Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the Cisco AS5350 universal gateway, a versatile data and voice communications platform that provides high performance, high density, and hot-swap capability in only one rack unit.
The Cisco AS5350 is intended for small- to medium-size companies who require dense and scalable solutions to create new multiservice access networks, replace existing gateway hardware, or expand and enhance their current access offering. The Cisco AS5350 provides you with a cost-effective platform for deploying the widest range of IP-based services.
This chapter includes the following sections:
Chassis Components
The chassis consists of the following components:
•
One modular chassis with motherboard, high-speed backplane and three DFC slots (see Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2)

Dial Feature Cards (DFCs)
The Dial Feature Card (DFC) is a 5.1 by 13 inch PCI-based interface board that allows online insertion and removal (OIR) of trunk ingress, and modem cards without rebooting or powering off the system.
The chassis includes one backplane slot which accepts a DFC carrier card. The DFC carrier card accepts two DFCs, which allow OIR. The motherboard accepts one DFC in its own dedicated slot.
Note
Power Supply
The power system is comprised of a single AC or DC power supply or a redundant AC or DC power supply. Cooling is provided by two self-contained fans.
Note
Each power module is capable of supplying a maximum DC load of 150 watts, and is composed of four independent output voltages: 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and -12V. AC input units have power factor correction, and low Total Harmonic Distortion. Power failures are reported through environmental monitoring software.
Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving "clean" power (free of spikes and noise). Install a power conditioner if necessary.
