About the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 System
The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 System is a high performance, multi-functional chassis that
supports mix-and-match functionality. This highly configurable and scalable design provides maximum
flexibility for configuring platforms to meet a wide variety of functional and performance application
requirements.
The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 System consists of a number of embedded applications on
blades that are inserted into the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 chassis.
About the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 Chassis
The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 chassis is 3.5" (2U) high and can mount in a 19-inch rack.
The chassis can accommodate a Cisco Cisco Unified Video conferencing 3545 module in each of its four
slots. Each board receives power via the backplane.
There are four slots at the front and rear of the chassis. The front slots are used for the main device
boards. The rear slots are used only by gateway Rear Transition Module (RTM) boards which allow a
connection to the ISDN or serial network.
The chassis provides easy access for maintenance and board replacement.
