When WAAS software is installed, the WAE appliance can function as either a
Central Manager or as an Application Acceleration Engine. When ACNS software
is installed, the WAE appliance functions as a Content Engine or one of the other
ACNS device modes (Content Router or Content Distribution Manager). When
WAFS software is installed, the WAE appliance functions as a File Engine. (See

The WAE-7326 has a baseboard management controller that provides
environmental monitoring for the appliance. If environmental conditions exceed
thresholds or if system components fail, LEDs on the baseboard management
indicate the problem. The error log also lists all critical errors. The baseboard
management controller also provides remote server management capabilities
through the OSA SMBridge management utility program.
Note The baseboard management controller is also known as the service processor.
