Management Switch Card
The IES-5000 accommodates a management switch card that switches traffic and forwards it
between the DSL line cards and other Ethernet switches.
Hot Swappable Fan Module
The IES-5000 is equipped with a hot swappable fan module with a filter to provide easy
maintenance, greater reliability and increased system operating lifetimes.
Power Modules
The IES-5000 has dual, hot swappable power modules. One power module is redundant. The
IES-5000 can be fully powered by just one power module so the system can keep running
while you replace a power module.
Scalable Platform for Future Expansion
The flexible design of the IES-5000 allows service providers to start with minimum cost. As
the number of users and applications increases, additional DSL line cards can be added to
support more subscribers.
