Introducing the Cisco Wide Area

Application Engine

This chapter provides a basic functional overview of the Cisco Wide Area

Application Engine 7326 (WAE-7326), and describes the hardware, major

components, and front and back panel indicators and controls.

This chapter contains the following sections:

•

Introduction, page 1-1

Software Functional Description, page 1-4

Hardware Features, page 1-6

Introduction

The Wide Area Application Engine (WAE-7326) supports three different software

installations that provide a comprehensive set of services for the remote office:

Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) software, Cisco Wide Area File

System (WAFS) software and Cisco Application and Content Networking System

(ACNS) software.

The following software releases support the WAE-7326 appliance:

•

WAAS 4.0.1 and later

WAFS 3.0 and later

ACNS 5.3.3 and later

Csico Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide

OL-6831-02

1-1

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.

Csico Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide

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)

Csico Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide

OL-6831-02

1-4

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

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

For adapter specifications, see Table A-3 in Appendix A.

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.

Csico Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide

OL-6831-02

1-16

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.

Hardware Features

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

can negotiate different speeds independently.

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.

Crossover or Straight-through

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

configure the port to use autosense (not manual selection of speed/duplex).

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.

Csico Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide

OL-6831-02

1-20

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).

Csico Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide

OL-6831-02

1-21

Chapter 1 Introducing the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine

Hardware Features

For example, if you are connecting a router and a switch (two different

devices) through the W AE inline appliance, use a straight-through cable on

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

inline network adapter ports to the network devices using the proper cables.

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. This section

shows cabling examples for Fast Ethernet connections only, because Fast Ethernet

has specific cabling requirements.

The inline network adapter has four ports that are divided into two inline groups

(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.)

Installing the Chassis on a Tabletop

When you install a WAE on a workbench or tabletop, ensure that the surface is

clean and in a safe location and that you have considered the following points:

•

The chassis should be installed off the floor. (Dust that accumulates on the

floor is drawn into the interior of the chassis by the cooling fans. Excessive

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.

Also make sure that there is adequate clearance at the front and rear of the chassis.

Checking the LEDs

Note

While the WAE is powering up, the green power on LED on the front of

the WAE is on.

Checking the LEDs

When the WAE is up and running, observe the front panel LEDs (see Figure 1-2

and Table 1-2) to verify that your system is operating properly.

To troubleshoot using the LEDs, see Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting the System

Hardware.”

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.

Chapter 3 Installing the Wide Area Application Engine

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.

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the System Hardware

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

Customer-replaceable components include the Fibre Channel adapter and hard

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.)

Note

Read the “Working Inside the WAE with the Power On” section on page 2-7

before opening the chassis cover.

Identifying System Problems

To identify system problems, follow these steps:

Step 1

Step 2

Start the diagnostic programs and check for the following responses:

•

One beep

Readable instructions or the main menu

Step 10 Take one of the following actions:

•

If you received both responses, run the diagnostic programs. For information

on how to use the diagnostic programs, see the “Using the System Diagnostic

Programs” section on page 5-5.

If the diagnostic programs were completed successfully and you still suspect

a problem, see the “Undetermined Problems” section on page 5-25.

•

If you did not receive both responses, find the failure symptom in the

“Symptoms and Solutions” section on page 5-28.

Checking Connections and Switches

Improperly set switches and controls and loose or improperly connected cables

are the most likely source of problems for the chassis or other external equipment.

A quick check of all the switches, controls, and cable connections can easily

solve these problems. (See Figure 1-2 for the location of front panel controls

and indicators. See Figure 1-3 for the location of back panel connectors on

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the System Hardware

Using the System Diagnostic Programs

The device diagnostic programs are stored in upgradable read-only memory

(ROM) on the system board. These programs are the primary method of testing

the following major components of the device: the system board, Ethernet

controller, RAM, serial ports, and hard disk drives. You can also use the

diagnostic programs to test some external devices. See the “Diagnostic Programs

and Error Messages” section on page 5-7.

If you cannot determine whether a problem is caused by the hardware or by the

software, you can run the diagnostic programs to confirm that the hardware is

working properly.

When you run the diagnostic programs, a single problem might cause several error

messages. When this occurs, work to correct the cause of the first error message.

After the cause of the first error message is corrected, the other error messages

might not occur the next time you run the test.

When troubleshooting, note the following points:

•

If multiple error codes are displayed, diagnose the first error code that is

displayed.

If the computer stops with a POST error, go to the “POST Error Codes”

section on page 5-52 .

If the computer stops and no error message is displayed, go to the

“Undetermined Problems” section on page 5-25.

For power supply problems, see the “Power Supply LED Errors” section on

page 5-50.

For safety information, see Chapter 2, “Preparing to Install the Wide Area

Application Engine.”

For intermittent problems, check the error log.

Diagnostic Tools Overview

The following tools are available to help you identify and resolve

hardware-related problems:

•

POST beep codes and error messages

Cisco Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide

OL-6831-02

5-5

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the System Hardware

Using the System Diagnostic Programs

The power-on self-test (POST) generates beep codes and messages to indicate

successful test completion or the detection of a problem. See the next section,

“POST,” for more information.

•

Error log

The POST error log contains the three most recent error codes and messages

that the system has generated during POST. The system error log contains all

the error messages that were issued during POST.

•

SCSI error messages

For information on SCSI errors, see the “SCSI Errors” section on page 5-60.

Diagnostic programs and error messages

The device diagnostic programs are stored in ROM on the system board.

These programs are the primary method of testing the major components of

your device. See the “Diagnostic Programs and Error Messages” section on

page 5-7 for more information.

•

Light Path Diagnostics

Your device has LEDs to help you identify problems with device components.

These LEDs are part of the Light Path Diagnostics that are built into your

device. By following the path of LEDs, you can quickly identify the type of

system error that occurred. See the “Using Light Path Diagnostics” section on

page 5-21 for more information.

Error symptom charts

These charts list problem symptoms, along with suggested steps to

correct the problems. See the “Error Symptoms” section on page 5-43

for more information.

POST

When you power up the device, it performs a series of tests to check the operation

of device components and some of the hardware options installed in the device.

This series of tests is called the power-on self-test, or POST.

If POST finishes without detecting any problems, a single beep sounds, and the

first screen of your operating system or application program appears.

Cisco Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide

OL-6831-02

5-6

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the System Hardware

Using the System Diagnostic Programs

If POST detects a problem, more than one beep sounds, and an error message

appears on your screen. See the “Beep Symptoms” section on page 5-28 and

“POST Error Codes” section on page 5-52 for more information.

Note

If you have a power-up password or administrator password set, you must enter

the password and press Enter when prompted, before POST will continue.

A single problem might cause several error messages. When this occurs, work to

correct the cause of the first error message. After you correct the cause of the first

error message, the other error messages usually will not occur the next time that

you run the test.

The POST error log contains the three most recent error codes and messages that

the system generated during POST. The system error log contains all messages

issued during POST and all system status messages from the service processor.

You can view the contents of the system error log from the diagnostic programs.

Diagnostic Programs and Error Messages

The device diagnostic programs are stored in upgradable ROM on the system

board. These programs are the primary method of testing the major components

of your device.

Diagnostic error messages indicate that a problem exists; they are not intended to

be used to identify a failing part. Troubleshooting and servicing of complex

problems that are indicated by error messages should be performed by trained

service personnel.

Sometimes the first error to occur causes additional errors. In this case, the device

displays more than one error message. Always follow the suggested action

instructions for the first error message that appears.

The following sections contain the error codes that might appear in the detailed

test log and summary log when the diagnostic programs are run.

The error code format is as follows:

fff-ttt-iii-date-cc-text message

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the System Hardware

Checking the Power Subsystem

Note

If diagnostic error messages appear that are not listed in the tables, make sure that

your device has the latest levels of BIOS and diagnostics microcode installed.

Checking the Power Subsystem

Power problems can be difficult to solve. For example, a short circuit can exist

anywhere on any of the power distribution buses. Usually a short circuit will cause

the power subsystem to shut down because of an overcurrent condition.

To perform a general procedure for troubleshooting power problems, follow these

steps:

Step 1

Step 2

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.

Memory module (with a minimum of two 128-MB DIMMs)

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.

•

Determine whether the hub supports autonegotiation. If it does not, try

configuring the integrated Ethernet controller manually to match the speed

and duplex mode of the hub.

Check the Ethernet controller LEDs on the device back panel. (See

Figure 1-3.)

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the System Hardware

Troubleshooting the Ethernet Controller

These LEDs indicate whether a problem exists with the connector, cable,

or hub.

–

The Ethernet activity LED is on when the Ethernet controller sends or

receives data over the Ethernet network. If the Ethernet activity LED is

off, make sure that the hub and network are operating and that the correct

device drivers are installed.

–

The Ethernet link status LED is on when the Ethernet controller receives

a link pulse from the hub. If the LED is off, there might be a defective

connector or cable or a problem with the hub.

•

Make sure that you are using the correct device drivers that are supplied with

your device.

•

Check for operating system-specific causes for the problem.

Make sure that the device drivers on the client and the device are using the

same protocol.

•

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

the device or on the power supply will be on. Your device has LEDs to help you

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.)

Undetermined Problems

Note

If you suspect a networking problem and all the system tests pass, suspect

a network cabling problem external to the system.

Problem-Solving Tips

Because of the variety of hardware and software combinations that can be

encountered, use the following information to assist you in identifying the

problems. If possible, have this information available when requesting technical

assistance.

•

Machine type and model

Microprocessor or hard disk upgrades

Failure symptom

–

Do diagnostics fail?

What, when, where; single or multiple systems?

Is the failure repeatable?

Has this configuration ever worked?

If it has been working, what changes were made before it failed?

Is this the original reported failure?

•

Diagnostics type and version level

Hardware configuration

–

Print (print screen) configuration currently in use

BIOS level

•

Operating system software type and version level

To eliminate confusion, identical systems are considered identical only if they

meet all these conditions:

•

Are the exact machine type and models

Have the same BIOS level

Have the same adapters or attachments in the same locations

Cisco Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide

OL-6831-02

5-27

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the System Hardware

Symptoms and Solutions

•

Have the same address jumpers, terminators, and cabling

•

Have the same software versions and levels

Have the same diagnostics code

Have the same configuration options set in the system

Have the same setup for the operating system control files

Comparing the configuration and software setup in working and nonworking

systems often leads to resolution of the problem.

Symptoms and Solutions

This section lists symptoms, errors, and the possible causes. The most likely cause

is listed first. Use this symptom-to-solution index to help you decide which

components your service representative needs to have available when servicing

the system.

The first column of the three-column tables in this section lists the error code or

message, the second column describes the error, and the third column lists one or

more suggested actions or components that need to be reseated or replaced. Use

the table to identify possible causes for the error message and then call your

service representative.

The POST BIOS code displays POST error codes and messages on the screen.

Beep Symptoms

Beep symptoms are short tones or a series of short tones separated by pauses

(intervals without sound). See the examples in the following table.

5-33

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting the System Hardware

Symptoms and Solutions

When checking the diagnostic panel LEDs, note the following information:

•

If a diagnostic panel LED is on and the front panel system error LED is off,

there is probably an LED problem. Run the LED diagnostics.

•

To locate the LEDs on the system board, see Figure 5-1 on page 5-17.

Check the system error log for additional information before replacing a

component. (See the “Viewing Error Logs” section on page 5-10.)

•

The DIMM error LEDs, microprocessor error LEDs, and VRM error LEDs

on the system board go off when the system is powered down.

Table 5-7 provides the diagnostic panel LED error definitions. The third column

lists one or more suggested actions or components that need to be reseated or

replaced. Use this table to identify possible causes for the error message and then

Maintaining the Wide Area

Application Engine

Proper use of preventive maintenance procedures can keep the Wide Area

Application Engine (WAE) in good operating condition and minimize the need for

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.

Cisco Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide

OL-6831-02

B-1

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.

Cisco Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide

OL-6831-02

B-2

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.

Cisco Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide

OL-6831-02

B-3

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

humidity can corrode the gold-plated edge connectors and pin connectors on

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

Cisco Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide

OL-6831-02

B-4

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

B-5

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

Space heaters

Power tools

Teletype machines

Adding machines

Laser printers

Facsimile machines

Any other motorized equipment

Cisco Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide

OL-6831-02

B-6

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.

Cisco Wide Area Application Engine 7326 Hardware Installation Guide

OL-6831-02

B-7

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.
