Not Just Remanufactured. Cisco Certified Remanufactured.
When you purchase Cisco Refresh, you're getting the same performance and peace of mind as when you buy new Cisco equipment. This peace of mind is earned through Cisco’s adherence to ISO 9001/14001 certified, comprehensive, and proprietary remanufacturing process and is backed by the same Cisco warranty and support options as equivalent new equipment.
These are the steps we take to remanufacture pre-owned equipment:
-
Inspection: Each unit is subjected to a thorough screening and physical inspection.
-
Upgrades: The serial number of each unit is checked against the Cisco database to determine if critical Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) apply. Critical software and hardware upgrades are performed in compliance with ECOs.
-
Restoration of default configuration: Any previous configuration and customer data is removed, and the unit is returned to its default settings. Previous owner information recorded on Cisco databases is also erased.
-
Testing: To help ensure quality, a comprehensive set of diagnostic, functional, network traffic, and system tests are performed. Burn-in and/or thermal cycling tests are performed, as applicable.
-
Repair: Units failing any inspection and testing are repaired to Cisco factory specifications, with the faulty components and boards replaced as applicable. The units are then subjected again to functional status, network traffic system, burn-in, and thermal cycling tests as applicable.
-
Software: A licensed copy of the IOS® software is installed to help ensure maximum performance and network compatibility.
-
Cleaning: Each unit is cleaned and detailed. Old labels are removed and new labels applied. New fasteners and panels are installed as appropriate. Casings are cleaned, touched up, or repainted as applicable.
-
Packaging: Units are carefully wrapped, placed in a new protective shipping box, and sealed in preparation for delivery.
