Note

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on standards documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Cisco 5400 Enterprise Network Compute System (ENCS) combines routing, switching, storage, processing, and a host of other computing and networking activities into a compact one Rack Unit (RU) box. This high-performance unit achieves this goal by providing the infrastructure to deploy virtualized network functions while at the same time acting as a server that addresses processing, workload, and storage challenges.

• Integrated LAN ports: There are eight integrated LAN ports. These ports can provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) if you have purchased a model that supports PoE power supply. These ports must only be used for LAN functions.
• Integrated WAN ports: There are 2 to 4 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) WAN ports (dual-mode RJ-45 and SFP). These ports must only be used for WAN functions.

• USB 3.0 port: You can use this port to connect a mouse, keyboard, or any other USB device. Using a USB hub, you can connect more than one USB device to this port. Because this port is backward compatible, you can also use an older version of USB devices on this port.

• VGA connector: You can use this port to connect a monitor to the device. It supports a display resolution of up to 1600 x 1200 16bpp @ 60Hz.

• Ethernet management port for CIMC: Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) is the component in the device that monitors the health of the entire system.

• Ethernet management port for CPU: Use this port to connect to the CPU in your device.

• Front panel Gigabit Ethernet ports: This is a set of two dual ports. For each RJ45 port, there is a corresponding fiber optic port. At a given time, the user can use either the RJ45 connection or the corresponding fiber optic port.

• Serial console port for CPU: This serial port provides a connection to initially configure the main system's CPU, including the NFVIS software that runs there, using a traditional serial terminal. The terminal should be configured for 9600 8-N-1.

• Serial Console port for CIMC: This serial port provides a connection to initially configure the CIMC using a traditional serial terminal. The terminal should be configured for 9600 8-N-1.

Note

The speed and duplex configurations are dependent on the peer configuration. If the peer is set at a certain speed and duplex, NFVIS port is set to match that speed. Not all ports on ENCS 5000 series hardware devices support Automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature. Based on the port connected to the ENCS device, the cable type used to connect to the peer and the speed or duplex settings on the peer, you can try straight through and cross over cable.

LEDs for Gigabit Ethernet WAN Ports

The front panel Gigabit Ethernet WAN ports GE0-0 and GE0-1 (numbered 7 in Figure 1) are a set of two dual ports: for every RJ45 port, there is a corresponding fiber optic port. There are four LEDs for the front panel Gigabit Ethernet ports (numbered 8 in Figure 1). The first two LEDs are for the first set of ports and the last two LEDs are for the second set of ports. If both RJ45 and fiber optic ports are enabled when the system boots, the fiber optic port is used and the RJ45 port is disabled.

The LEDs labeled EN indicates whether the corresponding ports are enabled.

The frequency of the blinks of the LEDs labeled S shows the speed of the corresponding ports. This table maps the blink frequency of a LED to the speed of the corresponding port.

Blink Frequency	Speed
No blink	No link
1 blink	10Mbps
2 blinks	100Mbps
3 blinks	1000Mbps

The replaceable and upgradable units of the Cisco 5400 ENCS are:

• Power supply: The power supply provides AC power. The ENCS5406/K9 device supports only the non-PoE power supply option. This means the LAN ports of this device cannot provide Power over Ethernet (PoE). The ENCS5408/K9 and ENCS5412/K9 devices support both the PoE and non-PoE power supply options. If you want to upgrade from a non-POE power supply to a POE power supply, you can do that by replacing the power supply unit. The reverse is also possible - replacing a POE power supply with a non-POE power supply. The power supply can supply a total of 250 watts of inline power across the 8 PoE capable ports in the system; a maximum of 30 watts of PoE power per port and 60 watts of UPoE power per port.

• Network Interface Module (NIM): You can install a NIM in the NIM slot. Similarly when not needed, you can remove the NIM from the NIM module. The device supports only one NIM at a time. The following NIMs are currently supported:

• Drive bays: There are two drive bays. You can choose to use one of them, both of them, or none of them. The types of storage modules that each of these bays can currently hold are:

  • 480GB 2.5" SATA SSD

  • 960GB 2.5" SATA SSD

  • 1TB 2.5" SATA HDD

  • 2TB 2.5" SATA HDD

  Note	This list shows the storage modules that are currently supported. More types of storage modules may be supported in the future.

• M.2 storage module: This is a high capacity storage component on the motherboard. The OS is installable in this module. The storage capacity of this module is upgradeable. The different storage capacities that are currently available for this module are 64GB, 100GB, 200GB, and 400GB. Other storage capacities might be made available in the future.

• DDR4 DIMM Slots: There are two DDR4 dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slots on the motherboard. Each slot can hold 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB memory module. The memory module in each of the slots can be upgraded to a maximum of 32 GB. As a result, you can have a maximum capacity of 64 GB DIMM.

• RAID Card: The RAID card improves the performance of the hard drive. The RAID card is installed in the Internal Service Processor (ISP) module of the motherboard.

• RMA: Return Material Authorization (RMA) Support allows you to move M.2 SSD, memory, disk drives, RAID card, NIM, and power supply from one system to another system while keeping the configuration and data. This feature is supported of like-to-like systems and the two systems must have the same versions of firmware. In case the two systems do not have the same versions of firmware, you can upgrade the firmware after swapping the hardware components. The following firmware versions are supported in RMA:

  Table 5.

  	firmware compatible case		firmware incompatible case
  	original system	new system	original system	new system
  FPGA	1.6	1.6	1.6	1.4
  BIOS	2.4	2.4	2.4	1.2
  CIMC	3.2.3	3.2.3	3.2.3	3.1.4

The Cisco 5400 ENCS is available in these models:

Note	With the exception of the CPU capacity and the power supply unit, all other hardware features (standard, replaceable and upgradable) are common across all models.

Note	Service spares are chassis with no memory or disk.
