in your original rack-mount kit under the chassis to prevent it from falling while you are removing the rack-mount screws and brackets.

Step 3 Remove the screws securing the front of the dial shelf chassis to the rack.

Step 4 Lift and slide the chassis out of the rack.

Warning Two people are required to lift the chassis. Use the handles on the chassis sides. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. To prevent damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis with the handles on the power supplies, the filter module, or on the blower assembly. These handles are not designed to support the weight of the chassis. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Step 5 Seat the dial shelf on the pallet/base tray assembly, and remove the front rack-mount brackets from the chassis sides, if applicable.

Step 6 Place all accessories (including power cords, cables, documentation, and mounting hardware) in the accessories box and tape the box closed.

Step 7 Replace the blower assembly, dial shelf cards, and dial shelf controller cards you removed into the dial shelf chassis.

AS5800 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in the networking and telecommunications field, and its AS5800 series of routers exemplify this tradition. The AS5800, along with the AS5850, AS5350, AS5400, and AS5300, provides robust solutions for service providers and enterprise-level networking applications. Each of these models has distinct features and characteristics that cater to the evolving demands of internet traffic and data processing.

The Cisco AS5800 is designed for high-capacity routing and optimized for broadband services. It supports a wide range of services, including voice, data, and video applications, making it a versatile option for service providers looking to deliver integrated solutions. It is equipped with advanced quality of service (QoS) features that ensure bandwidth is allocated effectively, holding strong even under heavy traffic conditions.

In comparison, the AS5850 offers superior processing capabilities and is typically utilized in larger-scale implementations. This model supports high-density interfaces, allowing numerous connections without compromising performance. Its architecture includes enhanced MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support, enabling more efficient traffic management and better utilization of network resources.

The AS5350 is known for its scalability and energy efficiency, ideal for voice-over-IP (VoIP) and media gateway applications. It supports various telephony features, such as protocol interworking and transcoding, making it a preferred choice for organizations focusing on digital voice technologies. The AS5300, while slightly older, continues to be a valuable asset for less demanding networks, offering reliable performance with VoIP capabilities and basic data applications.

The AS5400 bridges the gap between high-performance routing and operational efficiency. It incorporates Cisco's proprietary technologies to ensure seamless connectivity and robust failover systems. This model is highly regarded for its security features, protecting network integrity and providing peace of mind for businesses relying on sensitive data transfer.

Overall, Cisco’s AS5800 series showcases a progressive evolution of routing capabilities with enhanced features tailored for resilience, scalability, and performance. These routers not only address the technical needs of modern networks but also strategically position organizations for future growth in an increasingly digital world. Each model, with its unique attributes, continues to support the varied demands of global communication infrastructures.
