CSACS-1121 Series Appliance Overview
The CSACS-1121 Series appliance (see Figure 1 on page 1) is contained in a standard shelf-rack enclosure. The
appliance weighs from 24.25 lb (11.0 kg) to 28.0 lb (12.7 kg). It measures 1.75 inches high x 17.3 inches wide x
22.0 inches deep (44.5 mm x 440.0 mm x 559.0 mm). These dimensions do not include the rack handles.
Figure 1 Cisco 1121 Secure Access Control System Front View
The CSACS-1121 Series appliance is configured for AC-input power and has a single auto-ranging AC-input power
supply, mounted in a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm), 4-post equipment rack (using the rack-mount brackets provided). The
CSACS-1121 features include:
Microprocessor—Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4-GHz processor with an 800-MHz front side bus (FSB) and 2 MB of Layer 2
cache.
Four synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM) slots that are installed with 4 GB.

Cisco Product Identification Tool
The Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool helps you retrieve the serial number of your Cisco products.
Before you submit a request for service online or by phone, use the CPI tool to locate your product serial number. You
can access this tool from the Cisco Support website.
To access this tool:
1. Click the Get Tools & Resources link.
2. Click the All Tools (A-Z) tab.
3. Select Cisco Product Identification Tool from the alphabetical drop-down list.
This tool offers three search options:
Search by product ID or model name.
Browse for Cisco model.
Copy and paste the output of the show command to identify the product.
Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted. Locate the serial
number label on your product and record the information before you place a service call.
You can access the CPI tool at:
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/CPI/index.do
To access the CPI tool, you require a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do
not have a user ID or password, you can register at:
