The Content Engine 500 series offers the following Content Engine models for
high-, medium-, and low-end applications:
Content Engine 590
The Content Engine 590 (CE-590) is a high-end Content Engine that services
Internet service providers and large enterprise networks. The Content Engine sits
on the WAN edge between your large enterprise or service provider network and
the Internet and is designed to handle DS-3 traffic at 45 Mbps speed.
The CE-590 is configured for AC-input power, whereas the CE-590-DC is
configured for DC-input power. The default factory configuration comes with one
power supply installed.
Note For purposes of simplicity, all models of the Content Engine 590 are hereafter
referred to jointly as the CE-590.
The CE-590 has two internal 36-gigabyte (GB) Ultra2 LVD SCSI hard drives and
an external SCSI port for attaching a six-drive Cisco Storage Array that increases
the Content Engine storage capacity by an additional 108 GB (6 x 18 GB).

Functional Description
Table 1-5 lists the storage and memory specifications for the CE-507AV.
Functional Description
Depending on the model you purchased, your Content Engine operates either as a
component of a Content Delivery Network or as a content-caching device.
Content Delivery Network Component
Cisco Content Engines with Cisco CDN software installed are the content
delivery components of a larger Cisco Content Delivery Network (CDN) solution,
which includes content routing, content switching, content distribution and
management, and content services, as well as content delivery. Content Engines
with Cisco CDN software are deployed in conjunction with Content Routers and
Content Distribution Managers to create a complete Content Delivery Network
system.
The CDN solution offers accelerated content delivery, hosting, and other
content-based services. The CDN solution addresses the need to distribute and
receive high-bandwidth, media-rich content across the Internet or an intranet
without performance losses or content delivery delays.
Content Caching Device
Cisco Content Engines with Cisco Cache software installed accelerate content
delivery and optimize bandwidth usage by transparently caching frequently
accessed content and fulfilling content requests locally rather than traversing the

Internet or intranet to a distant server farm each time a request is made. The
Content Engine works in tandem with a router to handle web traffic, including
user requests to view pages and graphics (objects) on World Wide Web
servers—whether internal or external to your network.
To deploy Cisco Content Engines with Cisco Cache software within your existing
network, your network must support Cisco IOS software and the Web Cache
Coordination Protocol (WCCP). WCCP redirects Hypertext Transfer Protocol
(HTTP) traffic to a Content Engine, and the Content Engine responds to those
requests.
For example, when a user requests an object from a web server, the router first
sends the request to a Content Engine. If the Content Engine has a copy of the
requested object in storage, the Content Engine sends the user the object.
Otherwise, the Content Engine simultaneously obtains the requested objects from
the Web server, stores a copy of the objects (caches them), and forwards the
objects on to the user.
By caching web objects in this manner, the Content Engine can speed the
satisfaction of user requests when more than one user wants to access the same
objects. Caching in this manner also reduces the amount of traffic between your
network and the Internet, potentially improving your overall network
performance and optimizing your bandwidth usage.

Cables and Connectors
This section describes the cables and connectors that connect your
Content Engine to a terminal and to the external network.
Console Cable
The Content Engine comes with a console cable kit that includes the following
cable and adapters:
•One RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable
•Two RJ-45 to DB-9 adapters
Use the rollover cable to connect the Content Engine console port to the COM
port of an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software. The
console port on the Content Engine is configured as data terminal equipment
(DTE) and uses an RJ-45 connector.
By attaching an RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter to the rollover cable, you create an RJ-45
to DB-9 null modem cable.

You can identify a rollover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable,
as shown in Figure 1-6. Holding the cable ends in your hands, side by side, with
the tab at the back, the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the left
connector (pin 1) should be the same color as the pin on the outside of the right
connector (pin 8).

Network Cables
An Ethernet cable is required to connect the Content Engine to your network. To
connect the Content Engine to your network, you must use one of the following
types of cables:
•Unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) straight-through cable with RJ-45 connectors
to connect the Content Engine to a Medium Dependent Interface-crossover
(MDI-X) port
•UTP crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors to connect the Content Engine to
another MDI port
