Yeah...the original 5800s were shipped with pairs of 7206 "router shelves" 
and relatively whimpy NPEs (150 or 200 I think).  There was also a time 
when they tried supporting both halves of the 5800 dial shelf using a 
single NPE300 router shelf...but the one we got in that configuration 
never ran very long between crashes and got downgraded to a dual router 
shelf config.

This is just cisco's way of reminding you "time to buy some more 
hardware...like a shiney new NPE400 or better).

BTW...anyone want some AS5800 dial shelves?  They make nice end tables or 
space heaters if you have a big enough 48v feed handy.
