• Check the packing slip to ensure that all the proper components are present.
• Locate and have accessible the Site Log for recording information about this installation.

Tools and Parts

Use the following list of tools and parts as a checklist for preparing to install the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router:

• Disposable ESD-preventative wrist strap
• AC power cord
• Appropriate cables to connect the router to the network and to the console terminal
• Optional tape measure and level
• Screwdrivers: Number 2 Phillips screwdriver and 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
• Grounding lug and wires
• The rack-mount and cable-management kit:

– Four 19-inch rack-mount brackets (front and rear rails) and two cable-management brackets

– Three sets of screws: one set for front rack-mount brackets (black screws), another set for rear rack-mount brackets, and a set for the cable-management brackets (package with four screws)

Prepare for Equipment Shelf

For a equipment shelf installation, verify the following before installing the router:

• The router is off the floor and has adequate ventilation.
• An adequate chassis ground (earth) connection exists for the router.
• The router needs at last 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust vents (sides of router).
• The router needs 19 inches (48.26 cm) of clearance at the front and rear to allow for field-replaceable unit replacement or installation, or to access cables or equipment.
• The shared port adapters are installed. If shared port adapters are not installed, then the slots must not be empty. Use filler panels for an empty slot.

Attach the Rack-Mount Brackets—Chassis Front-Mounted

This section describes how to attache the front rack-mount brackets if necessary, otherwise skip this section. Figure 1 shows the front rack-mount brackets (callout 2) and the rear rack-mount brackets (callout 4) on the Cisco ASR 1013 Router.

To install the Cisco ASR 1013 Router for a front rack-mount configuration, follow these steps:

---

Step 1 Locate the threaded holes in the front sides of the chassis. Make certain that you hold the front rack-mount bracket with the ear and holes facing outward and towards the front of the chassis.

Step 2 Align the rack-mount bracket to the side of the router. Depending on which set of rack-mount bracket holes you choose to use to attach the rack-mount bracket to the router, the chassis will either be recessed in the rack or protrude from the rack.

Step 3 Position the front rack-mount bracket top hole with the chassis first top hole behind the side vent holes.

Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 on the other side of the chassis. Use all the screws to secure the rack-mount brackets to the chassis.

Step 5 Tighten the screws on both side.

Step 6 To install the Cisco ASR 1013 Router in the equipment rack, see “Four-Post Rack Installation” section or “Two-Post Rack Installation” section.

Step 1 Position the chassis so the front is closest to you and lift it carefully into the rack. To prevent injury, avoid any sudden twists or moves.

Step 2 Slide the chassis into the rack, pushing it back until the rack-mount brackets meet the mounting strips or posts on both sides of the rack.

Step 3 Position the chassis until the rack-mounting ears are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.

---

Note To allow space to attach the cable-management brackets to the chassis in the rack easily, make certain that you use the rack-mount bracket ear holes specified in Step 4.

Step 4 Hold the chassis in position against the mounting rails and follow these steps:

a. Insert the bottom screw into the third hole up from the bottom of the rack mount ear and use a hand-held screwdriver to tighten the screw to the rack rail.

b. Insert the top screw into the third hole down from the top of the rack-mount bracket ear and tighten the screw to the rack rail.

c. Insert a screw in the middle of the rack-mount bracket on both sides of the chassis. See Figure 2.

Step 5 Repeat these steps for the other side of the chassis.

---

Note As a result of using the specified rack-mount bracket ear holes, the cable-management bracket can be easily attached to the rack-mount bracket when the chassis is in the rack.

 

This completes the procedure for installing the chassis in a two-post rack. Proceed to the “Attach the Cable-Management Bracket” section to continue the installation.

Attach the Cable-Management Bracket

The cable-management brackets mount to each rack-mount bracket on both sides of the chassis to provide cable-management to both sides of the chassis (parallel with card orientation). These brackets are screw mounted to the rack-mount brackets to allow easy installation and removal of cables.

The cable-management brackets for the Cisco ASR 1013 are used in four places on the chassis. Each section contain four independent cable-management “U” type feature hooks with two screws each. For Cisco ASR 1000-SIPs, these brackets work in tandem with shared port adapter product feature cable-management device to allow installation and removal of adjacent cards without the need to remove cables.

---

Note Make certain that the cable-management bracket “U” type feature is facing upwards when you attach it to the chassis as shown in Figure 4.

Follow these steps to attach the cable-management brackets to both sides of the Cisco ASR 1013 Router in the rack:

---

Step 1 Align the cable-management bracket to the rack-mount bracket on one side of the Cisco ASR 1013 Router. The cable-management bracket aligns to the top hole of the chassis rack-mount bracket.

Step 2 Using a Phillips screwdriver, insert one screw through cable-management bracket and into the chassis rack-mount and tighten the screw.

---

Note Use the package of screws that came with your chassis (two screws for each cable-management bracket).

Step 3 Using the top and bottom rack-mount ear hole, insert the screw through cable-management bracket and into the chassis rack-mount bracket.

Step 4 Using a Phillips screwdriver and the cable-management screw, thread and tighten the screw to the cable-management bracket.

Step 5 Repeat Step 1through Step 4 for the other side of the Cisco ASR 1013 Router.

 

This completes the procedure for installing the cable-management bracket on a Cisco ASR 1013 Router for a rack-mount configuration.

Chassis Ground Connection Installation

Connecting the Cisco ASR 1013 Router chassis to earth ground is required for all DC powered installations and any AC powered installation where compliance with Telcordia grounding requirements is necessary.

---

Have the recommended tools and supplies available before you begin this procedure.

---

Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024

Before you connect power or turn on power to your chassis, you must provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for the chassis. A chassis ground connector is provided on each Cisco ASR 1013 Router. There is a ground stud on the rear bottom of the chassis as shown in Figure 5.

Recommended Tools and Supplies

The following tools, equipment, and supplies necessary to connect the system ground to the chassis:

• Phillips screwdriver
• Dual-lug chassis ground component
• Grounding wire

Attach the Chassis Earth Ground

Use the following procedure to attach the grounding lug to the chassis ground connector on your chassis:

---

Step 1 Use the wire stripper to strip one end of the AWG #6 wire approximately 0.75 inches (19.05 mm).

Step 2 Insert the AWG #6 wire into the wire receptacle on the grounding lug.

Step 3 Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this step is required to ensure a proper mechanical connection.

Step 4 Attach the grounding lug with the wire so that the grounding wire does not overlap the power supply.

Step 5 Locate the chassis ground connector on the bottom rear of the Cisco ASR 1013 chassis.

Figure 5 shows how to attach the earth ground lug on the Cisco ASR 1013 Router.

Figure 5 Attaching the Cisco ASR 1013 Router Ground Connection

 

 

Step 6 Insert the two screws through the holes in the grounding lug as shown in Figure 5.

Step 7 Use the Number 2 Phillips screwdriver to carefully tighten the screws until the grounding lug is held firmly to the chassis. Do not overtighten the screws.

Step 8 Connect the opposite end of the grounding wire to the appropriate grounding point at your site to ensure an adequate chassis ground.

 

This completes the procedure for attaching a chassis ground connection. Go to the “Connect the Router to the Network” section for information on attaching cables.

Console and Auxiliary Port Cable Connections

This section describes how to attach a cable to the console or auxiliary ports on the Cisco ASR 1013 Router. The Cisco ASR 1013 Router has two RJ-45 ports for terminal connection on each Route Processer installed. A console port, which can be utilized for terminal connections and an auxiliary port for additional terminal connections as well as diagnostic utilization.

---

Note Both the console and the auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these ports must be capable of asynchronous transmission.

---

Step 1 Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the router console port as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits. See Figure 6 for console and auxiliary port connector location.

---

Note For information about how to change the default settings to meet the requirements of your terminal or host, refer to the Cisco IOS Terminal Services Configuration Guide.

Step 2 Connect a terminal or PC to the console port using the cable and adapters provided in the accessory kit that shipped with your Cisco ASR 1013 Router:

– Place the console port mode switch in the in position (factory default).

– Connect to the port using the RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable and RJ-45-to-DB-25 DTE adapter or using the RJ-45-to-DB-9 DTE adapter.

Step 3 Insert an Ethernet RJ-45 cable into the MGMT ETHERNET port.

Step 4 Insert the other end of the RJ-45 cable to your management device or network.

Step 5 Configure to a fixed speed through the command line interface (CLI) commands.

 

Connect the Shared Port Adapter Cables

The instructions for connecting the cables for the shared port adapter installed in the Cisco ASR 1013 Router are contained in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers SIP and SPA Hardware Installation Guide.

Using the Cable-Management Brackets

The cable-management brackets mount to each rack-mount bracket on the chassis to provide cable-management to both sides of the chassis (parallel with card orientation). These brackets are screw mounted to the rack-mount brackets to allow easy installation and removal of cables.

The cable-management brackets for the Cisco ASR 1013 are used in four places on the chassis. Each section contain four independent cable-management “U” type feature hooks with two screws each. For Cisco ASR 1000 SIPs, these brackets work in tandem with shared port adapter product feature cable-management device to allow installation and removal of adjacent cards without the need to remove cables.

---

Note Make certain that the cable-management bracket “U” type feature is facing upwards when you attach it to the chassis.

Connecting AC-Input Power to the Cisco ASR 1013 Router

Follow these steps to connect an AC-input power supply to the Cisco 1013 chassis:

---

Step 1 At the rear of the chassis, check that the power switch on the power supply is in the Standby position.

Step 2 Plug the power cable into the inlet.

Figure 8 shows the Cisco ASR 1013 Router DC power supply and labels.

Figure 8 Cisco ASR 1013 Router DC Power Supply

 

Before you install the DC-input power supply in the Cisco ASR1013 router, read these important notices:

• The color coding of the DC-input power supply leads depends on the color coding of the DC power source at your site. Typically, green or green/yellow is used for ground (GND), black is used for -48V on negative (–) terminal and red is used for RTN on the positive (+) terminal. Make certain the lead color coding you choose for the DC-input power supply matches lead color coding used at the DC power source.
• Shielded cables must be used to connect to the DB-25 alarm connector on both the AC and DC power supplies, in order to comply with FCC/EN55022/CISPR22 Class A emissions requirements.
• For DC input power cables, select the appropriate wire gauge based on the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes for 40-amp service at nominal DC input voltage (–48/–60 VDC). Three pairs of cable leads, source DC (–) and source DC return (+), are required for each power distribution unit (PDU). These cables are available from any commercial cable vendor. All input power cables for the chassis should have the same wire gauge and cable lengths should match within 10 percent of deviation. Each DC input power cable is terminated at the PDU by a cable lug. The cable lugs must be dual-hole, and have a straight tongue. They must be able to fit over 1/4-inch terminal studs at 0.625-inch (15.88-mm) centers.

---

Note DC input power cables must be connected to the PDU terminal studs in the proper positive (+) and negative (–) polarity. In some cases, the DC cable leads are labeled, which is a relatively safe indication of the polarity. However, you must verify the polarity by measuring the voltage between the DC cable leads. When making the measurement, the positive (+) lead and the negative (–) lead must always match the (+) and (–) labels on the power distribution unit.

• An earth ground cable is required for each DC PDU. We recommend that you use at least 6-AWG multistrand copper wire. This wire is not available from Cisco Systems; it is available from any commercial cable vendor. The ground wire cable lug should be dual-hole and able to fit over M6 terminal studs at 0.625 inch (15.88mm) centers. Recommended lug terminal wire size Panduit part number:

– LCD8-14A-L for 8AWG wire size

– LCD6-14A-L for 6AWG wire size

Figure 9 Cisco ASR 1013 Router DC Input Power Cable Lug

 

---

Note To avoid hazardous conditions, all components in the area where DC input power is accessible must be properly insulated. Therefore, before installing the DC cable lugs, be sure to insulate the lugs according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

---

Warning When you install the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Statement 1046

Installing the Cisco ASR 1013 Router DC Power Supply and Ground Lug

To install the grounding lugs on the DC power supply, follow these instructions. Figure 10 shows the location of the DC power supply grounding stud.

---

Step 1 Make certain that the chassis ground is connected before you begin installing the DC power supply.

Step 2 Locate the stud on the DC power supply for the GND connection which must be connected first and follow these steps:

a. Using the grounding lug, replace the washers and Kepnut screw in the following order.

- Flat washer

- Grounding cable lug

- Kepnut screw

b. Tighten the Kepnut screws on the power supply studs.

Step 3 Tighten the Kepnut screw (use the screwdriver to tighten the ground screw in the terminal block to a torque of 20+/–2 in-lbs / 2 per.) to complete the installation.

Figure 10 Cisco ASR 1013 Router DC Power Supply Ground Stud and Cable Installation

 

---

Note Shielded cables must be used to connect to the DB-25 alarm connector on both the AC and DC power supplies in order to comply with FCC/EN55022/CISPR22 Class A emissions requirements.

Step 4 Attach the other end of the cable to the site’s ground connection.

Step 5 Remove the plastic cover from the terminal block.

---

Step 6 You must wrap the positive and negative lead cables with sleeving. Take each lead wire and cover the area from the lug to the wire with heavy shrink sleeving (see Figure 11, callout #3). Ground the other end of the grounding wires to an appropriate grounding point at your site.

Figure 11 Cisco ASR 1013 Router DC Power Supply Ground Stud and Cable

 

Step 7 Repeat these steps on the second DC power supply.

Step 8 For easier cable-management, insert the negative lead cable first. Replace the ground lug with cable in the following order:

a. Flat Washer

b. Ground lug with negative wire

c. Kepnut screw

Step 9 Tighten the Kepnut screw to recommended torque of 18 in-lbs minimum to 22 in-lbs maximum for the positive stud and wire.

---

Note Secure the wires coming in from the terminal block so that they cannot be disturbed by casual contact.

Step 10 Use tie wraps to secure the wires, so that the wires are not pulled from the terminal block by casual contact. Ti-wrap studs are located below the power supply terminal block (see Figure 11).

Step 11 Replace the terminal block plastic cover and tighten the screw. The plastic cover is slotted and keyed to fit correctly over the terminal block.

Step 12 Remove the tape from the circuit-breaker switch handle and move the circuit-breaker handle to the on position.

 

---

Note The requirement for maximum torque applied to the power or ground Kepnuts must be 8 in-lb when the power or ground lug is not present.

This completes the procedure for connecting DC-input power. Your installation is complete. Proceed to the “Verifying Power Supply Operation” section to start the router.

Verifying Power Supply Operation

Follow this procedure to verify power supply is operating correctly in your Cisco ASR 1013 router.

---

Step 1 Check that the power supply LEDs are:

• INPUT OK is green
• FAN OK is green
• OUTPUT FAILED is not illuminated

Step 2 To ensure that the power supply state is OK, type the show platform command. This output is only a sample from one of the Cisco ASR 1000 routers.

The following output displays:

F0	08041102	12.2(33r)XN2

If the LEDs indicate a power problem or the power supply state is ps, fail, then contact a customer service representatives for assistance or additional instructions.

 

Start the System

After installing your Cisco ASR 1013 Router and connecting cables, start the router as follows.

---

Step 1 Check for the following:

• Make certain that each shared port adapter is firmly seated in its subslot and its captive screws are securely tightened.
• The Cisco ASR1000-ESP40 embedded services processors in the Cisco ASR 1013 router are inserted in slot F0 and F1, is firmly seated in its slot, and its captive screws are securely tightened.
• All network interface cables are connected.
• The console terminal is turned on.

Step 2 Turn on power. The green OK LED on the power supply turns on.

---

Note The Cisco ASR 1013 Router has four power supplies and two power supply zones. There are two power supplies for power zone 0 and two power supplies for power zone 1 (Do not mix AC and DC power supplies). The two zones are split up with the numbering scheme Zone 0 = PS0 and PS1 and for Zone 1 = PS2 and PS3. You must have one power supply running at all times from each power supply zone and two power supplies from each power supply zone to support redundancy. Four power supplies, either AC power supplies or DC power supplies, are accessed from the rear of the router. In the Cisco ASR 1013 Router, at least one PEM in each 1+1 redundant power supply zone must be functioning to power the zone and both zones be functional. In the event of a single fan failure, the remaining fans are sufficient to cool the entire chassis although fan speed may have to be increased. For detailed information regarding power supply zones, refer to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Hardware Installation Guide.

Step 3 Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating.

Step 4 During the boot process, observe the power LEDs. The power LED should be green on all boards. The Status LED lights yellow to indicate booting and then green when IOS is running.

Table 1 provides information about the LEDs as the system starts.

Table 1 Cisco ASR 1013 Router LED Activity

 

During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. The STAT LED comes on immediately as yellow, then turns to green when the Cisco IOS is booted. The shared port adapter LEDs go on and off irregularly.

---

Note The system boots differently depending on the configuration that ships with your system. This output is only an example of some output that can display.

Step 5 Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (a few seconds), the Cisco ASR 1000 Series route processor begins to initialize. The console screen displays a script and system banner similar to the following:

During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. The LEDs on the shared port adapter go on and off in irregular sequence. They may go on, go out, and go on again for a short time. On the router, the green STATUS LED comes on and stays on. For software configuration information, see the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Software Configuration Guide.

 

Using the Console Interface

To access the command-line interface using the console, follow these steps:

---

Step 1 Once the terminal console port is connected, configure your terminal emulation software with valid settings. Start at the following prompt:

Press Return for Console prompt

Step 2 Press Return to enter user EXEC configuration mode. The following prompt appears:

Router>

Step 3 From user EXEC configuration mode, enter the enable command as shown in the following example:

Router> enable

Step 4 At the password prompt, enter your system’s password. If an enable password has not been set on your system, this step may be skipped. The following example shows entry of the password called enablepass :

Password: enablepass

Step 5 When your enable password is accepted, the privileged EXEC configuration mode prompt appears:

Router#

Step 6 You now have access to the CLI in privileged EXEC configuration mode and you can enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks.

Step 7 To exit the console session, enter the quit command as shown in the following example:

Router# quit

 

Configure Global Parameters Using the Setup Facility

When you first start the setup program, you must configure the global parameters. These parameters are used for controlling system-wide settings. Complete the following steps to enter the global parameters:

---

Step 1 Connect a console terminal to the console port and then boot the router. The system boots from flash memory. The following information appears after about 30 seconds. This is only an example of the output display; prompts may vary.

Step 2 The first sections of the configuration script appear only at an initial system startup. On subsequent uses of the setup facility, the script begins with a System Configuration Dialog as shown below: When asked if you would like to enter the initial configuration dialog, enter yes.

---

Note Basic management setup configures enough connectivity for managing the system; extended setup will ask you to configure each interface on the system. For detailed information about setting global parameters, refer to the Cisco ASR 1000_Series Aggregation Services Routers Software Configuration Guide.

 

Check the Running Configuration Settings

To check the value of the settings you have entered, enter the show running-config command at the Router# prompt:

To review changes you make to the configuration, use the EXEC mode show startup-config command to see the changes in NVRAM.

Save the Running Configuration to NVRAM

To store the configuration or changes to your startup configuration in NVRAM, use the copy running-config startup-config command to save your configuration changes to the startup configuration so that the changes will not be lost if the software reloads or a power outage occurs. For example:

Router# copy running-config startup-config

Building configuration...

It might take a minute or two to save the configuration. After the configuration has been saved, the following output appears:

On most platforms, this task saves the configuration to NVRAM. On the Class A Flash file system platforms, this task saves the configuration to the location specified by the CONFIG_FILE environment variable. The CONFIG_FILE variable defaults to NVRAM.

To review changes you make to the configuration, use the EXEC mode show startup-config command to see the changes.

---

Note Using the copy running-config startup-config command saves the configuration settings that you created in the router using configuration mode and the setup facility. If you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.

Install and Remove the Shared Port Adapter

This section provides instructions for installing and removing a shared port adapter in a SIP Each SPA circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.

---

When a subslot is not in use, a SPA blank filler plate must fill the empty subslot to allow the router or switch to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow across the SPAs. If you plan to install a SPA in a subslot that is not in use, you must first remove the SPA blank filler plate.

Figure 14 Handling a SPA

 

To install a shared port adapter into a SPA interface processor (SIP), follow these steps:

---

Step 1 Before you begin, make certain the chassis is grounded.

Step 2 To insert the SPA in the SIP, locate the guide rails inside the SIP that hold the SPA in place. They are at the top left and top right of the SPA slot and are recessed about an inch.

Step 3 Carefully slide the SPA all the way in the SIP until the SPA is firmly seated in the SPA interface connector. When fully seated, the SPA might be slightly behind the SIP faceplate. See Figure 15.

Figure 15 Installing and Removing a SPA Into and From a SIP

 

Step 4 After the SPA is properly seated, fasten the SPA in place with the captive installation screws on either side of the SPA.

 

---

Note The shared port adapter ships installed. These instructions are provided for future use. Cabling information is included with the specific shared port adapter documentation.

---

Step 1 Attach an ESD wrist strap between you and an unpainted chassis surface.

Step 2 If attached, remove any cables from the SPA.

Step 3 Before removing any shared port adapter, shut down the interface so that there is no traffic running through the shared port adapter when it is removed.

---

Note Removing a shared port adapter while traffic is flowing through the ports can cause system disruption.

Step 4 Remove the shared port adapter from the chassis slot. Unfasten the captive installation screws on either side of the SPA.

Step 5 Grasp the handle and pull the shared port adapter or blank shared port adapter from the router.
