Hardware Features
Location of Ports and Connectors

The WAE appliance supports two Ethernet connectors and one serial I/O
connector on the front and back of the device.
• Ethernet Port Connectors
• Serial Port Connector
Figure 1-2 shows the back panel ports and connectors.
Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits
to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits,
and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45
connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 1021
Ethernet Port Connectors

Connect a Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable to an Ethernet
connector. 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Fast Ethernet standards require
Category 5 or higher cabling.
The WAE has three Ethernet connectors. Two of the Ethernet connectors are
attached to the Ethernet controllers and the third connector is the
systems-management Ethernet connector, which is not supported by the WAAS
software.
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.
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,
switching occurs without data loss and without user intervention.

unplug the power cord. Statement 1
Warning This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections
must be removed to de-energize the unit. Statement 1028
Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted
access area is where access can only be gained by service personnel through
the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is
controlled by the authority responsible for the location. Statement 37
Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits
to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits,
and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45
connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 1021
Warning This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent)
protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S.
(240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the phase conductors (all
current-carrying conductors). Statement 13
Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or
operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor.
Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you
are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024

• Observe power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all
products plugged into the power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the power
strip ampere ratings limit.
• Do not use appliance or voltage converters or kits sold for appliances with
your product.
• To help protect your system components from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Position cables and power cords carefully; route cables and the power cord
and plug so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that
nothing rests on your system components’ cables or power cord.
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your
power company for site modifications. Always follow your local or national
wiring rules.
System Reliability Considerations

To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure the following
occurs:
• Each of the drive bays has either a drive or a filler panel installed.
• Each of the power-supply bays has a power supply or a power supply-filler
panel installed.
• For rack configurations, make sure that space is available around the
appliance to enable the cooling system to work properly. See the
documentation that comes with the rack for additional information.
• The appliance cover is in place during normal operation.
• The air baffle cover over the microprocessors remains closed during normal
operation.
• The air baffle is installed between the fans and the power supply.
• A removed hot-swappable drive is replaced within 2 minutes of removal.
• Cables for optional adapters are routed according to the instructions provided
with the adapters.
• A failed fan is replaced within 48 hours.
2-6 OL-15012-02
Safety Guidelines
• The appliance is powered down and the power cords are disconnected before
you open the air baffle cover.
• The air baffle assembly is always installed in the appliance except when you
are installing or removing the components that are located under the air baffle
cover.
• When the air baffle assembly is installed in the appliance, the air baffle cover
is always closed.
• Microprocessor socket 2 always contains either a microprocessor baffle or
a microprocessor.
Working Inside the WAE with the Power On

The WAE is designed to operate safely with the cover removed for short periods
(less than 30 minutes). You might need to remove the cover while the power is on,
for example, to observe the Light Path diagnostic LEDs when troubleshooting.
When you work inside an appliance that is powered on, follow these guidelines:

Safety Guidelines
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside the appliance. To prevent
static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of
your system’s electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted
metal surface on the chassis.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge (ESD):
• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not
remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are
ready to install the component in your system. Just before unwrapping the
antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic
container or packaging.
• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use
antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
• Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
• Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
• Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
• Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, because
heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

To remove the WAE from the rack, reverse these instructions. Store these
installation instructions with your WAE documentation for future use.
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 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.
Step 2 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 Place the chassis on the tabletop or workbench.
3-10 OL-15012-02
Connecting Cables
Step 4 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.
Connecting Cables
To connect cables to your WAE, follow these steps:
Step 1 Power down the appliance before connecting cables to or disconnecting any
cables from the appliance.
Step 2 See the documentation that comes with your optional equipment for additional
cabling instructions. It might be easier for you to route the cables before you
install specific optional equipment.
Step 3 See the cable identifiers that are printed on the cables that come with the WAE
and options. Use these identifiers to connect the cables to the correct connectors.
Figure 1-2 shows the locations of the input and output connectors on your device.
Connecting Power and Booting the System

To connect power to your system, follow these steps:
Step 1 Review the information in the “Safety Guidelines” section on page 2-4.
Step 2 Plug a power cord into each power cord receptacle on the back of the WAE.
Note For the WAE-7371 and WAE-7341 you must connect a power cord to both
power supplies. If only one power supply is connected, when you turn on
the power, the system error LED lights and the system makes a loud noise.
Step 3 Connect the other end of each power cord to a power source at your
installation site.
OL-15012-02 3-11
Checking the LEDs
Step 4 Power up all externally connected devices.

Step 5 Press the power control button on the front of the WAE.
The system should begin booting. Once the operating system boots, you are ready
to initialize the basic software configuration. (See the software configuration
guide for details.)
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 1-1
and Table 1-1) to verify that your system is operating properly.
To troubleshoot using the LEDs, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting the System
Hardware.”
Removing or Replacing a WAE

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 action 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.
3-12 OL-15012-02
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.

Replacing a Hard Disk Drive

The WAE supports as many as six 1-inch (26-mm) slim, 3.5-inch hard disk drives
installed on Ultra-Slim hard disk drive trays for 3.5-inch drives.
You can replace one disk drive at a time in the RAID-5 disk array. If multiple hard
disks fail, the RAID-5 logical drive automatically goes into the Offline state.
Note All hard disk drives being used in the device must be identical.
Note The SCSI ID assigned to each bay is printed on the bezel.
Caution To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the device for more than 10
minutes without either a hard disk drive or a filler panel installed in each bay.
To replace a hard disk drive in a bay, follow these steps:
Step 2 Enter the disk disk-name diskxx replace command in EXEC mode at the WAAS
CLI on the WAE.
Step 3 Verify that the disk drive diskxx is in the Defunct state by entering the show disks
details command in EXEC mode. The RAID logical drive is in the Critical state
at this point.
Step 4 Move the handle (see Figure 4-9) on the drive to the open position (perpendicular
to the drive).
OL-15012-02 4-13
Figure 4-9 Replacing a Hard Disk Drive

Step 5 Pull the hot-swap drive assembly from the bay.
Step 6 Wait for 1 minute and then insert the new drive into the same slot by aligning the
replacement drive assembly with guide rails in the bay and sliding the drive
assembly into the bay until it stops. Make sure that the drive is properly seated in
the bay.
Note Be sure there is no data on the replacement drive. The replacement hard
drive should be new or newly-formatted.
Step 7 Close the drive handle.

Step 8 Check the hard disk drive status LED to verify that the hard disk drive is operating
correctly. If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit continuously,
that drive is faulty and must be replaced. If the green hard disk drive activity LED
is flashing, the drive is being accessed.
Step 9 Wait 1 minute and then verify that the replaced disk drive is in the Rebuilding state
by using the show disks details command in EXEC mode.
Note The ServeRAID controller automatically starts the rebuild operation

when it detects the removal and reinsertion of a drive that is part of the
logical RAID drive.
4-14 OL-15012-02
Replacing a Power Supply
Step 10 Wait until the rebuild operation is complete. You can check if the rebuild
operation is complete by using the show disk details command in EXEC mode.
The physical drive state will be Online and the RAID logical drive state will be
Okay after the rebuild operation is completed.
A 300 GB SAS drive may take up to 5 hours to finish rebuilding.

If you have multiple disk failures and your RAID-5 logical status is Offline, you
must recreate the RAID-5 array. For more information on disk removal and
replacement procedures, see the Cisco Wide Area Application Services
Configuration Guide, Chapter 15, “Maintaining Your WAAS System.”

The WAE supports two hot-swap power supplies.
Note If the device has two power supplies and you remove either of them, the device
will not have redundant power; if the device power load exceeds 835 W, the device
might not start or might not function correctly.

Inline Network Adapter Description

The WAE 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 5-1.)
OL-15012-02 5-1
Chapter 5 WAE Inline Network Adapter
Inline Network Adapter Description
Figure 5-1 Inline Network Adapter
159701
The Cisco WAE inline network adapter provides an inline traffic interception
capability for your appliance. When you configure the WAE appliance 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 CLI or the WAAS Central Manager GUI.
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.
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, you must insert the adapter 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 that allows you to 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
5-2 OL-15012-02
Ports and LED Indicators
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.

The inline network adapter ships with two types of cables: crossover and
straight-through. When you connect the WAE inline network adapter, the cable
that you use depends on the link speed (Gigabit Ethernet or Fast Ethernet) and the
types of devices (DCE or DTE) being connected.
OL-15012-02 5-5
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 you
configure any of your connecting interfaces for Fast Ethernet (whether on a switch
or a router), your WAE inline adapter uses Fast Ethernet. If you configure any of
your connecting interfaces for Gigabit Ethernet, your WAE inline adapter uses
Gigabit Ethernet. Speed and duplex settings are port specific so that 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 5-3 shows the cable requirements for WAE and non-WAE connections when
you are using Gigabit Ethernet end to end.

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
5-6 OL-15012-02
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 5-4. For
illustrations and examples, see the “Installation Scenarios and Cabling Examples
for Fast Ethernet Connections” section on page 5-9.)
To connect the inline network adapter using the correct cables for Fast Ethernet
connections, follow these steps:
Step 1 Determine the type of cable that 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.
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 decide 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 5-4 shows the cable requirements for WAE and non-WAE connections when
you are using Fast Ethernet end to end.
OL-15012-02 5-7
Table 5-4 Cable Requirements for WAE Connections Using Fast Ethernet

Switch to WAE and Straight-through
WAE to Router Crossover
Switch to WAE and Straight-through
WAE to Switch Straight-through
Router to WAE and Straight-through
WAE to Router Straight-through
WAE to WAE Crossover
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).
For example, if you are connecting a router and a switch (two different
devices) through the WAE 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 5-3 through Figure 5-5 show which cables to use for the WAE LAN
and WAN connections between Fast Ethernet ports.
5-8 OL-15012-02
Installation Scenarios and Cabling Examples for Fast Ethernet Connections
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 5-3). The WAE can be
physically placed inline between two distinct network paths, creating redundant
WAN links. (See Figure 5-3.)
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 serial
cluster configuration, if one WAE fails or becomes overloaded, the other WAE can
provide optimization. (See Figure 5-4.)
Note When you connect two WAE inline appliances to each other serially, always use
a crossover cable between the two WAEs. (See Figure 5-5.)

Troubleshooting the System Hardware
This chapter provides basic troubleshooting information to help you identify

some common problems that might occur with your Wide Area Application
Engine (WAE).
• Identifying System Problems, page 6-2
• Checking Connections and Switches, page 6-3
• Using the System Diagnostic Programs, page 6-4
• Checking the Power Subsystem, page 6-11
• Troubleshooting the Ethernet Controller, page 6-12

Use the information in this chapter to determine whether a problem originates
with the hardware or the software. For further assistance, contact your customer
service representative.
Note The WAAS software does not support the use of a keyboard or mouse
(Personal System/2 [PS/2] or Universal Serial Bus [USB]) for Linux and WAAS
software troubleshooting. However, the keyboard and mouse are supported by the
BIOS for power-on self-test (POST) and the diagnostic programs that are located
in the device ROM.
OL-15012-02 6-1
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting the System Hardware
Identifying System Problems
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 ports (such as the systems-management Ethernet
connector and the SAS connector) that are not supported by the WAAS software
are invalid.
Caution Customer-replaceable components include the Inline Network adapter, hard disk
drives, and power supplies. 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 the Cisco Technical Assistance Center
(TAC).
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 Check the power supply LEDs. (See Table 6-1 on page 6-12.)
Step 2 Power down the device and all external devices.
Step 3 Check all cables and power cords. (See the “Checking Connections and Switches”
section on page 6-3.)
Step 4 Set all display controls on the terminal or display device to the middle position.
Step 5 Power up all external devices.
Step 6 Power up the device.
Step 7 Check the system error LED on the front panel (see Figure 1-1); if it is on, see the
“System Error LED and the Diagnostic Panel LEDs” section on page 6-30.
6-2 OL-15012-02
Checking Connections and Switches
Step 8 Record any POST error messages that are displayed on the screen. If an error is
displayed, look up the first error in the “POST Error Codes” section on page 6-49.
Step 9 If you did not hear a single beep, indicating successful completion of POST, take
one of the following actions:
• If no beeps sounded, run the diagnostic programs. For information on how to
use the diagnostic programs, see the “Using the System Diagnostic
Programs” section on page 6-4.
If the diagnostic programs were completed successfully and you still suspect
a problem, see the “Undetermined Problems” section on page 6-21.
• If you hear more than a single beep, find the beep code in the “Beep
Symptoms” section on page 6-25. If necessary, see the “Undetermined
Problems” section on page 6-21.
Step 10 Check the system error log. If an error was recorded by the system, see the
“Symptoms and Solutions” section on page 6-24.
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 1-1 for the location of front panel controls
and indicators. See Figure 1-2 for the location of back panel connectors on
the system.)
To check all the connections and switches, follow these steps:
Step 1 Power down the system, including any attached peripherals such as external
drives. Disconnect all the power cables from their electrical outlets.
Step 2 If the system is connected to a power strip (or power distribution unit), turn the
power strip off and then on again.
Is the power strip receiving power?
Yes. Go to Step 5.
No. Go to Step 3.
OL-15012-02 6-3
Using the System Diagnostic Programs
Step 3 Plug the power strip into another electrical outlet.

Is the power strip receiving power?
Yes. The original electrical outlet probably does not function. Use a different
electrical outlet.
No. Go to Step 4.
Step 4 Plug a system that you know works into the electrical outlet.
Does the system receive power?
Yes. The power strip is probably not functioning properly. Use another power
strip.
No. Go to Step 5.
Step 5 Reconnect the system to the electrical outlet or power strip.
Make sure that all connections fit tightly together.
Step 6 Power up the system.
Is the problem resolved?
Yes. The connections were loose. You have fixed the problem.
No. Call your customer service representative. (See the “Obtaining
Documentation, Obtaining Support, and Security Guidelines” section on
page xiv.)

The device diagnostic programs are stored in 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. See the “Diagnostic Programs and Error
Messages” section on page 6-7.
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.
6-4 OL-15012-02
When you run the diagnostic programs, a single problem might cause several error
messages. When this situation occurs, you should 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 device stops with a POST error, go to the “POST Error Codes” section
on page 6-49.
• If the device stops and no error message is displayed, go to the
“Undetermined Problems” section on page 6-21.
• For power supply problems, see the “Checking the Power Subsystem” section
on page 6-11.
• For safety information, see Chapter 2, “Preparing to Install the Wide Area
Application Engine.”
• For intermittent problems, check the error log.
This section contains the following topics:
• Diagnostic Tools Overview, page 6-5
• POST Overview, page 6-6
• Diagnostic Programs and Error Messages, page 6-7
Diagnostic Tools Overview

The following tools are available to help you identify and resolve
hardware-related problems:
• POST beep codes and error messages
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 Overview,” 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.
OL-15012-02 6-5
• 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 6-7 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 6-21 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 6-40
for more information.
POST Overview
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.
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 6-25 and
“POST Error Codes” section on page 6-49 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.
6-6 OL-15012-02
Note A single problem might cause several error messages. When this situation occurs,
you should 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 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
The following are the meanings of the error message elements:
Error Message Element Explanation

fff 3-digit function code that indicates the function being tested when the error
occurred. For example, function code 089 is for the microprocessor.
ttt 3-digit failure code that indicates the exact test failure that was
encountered. (These codes are for trained service personnel; see the
“Diagnostic Error Codes” section on page 6-33.)
OL-15012-02 6-7
Error Message Element Explanation

iii 3-digit device ID. (These codes are for trained service personnel; see the
“Diagnostic Error Codes” section on page 6-33.)
date The date that the diagnostic test was run and the error recorded.
cc Check value that is used to verify the validity of the information.
text message Message that indicates the reason for the problem.The format is as follows:
Function Name: Result (test-specific string)
where
Function Name is the name of the function being tested when the error
occurred. This corresponds to the function code (fff) shown in the error
code format in the previous section.
The result can be one of the following:
• Passed—This result occurs when the diagnostic test is completed
without any errors.
• Failed—This result occurs when the diagnostic test discovers an error.
• User Aborted—This result occurs when you stop the diagnostic test
before it is complete.
• Not Applicable—This result occurs when you specify a diagnostic test
for a device that is not present.
• Aborted—This result occurs when the test could not proceed, for
example, because of the system configuration.
• Warning—This result occurs when the test could not be run. There was
no failure of the hardware that was being tested, but there might be a
hardware failure elsewhere, or another problem prevented the test from
running. For example, there might be a configuration problem, or the
hardware might be missing or is not being recognized.
The test-specific string is additional information that you can use to analyze
the problem.

Starting the Diagnostic Programs

To start the diagnostic programs, follow these steps:
Step 1 Power up the device and watch the console.
Note To run the diagnostic programs, you must start the device with the highest
level password that is set. That is, if an administrator password is set, you
must enter the administrator password, not the power-up password, to run
the diagnostic programs.
Step 2 Press F2 when this message appears:

F2 for Diagnostics
Step 3 Enter the appropriate password and then press Enter.

Step 4 From the top of the window, choose either Extended or Basic.
Step 5 When the Diagnostic Programs window appears, choose the test that you want to
run from the list that appears. Follow the instructions in the window:
• Press F1 while running the diagnostic programs to obtain help information.
You also can press F1 from within a help window to obtain online
documentation from which you can choose different categories. To exit from
the help information and return to your last location, press Esc.
• If the device stops during testing and you cannot continue, restart the device
and try running the diagnostic programs again. If the problem remains, the
component that was being tested when the device stopped needs to be
replaced.
• If you run the diagnostic programs with no mouse attached to your device,
you will not be able to navigate between test categories using the Next Cat
and Prev Cat buttons. All other functions provided by mouse-selectable
buttons are also available using the function keys. You can use the regular
keyboard test to test a USB keyboard, and you can use the regular mouse test
to test a USB mouse.
OL-15012-02 6-9
Note The WAAS software does not support USB peripheral devices, but
you can use these devices with the diagnostic programs.
• You can view device configuration information (such as system

configuration, memory contents, interrupt request [IRQ] use, direct memory
access [DMA] use, device drivers, and so on) by choosing Hardware Info
from the top of the window.
If the diagnostic programs do not detect any hardware errors but the problem
persists during normal device operations, a software error might be the cause. If
you suspect a software problem, see the Cisco WAAS software documentation.
Viewing the Test Log

For descriptions of the error messages that might appear when you run the
diagnostic programs, see the “Diagnostic Error Codes” section on page 6-33.
6-10 OL-15012-02
Checking the Power Subsystem
Note Depending on your device configuration, some of the error messages might not
appear when you run the diagnostic programs.
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 Power down the device and disconnect all AC power cords.
Step 2 Check for loose cables in the power subsystem. Also check for short circuits. For
example, check if there is a loose screw that is causing a short circuit on a circuit
board.
Step 3 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.
Step 4 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. The following are the minimum operating requirements:
• One power supply
• Power backplane
OL-15012-02 6-11
Troubleshooting the Ethernet Controller
• Power cord
• One microprocessor
• Two dual inline memory modules (2 GB DIMMs)
Table 6-1 describes the problems that are indicated by various combinations of the
AC power-supply LEDs and the power-on LED on the operator information panel
and suggested actions to correct the detected problems.

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 switch or device to which the WAE is connected
supports autonegotiation. If it does not, try configuring the integrated
Ethernet controller manually to match the speed and duplex mode of the
switch.
• Check the Ethernet controller LEDs on the device back panel. (See
Figure 1-2.)
These LEDs indicate whether a problem exists with the connector, cable,
or switch:
– The Ethernet link status LED is on when the Ethernet controller receives
a link pulse from the switch. If the LED is off, there might be a defective
connector or cable or a problem with the switch.
– 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 switch and network are operating and that the
correct device drivers are installed.
• Make sure that you are using the correct device drivers that are supplied with
your device and that the device drivers on the client and the device are using
the same protocol.
• Check for operating system-specific causes for the problem.
• Test the Ethernet controller.
The method used to test the Ethernet controller depends on which operating
system that you are using (see the Ethernet controller device driver README
files).

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 6-8 on page 6-30.)

Power Supply LEDs

The AC and DC power LEDs on the power supply provide status information
about the power supply. For details, see Table 6-1 on page 6-12.
System Error LED

If the system error LED on the operator information panel (see Figure 6-1) is on,
one or more LEDs inside the device might be on. Use the Light Path Diagnostic
panel (see Figure 6-2) to quickly identify the type of error that occurred. For
system board LED locations, see Figure 6-3. For riser-card LED locations, see
Figure 6-4.

Undetermined Problems
Remind Button
You can use the Remind button on the Light Path Diagnostics panel to place the
front panel system error LED into the Remind mode. By pressing the button, you
acknowledge the failure but indicate that you will not take immediate action. If a
new failure occurs, the system error LED comes on again.
In the Remind mode, the system error LED flashes and remains in the Remind
mode until one of the following situations occurs:
• All known problems are resolved.
• The system is restarted.
• A new problem occurs.
You can use the Remind button to delay device maintenance until a later time.
Also, resetting the system error LED enables the LED to react to another error. If
the LED is still flashing from the first error, it masks additional errors.
Using Light Path Diagnostics

The system error LED on the front of the device is on when certain system errors
occur. If the system error LED on your device is on, use Table 6-8 on page 6-30
to help determine the cause of the error and the action needed. These actions
should only be performed by trained and qualified personnel.
Use the information in this section if the diagnostic tests did not identify the
failure, the devices list is incorrect, or the system is inoperative.
Note Damaged data in CMOS can cause undetermined problems.
Note Damaged data in BIOS code can cause undetermined problems.
OL-15012-02 6-21
Check the LEDs on all the power supplies. If the LEDs indicate the power
supplies are working correctly, follow these steps:
Step 1 Power down the device.

Step 2 Be sure the device is cabled correctly.
Step 3 Remove or disconnect the following devices (one at a time) until you find the
failure (power up the device and reconfigure it each time):
• Any external devices
• Surge suppressor device (on the device)
• Modem, printer, mouse, or non-Cisco devices
• Each adapter
• Disk drives
• Memory modules (minimum requirement = 4 GB; two banks of 2 GB
DIMMs)
Note Any component that is internal to the device, with the exception of
customer-replaceable adapters, must be serviced by trained and qualified
personnel. Contact your customer service representative.
Step 4 Power up the device. If the problem remains, check the following parts in the
order listed:
a. Power backplane
b. System board
Note If the problem goes away when you remove an adapter from the system,
and replacing that adapter does not correct the problem, check the system
board.
6-22 OL-15012-02
Note If you suspect a networking problem and all the system tests pass, check
if there is 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
OL-15012-02 6-23
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 might help to resolve the problem.

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

System Error LED and the Diagnostic Panel LEDs

The system error LED is on when an error is detected. If the system error LED is
on, remove the cover and check the diagnostic panel LEDs. Table 6-8 lists all the
diagnostic panel LEDs followed by the component or action for correcting the
problem. The information in the table is valid only when the system error LED
is on.
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 6-3 on page 6-19.
• Check the system error log for additional information before replacing a
component. (See the “Viewing Error Logs” section on page 6-10.)
• The DIMM error LEDs, microprocessor error LEDs, and VRM error LEDs
on the system board go off when the system is powered down.
Table 6-8 provides the diagnostic panel LED error definitions. The third column
lists one or more suggested actions or components that need to be reseated or

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.

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 the temperature on system performance,
follow these guidelines:
• Ensure that the system is operated in an environment no colder than 50° F
(10° C) or hotter than 95° F (35° 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.
B-2 OL-15012-02
• If the system has been exposed to abnormally cold temperatures, allow a

2-hour warm-up period to bring it up to a 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.
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 8 to 80 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 designed to operate at a maximum altitude of 3000 feet
(914.4 meters) and can be stored at a maximum altitude of 7000 feet
(2133 meters).
OL-15012-02 B-3
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.
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:
B-4 OL-15012-02
• 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
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
OL-15012-02 B-5
• 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
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
B-6 OL-15012-02
Using Power Protection Devices
– Teletype machines
– Adding machines
– Laser printers
– Facsimile machines
– Any other motorized equipment
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.

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, page B-7
• Line Conditioners, page B-8
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies, page B-8
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.
OL-15012-02 B-7
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.
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.
