Safety Precautions

Observe the following general safety precautions and recommendations in planning the source power requirements for the Cisco ASR 901 router (for additional safety information, see the "Safety Guidelines" section:

Check the power at your site before router installation (and periodically after installation) to ensure clean power (free of spikes and noise) is being received.

Always disconnect the power source and unplug the power cable before working on the router.

Install proper grounding for the site to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.


Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 1021

Warning There is the danger of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Statement 1015

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

Environmental Monitoring Temperature Sensor

The Cisco ASR 901 router has a temperature sensor to detect overtemperature conditions inside the chassis. The overtemperature detection trips at 70°C. This condition is reported to the processor as an interrupt, where the software generates the appropriate alarms. If the router reaches a temperature of 85°C, the power supply cycles itself to prevent the router from exceeding the maximum temperature while being powered up.

Power Module

The Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf is available in three variations based on the power module:

Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf with an AC power module for ANSI and ETSI standards

Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf with a DC power module (48 V) for ANSI standard

Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf with a DC power module (48 V) for ETSI standard


Note Do not remove the top cover of the Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf.


Cisco ASR 9000v Satellite Shelf with an AC Power Module

The AC power module converts the AC input current to DC output current. The AC power module has one AC single phase with 3- pole (line L, Neutral N, and Protective Earth PE) input connector.

Cisco ASR 9000v Satellite Shelf with a DC Power Module

The Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf with a DC power module can be powered by redundant DC power lines, however a single power line can power the entire Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf.

The Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf with DC power module for ETSI standard has two input battery connectors (two poles)— -48V, RET for power terminals A and B.

The Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf with DC power module for ANSI standard has single terminal block with four poles— -48V, RET for power terminals A and B.

Fan-Tray Assembly

The fan-tray assembly is preinstalled on the right side of the Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf. The fan-tray assembly is removable and holds fans and fan-control circuitry for the Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf. The fan-tray assembly should be accessed only if a fan failure occurs.

The fan-tray assembly has the following ports:

EOBC (Ethernet Out-of-Band Channel)—An RJ-45 port that supports high bandwidth external connectivity. If the Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf fails to boot up, the EOBC port also called as the disaster recovery port is used to log in to the Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf for troubleshooting.


Note The EOBC port is meant only for TAC (Technical Assistance Center) usage.


PPS (Pulse Per Second)—A mini BNC output port that provides timing signals to an external equipment from the Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf.

10MH—A mini BNC output port that provides timing signals at a frequency of 10 MHz to an external equipment from the Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf and RET for power terminals A and B.

ToD/PPS (Time of Day/Pulse Per Second)—An RJ-45 serial output port that provides time and day information and timing signals to an external equipment from the Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf.

CONSOLE—A USB port that is used to connect a console terminal. The console terminal can be one of the following:

An ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software

A modem

The following figure shows the ports on the fan-tray assembly:

Figure C-24 Ports on the Fan-Tray Assembly


Note The timing signals are compliant with the IEEE 1588 standard.


The console port provides access to the Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf either locally (using a console terminal), or remotely (using a modem). Console connections transmit at slower speeds than modems; therefore, the console connection is suited for use with console terminals.


Note An RJ-45 serial port is used for TOD/PPS functionality. The two RJ-45 pins 7 and 8 is used for TOD (Time Of Day) functionality and the other two RJ-45 pins 1 and 2 are used for PPS functionality. Even though an RJ-45 cable is used for TOD/PPS connection, a serial link is established. Two mini coax connectors with RG316 1.0/2.3 M/M cables (50 ohm) are used for PPS (Pulse Per Second) and for 10MHz sinusoidal signal. Cable for TOD/PPS and 10MHz shall be shielded.



Note For rules about provisioning timing references, see Telcordia SR-NWT-002224.


Fan Speed

Fan speed is controlled by the microprocessor present in the Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf. The sensors measure the critical component temperature of the Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf. Fan speed options are low, medium, and high.

Fan Failure

If one or more fans fail on the fan-tray assembly, replace the entire assembly. You cannot replace individual fans. The red Fan Fail LED on the front of the Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf illuminates when one or more fans fail. The red Fan Fail LED clears after you install a working fan-tray.

Never touch un-insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line is disconnected at the network interface.

When installing or modifying telephone lines, use caution.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD can occur when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled, and can cause complete or intermittent failures. When removing and replacing modules, always follow ESD prevention procedures:

Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.

Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. To channel unwanted ESD voltages safely to ground, connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.

If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.


Caution For the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic wrist strap. It should be between 1 and 10 Mohm.

Prerequisites

Before installing the Cisco ASR 901 router, it is important to prepare for installation by:

Preparing the site (site planning) and reviewing the installation plans or method of procedures (MOPs).

Unpacking and inspecting the Cisco ASR 901 router.

Gathering tools and test equipment required to properly install the Cisco ASR 901 router.

Site Planning

Ideally, you should have prepared the installation site beforehand. As part of your preparation, obtain a floor plan of the site and the equipment rack where the Cisco ASR 901 router would be housed. Determine the location of any existing routers and their interconnections, including communications and power. Following the air flow guidelines (see the "Air Flow Guidelines" section), ensure that adequate cooling air is provided to the router.

All personnel involved in the installation of the router including installers, engineers, and supervisors should participate in the preparation of a Method of Procedure (MOP) for approval by the customer.

Power Supply Considerations

Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving clean power (free of spikes and noise). Install a power conditioner if necessary (see the Power Supply for power requirements).


Warning This equipment is designed for connection to TN and IT power systems. Statement 16

Site Environment

Install the Cisco ASR 901 router in an equipment rack. The location of your router and the layout of your equipment rack, or wiring room are extremely important considerations for proper operation. Cramped equipment, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause malfunctions and shutdown, and can make maintenance difficult. Plan to access the front and rear panels of the router.

Take the following precautions for an acceptable operating environment for your router and to avoid environmentally caused equipment failures:

Ensure that the room where your router operates has adequate air circulation. Electrical equipment generates heat. Without adequate circulation, ambient air temperature may not cool the equipment to acceptable operating temperatures.

Always follow ESD-prevention procedures described in the "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage" section to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.

Air Flow Guidelines

To ensure adequate air flow through the equipment rack, we recommend that you maintain a clearance of at least 6 inches (15.24 cm) on each side of the rack at all times.


Caution If air flow through the equipment rack and the routers that occupy it is blocked or restricted, or if the ambient air being drawn into the rack is too warm, an over temperature condition can occur within the rack and the routers that occupy it.

The site should also be as dust-free as possible. Dust tends to clog the router fans, reducing the flow of cooling air through the equipment rack and the routers. Thus, increasing the risk of an over temperature condition.

Use the following guidelines to plan your equipment rack configuration:

Mount the Cisco ASR 901 router in a 19-inch rack (with a 17.5- or 17.75-inch opening).

Beside air flow, you must allow clearance around the rack for maintenance.

Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not congested, because each router generates heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air. Heat that is generated by equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports of the equipment above.

When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not block the intakes or (on the left side of the chassis) or the exhaust (on the right side of the chassis).

When a rack-installed equipment fails, especially equipment in an enclosed rack, try making the equipment operate by itself, if possible. Power off other equipment in the rack (and in adjacent racks) to give the router a maximum of cooling air and clean power.

Method of Procedure

Part of site preparation includes reviewing installation plans or method of procedures (MOPs). An example of a MOP that includes pre-installation checklist of tasks, considerations to address and agree upon before proceeding with the installation, is as follows:

1. Read this hardware installation guide.

2. Assign personnel.

3. Determine protection requirements for personnel, equipment, and tools.

4. Evaluate potential hazards that may affect service.

5. Schedule time for installation.

6. Determine space requirements.

7. Determine power requirements.

8. Identify required procedures or tests.

9. On an equipment plan, make a preliminary decision that locates each Cisco ASR 901 router that you plan to install.

10. Verify the list of replaceable parts for installation (screws, bolts, washers, and so on) so that the parts are identified.

11. Check the required tools list to make sure the necessary tools and test equipment are available (see the "Required Tools and Equipment" section).

12. Perform the installation.

Console Port Considerations

The Cisco ASR 901 router provides a single console port (labeled CONSOLE). A single RJ-45 cable is used for a console connection.

This section describes important cabling information to consider before connecting a console terminal—either an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software—or a modem to the console port. The console port provides access to the router either locally (using a console terminal), or remotely (using a modem).


Note The Cisco ASR 901 router uses only console port.



Note Console and rollover cables are not included with the Cisco ASR 901 router. You can order the console cable from Cisco Systems, Inc. (Part number ACS-1900ASYN=).


Console Port Connections

The router provides an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial console port (RJ-45). Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port appears as a data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communications equipment (DCE) device at the end of the cable.

To connect an ASCII terminal to the console port, use the RJ-45 rollover cable with the female RJ-45-to-DB-25 adapter (labeled TERMINAL). To connect a PC running terminal emulation software to the console port, use the RJ-45 rollover cable with the female RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter (labeled TERMINAL). The default parameters for the port are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits. As a console port, hardware flow control is not supported. For instructions on installing a console terminal, see the "Connecting the Console Port" section.

For cable and port pinouts, see the online document Cisco Modular Access Router Cable Specifications. This document is provided on the documentation DVD that accompanied your router (if ordered), and is also available online at Cisco.com.

Network Modules

You can order the Cisco ASR 901 router as a satellite shelf with the following interface modules.

SFP Ethernet interface module

RJ-45 Ethernet interface module

Interface modules are installed and shipped with the router; they are not field replaceable.

Mounting the Cisco ASR 901 Router

Each Cisco ASR 901 router includes rack-mounting brackets. Using the rack-mounting brackets, you can front-mount theCisco ASR 901 router in a 19-inch (48.3-cm) equipment rack that conforms to the EIA-310-D specification (the inside width of the rack should be 17.72 to 17.80 inches [45 to 45.21 cm]).

Using the two rack-mounting brackets for mounting (part number 700-33522-01), you can recess Cisco ASR 901 router in the equipment rack. This arrangement provides extra space in front of the router for the cables and allows you to close the doors of racks equipped with front-close doors.

If you need to attach or replace the rack-mounting brackets, see the "Attaching the Rack-Mounting Brackets" section.

The rack-mounting brackets are slotted to allow the router to be mounted in racks with EIA 1.25-inch (3.175-cm) or WECO 1.0-inch (2.54-cm) hole spacing. When installed in the rack, the Cisco ASR 901 router requires one EIA 1.75-inch (4.4-cm) vertical mounting space (or 1 rack unit [RU]) for mounting (see the "Mounting the Cisco ASR 901 Router in a Rack" section).


Caution Allow clearance on either side of the Cisco ASR 901 router for cooling air to be drawn in through the left side and circulated through the chassis and out the two fan exhaust ports mounted on the other side of the chassis.

Rack-Mounting Configuration Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to configure the equipment rack:

When mounting the router to an equipment rack, ensure that the rack is bolted to the floor.

Because you may install more than one router into the rack, ensure that the weight of all of the routers installed does not make the rack unstable.


Caution Some equipment racks are also secured to ceiling brackets, if necessary, due to the weight of the equipment in the rack. Make sure that the rack you are using to install the routers is secured to the building structure.

As mentioned in the "Air Flow Guidelines" section, maintain a 6-inch (15.24-cm) clearance on each side of the router to ensure adequate air intake and exhaust.

Avoid installing the routers in an overly congested rack. Air flowing to or from other routers in the rack might interfere with the normal flow of cooling air through the routers, increasing the potential for overtemperature conditions within the routers.

Allow at least 19 inches (48.7 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the rack for router maintenance.

Follow your local practices for cable management. Ensure that cables to and from the routers do not impede access to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades.

Attaching the Rack-Mounting Brackets

Complete the following tasks to install, replace, or rearrange the rack-mounting brackets so you can then mount the Cisco ASR 901 router in a 19-inch (48.3-cm) equipment rack. You can use the same rack-mounting brackets to front-mount the Cisco ASR 901 router in the equipment rack.


Step 1 Locate the mounting holes of the Cisco ASR 901 router.

Step 2 Align the rack-mounting bracket with the Cisco ASR 901 router and position with the four #6-32 x 0.25-inch screws (provided) (see Figure C-49 for front-mounting).

Figure C-49 Attaching the Bracket for Front-Mounting

Rack mount bracket


Step 3 Insert the screws (four places) and tighten using a Number 2 Phillips screwdriver.

Step 4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the other rack-mounting bracket.

Proceed to the next section, "Mounting the Cisco ASR 901 Router in a Rack" to continue the installation.


Mounting the Cisco ASR 901 Router in a Rack

Typically, the Cisco ASR 901 router mounts to a 19-inch (48.3-cm) 2-post equipment rack with rack-mounting brackets that attach toward the front of the router sides. The inside width between the two posts or mounting strips (left and right) must be at least 17.72 to 17.80 inches [45 to 45.21 cm]. For more information about the equipment rack, see "Hardware Description" section.

No vertical clearance is necessary above or below the router when it is mounted in the rack.

To secure the Cisco ASR 901 router to the equipment rack, you must use the two mounting screws (provided) for each side or follow your local practices for installing the router into your equipment rack. Ensure that the rack-mount brackets are securely fastened. For more information, see the "Attaching the Rack-Mounting Brackets" section.

To mount the Cisco ASR 901 router into the equipment rack, perform the following procedure.


Caution To prevent injury, review the "Safety Guidelines" section and the "Rack-Mounting Configuration Guidelines" section before installing the Cisco ASR 901 router in the equipment rack.


Step 1 Locate the equipment rack position where you plan to install the router.

Step 2 Verify that there are no obstructions and ensure that the equipment rack is stabilized.

Step 3 Position the router in the equipment rack lining up the bracket holes on the router with the holes on the rack and secure with four #6-32 x 0.25-inch mounting screws (two on each side).


Note The vertical spacing for EIA equipment racks is 1.75 inches (4.44 cm), with mounting holes spaced 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) apart.


Step 4 Tighten the screws using a 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver (each side).


Attaching the Cable Guides

Complete the following steps to attach the two cable guides to the front of the mounting brackets. This procedure is optional.


Note The cable guides are useful only if your router is front-mounted. Do not attach the cable guides if your router is center-mounted or recess-mounted.


Use the cable guides to dress the cables that attach to the front of the Cisco ASR 901 router. The cable guides allow you to gather the cables and direct them to the left and right sides of the router. This helps to keep the cables from obscuring the fronts of lower routers in the same rack.


Step 1 In the accessory kit, locate the two cable guides (part number 700-01663-01) and two M4.0x20mm Phillips screws used to attach the cable guides (part number 48-0654-01).

Step 2 Position the cable guide over the threaded hole in the front flange of either the left or right mounting bracket. The threaded hole is located midway between the two slotted holes used to mount the unit to the rack.

Figure C-50 Attaching the Cable Guide

Step 3 Use an M4.0x20mm Phillips screw to fix the cable guide to the mounting bracket. Do not over-tighten the screw.

Step 4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to attach the other cable guide.


Note If you find it awkward to insert the screw while holding the cable guide in place, you can first insert the screw only far enough so that it does not fall out. Then, using the slot in the mounting pillar of the cable guide, slide the cable guide into place around the screw. Finally, tighten the screw to fix the cable guide to the mounting bracket.



Connecting the Chassis Ground and Power

Before you connect power or turn on power to the Cisco ASR 901 router, you must provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection to your router.

Grounding the Cisco ASR 901 Router

The Cisco ASR 901 router provides a grounding point on the rear of the unit for a 2-hole lug.

To ensure the chassis ground connection that you provide is adequate, you need the following parts and tools:

Ratcheting torque screwdriver with Phillips head that exerts up to 15 pound-force inches (lbf-in) of pressure for attaching the ground wire to the router.

Crimping tool as specified by the ground lug manufacturer

16-AWG copper wire for the power cord

Wire-stripping tools appropriate to the wire you are using


Caution Before making connections to the Cisco ASR 901 router, ensure that you disconnect the power at the circuit breaker. Otherwise it may result in severe injury or damage to the router.

Installing and Removing SFP Modules

This section describes how to install and remove SFP modules. The modules are inserted into the SFP module slots on the front of the Cisco ASR 901 router. These field-replaceable modules provide interfaces.

See the Release Notes for Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Router for the list of supported SFP modules. Each port must match the wavelength specifications on the other end of the cable. For reliable communications, the cable must not exceed 328 feet (100 meters).

For detailed instructions on installing, removing, and cabling the SFP module, see the SFP module documentation.

Installing SFP Modules

Figure 3-55 shows an SFP module that has a bale-clasp latch.


Caution We strongly recommend that you do not install or remove fiber-optic SFP modules with cables attached because of the potential damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the SFP module. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP module.Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP modules more often than is absolutely necessary.

Figure 3-55 SFP Module with a Bale-Clasp Latch

Complete the following steps to insert an SFP module into the module slot:


Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.

Some SFP modules identify the top side of the module with transmit (TX) and receive (RX) markings or arrows that show the direction of the connection.

Step 2 If the SFP module that you are using has the markings, use them to identify the top side of the module.

Step 3 Align the SFP module in front of the slot opening.

Step 4 Insert the SFP module into the slot until you feel the connector on the module snap into place in the rear of the slot (see Figure 3-56).

Figure 3-56 Installing an SFP Module into an SFP Module Slot

Step 5 For fiber-optic SFP modules, remove the dust plugs from the optical ports, and store them for later use.


Caution Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP module port or the rubber caps from the fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.

Step 6 Insert the cable connector into the SFP module:

For fiber-optic SFP modules, insert the line card or MT-RJ cable connector into the SFP module.

For copper 1000BASE-T SFP modules, insert the RJ-45 cable connector into the SFP module.


Removing SFP Modules

Complete the following steps to remove an SFP module from a module receptacle:


Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.

Step 2 Disconnect the cable from the SFP module, and insert a dust plug into the cable end.


Tip For reattachment, note which cable connector plug is transmit (TX) and which is receive (RX).


Step 3 Unlock and remove the SFP module, as shown in Figure 3-57.

If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If the bale-clasp latch is obstructed and you cannot use your index finger to open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open the bale-clasp latch.

Preventing ESD Damage


Warning This equipment needs to be grounded. Use a green and yellow 6 AWG ground wire to connect the host to earth ground during normal use. Statement 383

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD can occur when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can cause complete or intermittent failures. When removing and replacing modules, always follow ESD prevention procedures:

Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.

Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. To channel unwanted ESD voltages safely to ground, connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.

If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.

When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are properly seated.

When removing a component, use available ejector levers or captive installation screws, if any, to release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.

Handle components by their handles or edges only; do not touch the printed circuit boards or connectors.

Place a removed component board side up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding container. If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding container.

Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.


Note For the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic wrist strap. It should be between 1 and 10 Mohm.

General Precautions

Observe the following general precautions when using and working with your Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf system:

Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources and do not block cooling vents.

Do not spill food or liquids on your system components and never operate the product in a wet environment.

Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.

Position system cables and power supply cables carefully. Route system cables and the power supply cable and plug so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing else rests on your system component cables or power cable.

Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site modifications. Always follow your local and national wiring rules.

If you turn off your system, wait at least 30 seconds before turning it on again to avoid system component damage.

Site Planning Checklist

Use the following checklist to perform and account for all the site planning tasks described in this chapter:

The site meets the environmental requirements.Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf

The site's air conditioning system can compensate for the heat dissipation of the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf.

The floor space that the Cisco ASR 901 occupies can support the weight of the system.

Electrical service to the site complies with the requirements.

The electrical circuit servicing the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf complies with the requirements.

Consideration has been given to the console port wiring and limitations of the cabling involved, according to TIA/EIA-232F.

The Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf Ethernet cabling distances are within limitations.

The equipment rack in which you plan to install the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf complies with requirements.

In selecting the location of the rack, careful consideration has been given to safety, ease of maintenance, and proper airflow.

Site Selection Guidelines

The Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf requires specific environmental operating conditions. Temperature, humidity, altitude, and vibration can affect the performance and reliability of the router. The following sections provide specific information to help you plan for the proper operating environment.

The Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf is designed to meet the industry EMC, safety, and environmental standards described in the Regulatory, Safety, and Compliance Information for the Cisco ASR 903 Router.

Environmental Requirements

Environmental monitoring in the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf protects the system and components from damage caused by excessive voltage and temperature conditions. To ensure normal operation and avoid unnecessary maintenance, plan and prepare your site configuration before installation. After installation, make sure that the site maintains the environmental characteristics described in "System Specifications" section.

Physical Characteristics

Be familiar with the physical characteristics of the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf to assist you in placing the system in the proper location. For more information, see the "System Specifications" section.

Air Flow Guidelines

Cool air is circulated through the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf by a fan tray located along the right side of the router. Air flow is side-to-side, right to left, as shown in Figure C-63.

Figure C-63 Cisco ASR 903 as a Satellite Shelf Chassis Air Flow

The fan trays maintain acceptable operating temperatures for the internal components by drawing in cool air through the vents, and circulating the air through the chassis.

The following guidelines will help you plan your equipment rack configuration:

To ensure adequate air flow through the equipment rack, we recommend that you maintain a clearance of at least 80 mm on each side of the rack at all times.

If airflow through the equipment rack and the routers that occupy it is blocked or restricted, or if the ambient air being drawn into the rack is too warm, an overtemperature condition can occur within the rack and the routers that occupy it.

The site should also be as dust-free as possible. Dust tends to clog the router fans, reducing the flow of cooling air through the equipment rack and the routers that occupy it, thus increasing the risk of an overtemperature condition.

Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not congested, because each router generates heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air. Heat that is generated by the equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports of the equipment above.

When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not block the side intakes and the exhaust fans.

When rack-installed equipment fails, especially equipment in an enclosed rack, try operating the equipment by itself, if possible. Power off all other equipment in the rack (and in adjacent racks) to give the router maximum cooling air and clean power.

Avoid locating the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf in a location in which the chassis air intake vents may draw in the exhaust air from adjacent equipment. Consider how the air flows through the router; the airflow direction is side to side, with ambient air drawn in from the vents located on the front right of the chassis.

Air Flow Guidelines for Enclosed Rack Installation

To install a Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf in a 4-post enclosed cabinet, the front and rear doors of the cabinet must be removed or be perforated with a minimum of 65% open area (70% for ETSI 800mm racks).

If you are mounting the chassis in a 4-post enclosed cabinet, ensure that you have a minimum of 6 inches (15.24 cm) of clearance on each side of the chassis.

Floor Loading Considerations

Ensure that the floor under the rack supporting the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf is capable of supporting the combined weight of the rack and all the other installed equipment.

To assess the weight of a fully configured Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf, refer to "System Specifications" section.

For additional information about floor loading requirements, consult GR-63-CORE, Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) Requirements: Physical Protection.

Site Power Guidelines

The Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf has specific power and electrical wiring requirements. Adhering to these requirements ensures reliable operation of the system. Follow these precautions and recommendations when planning your site power for the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf:

The redundant power option provides a second, identical power supply to ensure that power to the chassis continues uninterrupted if one power supply fails or input power on one line fails.

In systems configured with the redundant power option, connect each of the two power supplies to a separate input power source. If you fail to do this, your system might be susceptible to total power failure due to a fault in the external wiring or a tripped circuit breaker.

To prevent a loss of input power, be sure that the total maximum load on each circuit supplying the power supplies is within the current ratings of the wiring and the breakers.

Check the power at your site before installation and periodically after installation to ensure that you are receiving clean power. Install a power conditioner if necessary.

Provide proper grounding to avoid personal injury and damage to the equipment due to lightning striking power lines or due to power surges. The chassis ground must be attached to a central office or other interior ground system.


Caution This product requires short-circuit (overcurrent) protection, to be provided as part of the building installation. Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations.


Note The Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf installation must comply with all the applicable codes and is approved for use with copper conductors only. The ground bond fastening hardware should be of compatible material and preclude loosening, deterioration, and electrochemical corrosion of hardware and joined material. Attachment of the chassis ground to a central office or other interior ground system must be made with a 6 AWG gauge wire, copper ground conductor at a minimum.

Electrical Circuit Requirements

Each Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf requires a dedicated electrical circuit. If you equip it with dual power feeds, provide a separate circuit for each power supply to avoid compromising the power redundancy feature.

The Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf can be powered by a DC source or an AC source. Ensure that equipment grounding is present and observe the power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the power strip does not exceed 80% of the rating.

For more information about the Cisco ASR 903 router power supply, see the "Power Supply Features" section of the Cisco ASR 903 Router Hardware Installation Guide online.

Site Cabling Guidelines

This section contains guidelines for wiring and cabling at your site. When preparing your site for network connections to the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf, consider the type of cable required for each component, and the cable limitations. Consider the distance limitations for signaling, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and connector compatibility. Possible cable types are fiber, thick or thin coaxial, foil twisted-pair, or unshielded twisted-pair cabling.

Also consider any additional interface equipment you need, such as transceivers, hubs, switches, modems, channel service units (CSU), or data service units (DSU).

Before you begin, read these important notes about cabling:

The T1/E1 interface module for the Cisco ASR 903 router uses a high-density connector that requires the use of a T1/E1 interface cable and a customer-provided patch panel. For more information, see "Connecting T1/E1 cables" section of the Cisco ASR 903 Router Hardware Installation Guide online. Note that the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf does not use the T1/E1 interface module. The Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf supports only ethernet ports.

Shielded cables must be used to connect to the DB-25 alarm connector on the fan tray in order to comply with FCC/EN55022/CISPR22 Class A emissions requirements. For information about the fan tray alarm port, see "Connecting the Fan Tray Alarm Port" section of the Cisco ASR 903 Router Hardware Installation Guide online.

Before you install the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf, have all the additional external equipment and cables on hand. For information about ordering, contact a Cisco customer service representative.

The extent of your network and the distances between the network interface connections depend in part on the following factors:

Signal type

Signal speed

Transmission medium

The distance and rate limits referenced in the following sections are the IEEE-recommended maximum speeds and distances for signaling purposes. Use this information as a guideline in planning your network connections prior to installing the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf.

If wires exceed the recommended distances, or if wires pass between buildings, give special consideration to the effect of a lightning strike in your vicinity. The electromagnetic pulse caused by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can easily couple enough energy into unshielded conductors to destroy electronic devices. If you have had problems of this sort in the past, you may want to consult experts in electrical surge suppression and shielding.

Asynchronous Terminal Connections

The RSP provides a console port to connect a terminal or computer for local console access. The port has an RJ45 connector and supports RS-232 asynchronous data with distance recommendations specified in the IEEE RS-232 standard.

Interference Considerations

When wires are run for any significant distance, there is a risk that stray signals will be induced on the wires as interference. If interference signals are strong, they can cause data errors or damage to the equipment.

The following sections describe sources of interference and how to minimize its effects on the Cisco ASR 901 system.

Electromagnetic Interference

All equipment powered by AC current can propagate electrical energy that can cause EMI and possibly affect the operation of other equipment. The typical sources of EMI are equipment power cords and power service cables from electric utility companies.

Strong EMI can destroy the signal drivers and receivers in the Cisco ASR 901 and even create an electrical hazard by causing power surges through the power lines into installed equipment. These problems are rare but could be catastrophic.

To resolve these problems, you need specialized knowledge and equipment that could consume substantial time and money. However, you can ensure that you have a properly grounded and shielded electrical environment, paying special attention to the need for electrical surge suppression.

For information about the electrode magnetic compliance standards supported on the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf, see Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco ASR 903 Router.

Radio Frequency Interference

When electromagnetic fields act over a long distance, radio frequency interference (RFI) may be propagated. Building wiring can often act as an antenna, receiving the RFI signals and creating more EMI on the wiring.

If you use twisted-pair cable in your plant wiring with a good distribution of grounding conductors, the plant wiring is unlikely to emit radio interference. If you exceed the recommended distances, use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data signal.

Lightning and AC Power Fault Interference

If signal wires exceed the recommended cabling distances, or if signal wires pass between buildings, you should consider the effect that a lightning strike in your vicinity might have on the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf.

The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generated by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can couple enough energy into unshielded conductors to damage or destroy electronic equipment. If you have previously experienced such problems, you should consult with RFI and EMI experts to ensure that you have adequate electrical surge suppression and shielding of signal cables in your Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf operating environment.

Rack-Mounting Guidelines

The following sections provide guidelines for rack-mounting the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf:

Precautions for Rack-Mounting

Rack Selection Guidelines

Equipment Rack Guidelines

Precautions for Rack-Mounting

The following rack-mount guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

Do not move large racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of a rack, a minimum of two people are required to accomplish this task.

Ensure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.

Ensure that proper airflow is provided to the components in the rack.

Do not step on or stand on any component or system when servicing other systems or components in a rack.

When mounting the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

Rack Selection Guidelines

The Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf can be mounted in most two-post or four-post, 19-inch equipment racks that comply with the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard for equipment racks (EIA-310-D 19-inch). The rack must have at least two posts with mounting flanges to mount the chassis.


Caution When mounting a chassis in any type of rack equipment, ensure that the inlet air to the chassis does not exceed 65 degrees C.

The distance between the center lines of the mounting holes on the two mounting posts must be 18.31 inches ± 0.06 inch (46.50 cm ± 0.15 cm). The rack-mounting hardware included with the chassis is suitable for most 19-inch equipment racks.

Consider installing the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf in a rack with the following features:

Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) compliant, 19-inch (48.3 cm) wide rack.

EIA or European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) hole patterns in the mounting rails. The required mounting hardware is shipped with the Cisco ASR 901. If the rack that you plan to install the system in has metric-threaded rails, you must provide your own metric-mounting hardware.

Perforated top and open bottom for ventilation to prevent overheating.

Leveling feet for stability.


Note The Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf should not be installed in an enclosed rack because the chassis requires an unobstructed flow of cooling air to maintain acceptable operating temperatures for its internal components. Installing the router in any type of enclosed rack—even with the side doors removed—could disrupt the air flow, trap heat next to the chassis, and cause an overtemperature condition inside the router. If you use an enclosed rack, ensure that there are air vents on all sides of the rack and there is proper ventilation.


Equipment Rack Guidelines

The placement of the rack can affect personnel safety, system maintenance, and the system's ability to operate within the environmental characteristics described in the "System Specifications" section. Choose a proper location for the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf by following the following guidelines.

Locating for Safety

If the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf is the heaviest or the only piece of equipment in the rack, consider installing it at or near the bottom to ensure that the rack's center of gravity is as low as possible.

For additional information about the proper placement of electronic equipment, consult the document GR-63-CORE, Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) Requirements: Physical Protection.

Locating for Easy Maintenance

Keep at least 3 feet of clear space at the front and back of the rack. This space ensures that you can remove the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf components and perform routine maintenance and upgrades easily.

Avoid installing the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf in a congested rack and consider how routing of cables from other pieces of equipment in the same rack could affect access to the router cards.

The sides of the chassis must remain unobstructed to ensure adequate airflow and prevent overheating inside the chassis.

Allow the following clearances for normal system maintenance:

At the top of the chassis—At least 3 inches (7.6 cm)

Sides of the chassis—3 to 4 ft (91.44 cm to 121.92 cm)

To avoid problems during installation and ongoing operations, follow these general precautions when you plan equipment locations and connections:

Use the show environment all command regularly to check the internal system status. The environmental monitor continually checks the interior chassis environment; it provides warnings about high temperature and creates reports on other potentially dangerous occurrences. If warning messages are displayed, take immediate action to identify the cause, and correct the problem.

Keep the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf off the floor and out of areas that collect dust.

Follow ESD-prevention procedures to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.

Locating for Proper Airflow

Ensure that the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf location has enough airflow to keep the system operating within the environmental characteristics and the air temperature is sufficient to compensate for the heat dissipated by the system. For more information, see "Air Flow Guidelines" section.

Chassis-Lifting Guidelines

The chassis is not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the system, ensure that your site is properly prepared so that you can avoid having to move the chassis later to accommodate power sources and network connections.

Two or more people are required to lift the chassis. Each time you lift the chassis or any heavy object, follow these guidelines:

Never attempt to lift the chassis by yourself. Because of the size and weight of the chassis, use at least two people to safely lift and move it without causing injury to yourself or damaging the equipment.

Ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the chassis between your feet.

Lift the chassis slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.

Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. If you must bend down to lift the chassis, bend at the knees, not at the waist, to reduce the strain on your back muscles.

Do not remove installed components from the chassis.

Always disconnect all external cables before lifting or moving the chassis.


Warning To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the handles on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed to support the weight of the unit. Lift the unit only by using handles that are an integral part of the chassis, or by grasping the chassis underneath its lower edge. Statement 163

Perform the following to lift a chassis:

RSP Installation

Follow these steps on handling an RSP module in the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf:

Installing an RSP Module

Removing an RSP Module

Installing an RSP Module

To install an RSP module in the router chassis, perform the following steps:


Step 1 Choose a slot for the module. Make sure that there is enough clearance to accommodate any equipment that will be connected to the ports on the module. If a blank module filler plate is installed in the slot in which you plan to install the module, remove the plate by removing its 2 Phillips pan-head screws.

Step 2 Fully open both the ejector levers on the new module, as shown in Figure C-78.


Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by carrier edges only.

Step 3 Position the module in the slot. Make sure that you align the sides of the module with the guides on each side of the slot, as shown in Figure C-78.

Figure C-78 Cisco ASR 903 RSP Installation

Step 4 Carefully slide the module into the slot until the EMI gasket on the module makes contact with the module in the adjacent slot and both the ejector levers have closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate.


Caution If the top slot already has an RSP module installed, and you install a second RSP module in the slot below it, be careful not to damage the EMI gasket of the bottom RSP module against the ejector levers of the top RSP during insertion.

Step 5 While pressing down, simultaneously close both the ejector levers to fully seat the module in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate.

Step 6 Tighten the two captive installation screws on the module. The recommended maximum torque is 5.5 lbf/sq in.


Note Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation screws.


Step 7 Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all of the modules installed in the chassis. This step ensures that the EMI gaskets on all the modules are fully compressed in order to maximize the opening space for the new or replacement module.


Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push adjacent modules toward the open slot, which reduces the size of the opening and makes it difficult to install the new module.



Note Blank module filler plates (Cisco part number A900-RSPA-BLANK) should be installed in any empty chassis slots to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain consistent airflow through the chassis.


Removing an RSP Module

Before you remove an RSP from the router, you should save the current configuration using the write {host file | network | terminal} command. This saves you time when bringing the module back online.

If the module is running Cisco IOS software, save the current running configuration by entering the copy running-config startup-config command.


Warning Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when servicing. Statement 1034

Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

To remove an RSP module, perform the following steps:


Step 1 Disconnect any cables attached to the ports on the module.

Step 2 Verify that the captive installation screws on all the modules in the chassis are tight. This step ensures that the space created by the removed module is maintained.


Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push the modules toward the open slot, which in turn reduces the size of the opening and makes it difficult to remove the module.


Step 3 Loosen the two captive installation screws on the module you plan to remove from the chassis.

Step 4 Place your thumbs on the ejector levers (see Figure C-78) and simultaneously rotate the ejector levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.

Step 5 Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module straight out of the slot. If the chassis has horizontal slots, place your hand under the module to support its weight as you slide it out from the slot. Do not touch the module circuitry.


Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.

Step 6 Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately reinstall the module in another slot.

Step 7 Install blank module filler plates (Cisco part number A900-RSPA-BLANK) in empty slots, if any.


Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029

Interface Module Installation

The following sections describe the various tasks of associated with interface module installation on the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf:

Step 2 Connect the DB-9 end of the console cable to the DB-9 end of the modem adapter.

Step 3 Connect the DB-25 end of the modem adapter to the modem.

Step 4 Make sure that your modem and the router auxiliary port are configured for the same transmission speed (up to 115200 bps is supported) and for mode control with data carrier detect (DCD) and data terminal ready (DTR) operations.

Connecting a Management Ethernet Cable

When using the Ethernet Management port in the default mode (speed-auto and duplex-auto) the port operates in auto-MDI/MDI-X mode. The port automatically provides the correct signal connectivity through the Auto-MDI/MDI-X feature. The port automatically senses a crossover or straight-through cable and adapts to it.

However, when the Ethernet Management port is configured to a fixed speed (10 or 100 Mbps) through command-line interface (CLI) commands, the port is forced to MDI mode.

When in a fixed-speed configuration and MDI mode:

Use a crossover cable to connect to an MDI port

Use a straight-through cable to connect to an MDI-X port


Warning To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety, connect the Management Ethernet ports only to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cable. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

Installing and Removing SFP and XFP Modules

The Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf supports a variety of SFP and XFP modules, including optical and Ethernet modules. For information on how to install and remove SFP and XFP modules, see the documentation for the SFP or XFP module at

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/modules/ps5455/prod_installation_guides_list.html

For information about inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/tech/tk482/tk876/technologies_white_paper09186a0080254eba.shtml

Connecting a USB Flash Device

To connect a USB flash device to the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf, insert the memory stick in the USB port labeled MEM. The Flash memory module can be inserted in only one way, and can be inserted or removed regardless of whether the router is powered up or not.

Figure C-88 shows the USB port connector on the Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf.

Figure C-88 Cisco ASR 903 Router Satellite Shelf Flash Token Memory Stick

Removing a USB Flash Device

To remove and then replace a USB flash token memory stick from a Cisco ASR 903 router as a satellite shelf, follow these steps:


Step 1 Pull the memory stick from the USB port.

Step 2 To replace a Cisco USB Flash memory stick, simply insert the module into the USB port labeled MEM as shown in Figure C-88 . The Flash memory module can be inserted in only one way, and can be inserted or removed regardless of whether the router is powered up or not.


Note You can insert or remove the memory stick whether the router is powered on or not.


This completes the USB Flash memory installation procedure.

Connecting Ethernet Cables

The Cisco ASR 901 interface modules support RJ45 or SFP Ethernet ports. For instructions on how to connect cables to Ethernet SFP ports, see Connecting Cables to SFP Modules.

The RJ45 port supports standard straight-through and crossover Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables. Cisco Systems does not supply Category 5 UTP cables; these cables are available commercially.


Warning To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety, connect the Gigabit Ethernet ports only to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cable. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

Follow these steps to connect the cable to a copper Gigabit Ethernet port:


Step 1 Confirm that the router is powered off.

Step 2 Connect one end of the cable to the Gigabit Ethernet port on the router.

Step 3 Connect the other end to the BTS patch or demarcation panel at your site.


Connecting Cables to SFP Modules

For information on connecting cables to Cisco optical and Ethernet SFP interfaces, see

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/modules/ps5455/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

Connecting the Fan Tray Alarm Port

The fan tray includes an alarm port that maps to 4 dry contact alarm inputs.

The pins on the alarm port are passive signals and can be configured as Normally Open (an alarm generated when current is interrupted) or Normally Closed (an alarm is generated when a circuit is established) alarms. You can configure each alarm input as critical, major, or minor. An alarm triggers alarm LEDs and alarm messages. The relay contacts can be controlled through any appropriate third-party relay controller. The open/close configuration is an option controlled in IOS.


Warning To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety, connect the alarm ports only to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cable. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

Only Pins 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 are available for customer use. The remaining pins are for Cisco manufacturing test, and should not be connected. Use a shielded cable for connection to this port for EMC protection. Table C-30 summarizes the pinouts on the alarm port.


Step 1 Attach an RJ45 cable to the alarm port.

Step 2 Attach the other end of the RJ45 cable to the relay controller.


For information about how to map alarm inputs to critical, major, and minor alarm conditions, see the Cisco ASR 903 Software Configuration Guide.
