Step 3 Insert and tighten the screws. After the bracket is secured to the side of the chassis, slide the two remaining components into the side rack-mount bracket.

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

 

This completes the procedure for attaching rear rack-mount brackets to the chassis. Continue on to installing the chassis in a rack.

Four-Post Rack Installation

This section describes the types of racks used for rack-mounting the chassis.

Figure 3 Installing the Cisco ASR 1004 Router in a Four-Post Rack

 

---

Note Because the rack-mount brackets support the weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use all screws to fasten the two rack-mount brackets on the chassis to the rack posts.

---

Note We recommend that you allow at least 1 or 2 inches (2.54 or 5.08 cm) of vertical clearance between the router and any equipment directly above and below it.

To install the chassis in the rack, complete the following steps:

---

Step 1 Make sure the rack brakes are locked or the rack is stabilized. Mount the chassis by securing the rack-mount brackets to two posts or mounting strips in the rack using the screws provided.

Step 2 On the chassis, ensure that all screw fasteners on the installed components are securely tighten.

Step 3 Make sure that your path to the rack is unobstructed. If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or that the rack is otherwise stabilized. See the next sections on the types of racks you can use to install the chassis.

Step 4 (Optional) Install a shelf in the rack to support the Cisco ASR 1004 Router.

Step 5 Lift the chassis into position between the rack posts (requires two people).

Step 6 Align the mounting bracket holes with the rack post holes and attach the chassis to the rack. At this point, if there is a third person, then that person can insert the screws while the other two people hold that chassis in place, unless the chassis is resting on a shelf.

Step 7 Position the chassis until the rack-mounting flanges 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 the next steps.

Step 8 Hold the chassis in position against the mounting rails and follow these steps:

---

Tip Insert the bottom screw first and then the second screw at the top of the chassis diagonally from the bottom screw. This helps secure the chassis in place while you insert the other screws.

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 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.

d. 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 the four-post rack. Proceed to the “Attach the Cable-Management Bracket” section to continue the installation.

Two-Post Rack Installation

The Cisco ASR 1004 Router can be installed in a two-post rack, either 19 inch or 23 inch.

---

Note Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 19 inches (48.26 cm). The height of the chassis is 1.73 inches (4.39 cm). Airflow through the chassis is from front to back.

---

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 With at least two people, slide the chassis into the rack, pushing it back until the brackets meet the mounting strips or posts on both sides of the rack.

Step 3 Position the chassis until the rack-mounting flanges 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 the next steps.

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 (see Figure 4).

---

Tip Insert the bottom screw first and then the second screw at the top of the chassis diagonally from the bottom screw. This helps secure the chassis in place while you insert the other screws.

b. Insert the top screw into the third hole down from the top of the rack mount 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.

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 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 1004 Router contain three independent cable management “U” type features with four screws and provides cable dressing of each card module slots. For the ASR 1000 Series SPA interface, 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.

Follow these steps to attach the cable-management brackets to both sides of the Cisco ASR 1004 Router in the rack:

---

Step 1 Align the cable-management bracket to the rack-mount bracket on one side of the Cisco ASR 1004 Router. The cable management bracket aligns to the top hole of the chassis rack-mount bracket.

Step 2 Using a Phillips screwdriver, insert the 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 containing four screws (two for each bracket).

Step 3 Using the bottom rack-mount ear hole, insert the screw through cable-management bracket and into the chassis rack-mount (see Figure 5). Figure 4 shows the cable-management brackets attached to the chassis in a rack.

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

Step 5 Repeat steps one through four for the other side of the Cisco ASR 1004 Router.

 

This completes the procedure for installing the cable-management bracket on a Cisco ASR 1004 Router for a front rack-mount configuration.

Chassis Ground Connection Installation

Before you connect power or turn on power to your router, you must provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for the chassis ground connectors are provided on each Cisco ASR 1004 Router. The chassis ground connector is located on the side of the Cisco ASR 1004 Router.

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

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

Figure 6 shows the location of the dual ground lug on the rear of the of Cisco ASR 1004 Router.

Figure 6 Chassis Ground Lug Location on the Cisco ASR 1004 Router

 

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 on the left to avoid having the grounding wire overlapping the power supply. Figure 7 shows how to attach the grounding screws.

Figure 7 Attaching a Grounding Lug to the Cisco ASR 1004 Router Chassis Ground Connector

 

Step 5 Locate the chassis ground connector on the side of your chassis.

Step 6 Insert the two screws through the holes in the grounding lug.

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 1004 Router. The Cisco ASR 1004 Router has two RJ-45 ports for terminal connection. 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.

Figure 8 Cisco ASR1000 Route Processor Console and Auxiliary Port Connectors

 

Step 2 After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.

 

---

Note For console and auxiliary port pinouts, see Appendix A in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Hardware Installation and Initial Configuration Guide.

Management Ethernet Port Cable Connection

Before you can use the console interface on the router using a terminal or PC, you must perform the following steps:

---

Step 1 Configure your terminal emulation software with the following settings:

• 9600 bits per second (bps)
• 8 data bits
• No parity
• 1 stop bit
• No flow control

---

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 one of the following methods:

a. To connect to the console port using the cable and adapters provided in the accessory kit that shipped with your Cisco ASR 1000 Series 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.

Figure 9 Cisco ASR1000 Route Processor ENET Management Port Connector

 

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 1004 Router are contained in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers SPA and SIP Hardware Installation Guide. The Cisco ASR 1004 Router supports Cisco ASR1000-SIP10, Cisco ASR1000-SIP20, and Cisco ASR1000-SIP40.

Install Cables in the Cable-Management Bracket

No specific card level cable management will be provided on the SIP carrier cards. SPAs utilize the SPA cable management brackets that are provided with each SPA as part of their accessory kits. Cables coming off the front side of the SPAs and SIPs utilize the chassis level cable management brackets provided on the chassis rack mount brackets (see Figure 9).

To secure shared port adapter interface cables and input or output cables connected to the Cisco ASR 1004 Router, follow these steps:

---

Step 1 When installing the network interface cables, route the cables up to and through the cable-management bracket ‘U’ device. If you are using very thin cables that slip through the bracket openings, insert nylon cable ties through the holes in the bracket and wrap them around the cables to secure them.

Step 2 Route the excess cable out through either end of the bracket, coil it, and secure it to the rack using nylon cable ties or some other mode of attachment.

Step 3 It might be necessary to bundle longer cables to avoid tangling them. Do this at the cable-management bracket or at the rack, but leave enough slack in the cables to remove processor modules and change cables as required. Also, do not block the power supply air vents with cables.

 

This completes the procedure for installing the cables using the cable-management bracket.

 

Proceed to the “Start the System” section to complete the installation.

Connect AC Power to the Router

This completes the procedure for connecting AC-input power.

Connect DC Power to the Router

This section provides instructions for installing the DC power supply into the Cisco ASR 1004 Router. Read the safety warnings and important notices before you begin.

---

Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074

---

Warning Never install an AC power module and a DC power module in the same chassis. Statement 1050

---

Warning When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Statement 1046

---

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

---

Warning This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to de-energize the unit. Statement 1028

---

Warning This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that the protective device is rated not greater than: AC power supplies 20 A and DC power supplies 40 A. Statement 1005

Before you begin, 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.
• For DC input power cables, select the appropriate wire gauge based on the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes for 60-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 45-degree angle tongue. They must be able to fit over #10 power terminal stud.

---

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 PDU.

• 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.

---

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.

The Cisco ASR1004 has two of the same type power supplies in power supply Slot 0 and power supply Slot 1.

---

---

Obtain these necessary tools and equipment:

• Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
• A 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver

Installing the DC Ground Lugs

To install the grounding lugs on the DC power supply, follow these instructions. Figure 11 shows the location of the DC power supply grounding stud.

Figure 11 DC Power Supply Grounding Stud Location and Connection on the Cisco ASR 1004 Router

 

---

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

Step 2 Locate the ground stud on the DC power supply for the GND connection which must be installed first and replace the ground stud components in the following order:

b. Washer

c. Grounding lug with wire

d. Kepnut screw

Step 3 Tighten the Kepnut screw to complete the installation. Figure 11 shows the installed DC power supply ground stud.

Step 4 Ground the other end of the grounding wires to an appropriate grounding point at your site.

Step 5 Repeat Steps 2 through Step 4 on the second DC power supply.

 

Wiring the DC-Input Power Source

---

Note 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) on the power supply. Negative –48V black is 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.

---

Step 1 Make sure the power switch circuit breaker is in the Off position.

Step 2 Locate and remove the plastic cover from the terminal block.

Figure 12 Cisco ASR 1004 Router DC Power Supply Terminal Block

 

---

Step 3 You must wrap the positive and negative cables with sleeving. Take each ground wire and cover the area from the lug to the wire with heavy shrink sleeving.

Step 4 Insert the positive and negative cables. Replace the ground lug with cable in the following order:

a. Ground lug with negative wire

b. Washer

c. Kepnut screw

Step 5 Tighten the Kepnut screw and repeat the same steps for the positive ground stud and wire.

Step 6 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 7 Use tie wraps to secure the wires, so that the wires are not pulled from the terminal block by casual contact. The DC power supply has tie-wrap tabs to aid in securing the wires. Make sure the tie wrap allows for some slack in the ground wire.

Step 8 Connect the other ends of the terminal block cables to the site ground connection. Move the circuit-breaker switch to the On position (|).

 

This completes the procedure for connecting DC-input power. Your installation is complete. Proceed to the “Start the System” section to start the router.

---

Note After powering off the router, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before powering it on again.

Note 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 and copy run-start stored 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:

[OK]

Router#

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.
