The Cisco Application Runtime Engine (SKU NME-APPRE-522-K9) is a network module for 3800 series routers that provides 2GB RAM and a 160GB HDD to host applications directly on the router.
The NME-APPRE-522-K9 is compatible with Cisco 3800 series routers featuring NM Expansion (NME) slots, such as the Cisco 3825 and 3845 models.
This module offers 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 160GB SATA HDD, and standard interface connectors, specifically designed for Cisco 3800 platforms.
By offloading application processing from the main router CPU to the dedicated runtime engine, it frees router resources and enhances overall network throughput.
Power down the router, slide the module into an available NME slot, secure it with the retention screw, power on, and verify installation with the 'show platform hardware' command.
No, the NME-APPRE-522-K9 is not hot-swappable and requires the router to be powered off before installation or removal.
Yes, you must have a valid Cisco IOS image and the appropriate Cisco Application Environment (IOx) license to enable the runtime engine on your router.
Cisco IOS 15.x and later versions that include IOx support fully accommodate the NME-APPRE-522-K9’s application hosting capabilities.
No, the 2GB RAM and 160GB HDD are factory-configured and not user-upgradeable.
Use the 'show platform hardware' and 'show iox services' CLI commands to confirm the module status and running application instances.
Reseat the module, confirm IOS compatibility, verify slot status in the CLI, and upgrade to the recommended IOS version if needed.
Order through Cisco or authorized partners using SKU NME-APPRE-522-K9 and reference your Cisco service contract for warranty or exchange options.
The module is backed by Cisco’s standard one-year limited hardware warranty with optional extended support via Cisco SMARTnet.
The NME-APPRE-522-K9 supports Cisco IOx and container-based applications, including Docker containers and custom VMs.
Use Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco IOx Manager, or the built-in CLI 'show iox application' commands for real-time monitoring.
