Preparing for Installation
Before installing your Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router, you must consider power and cabling requirements that must be in place at your installation site, special equipment for installing the router, and the environmental conditions your installation site must meet to maintain normal operation. This chapter guides you through the process of preparing for router installation.
The shipping package for the router is engineered to reduce the chances of product damage associated with routine material handling experienced during shipment:
•
Router should always be transported or stored in its shipping package in the upright position.
•
Inspect all items for shipping damage. If an item appears damaged, contact a Cisco customer service representative immediately.
This chapter contains the following installation topics:

Compliance and Safety Information
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers are designed to meet the regulatory compliance and safety approval requirements. See Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router .
Laser Safety
Single-mode Cisco ASR 9000 Series line cards are equipped with lasers. The lasers emit invisible radiation. Do not stare into open line card ports. Observe the following warning to prevent eye injury:
WarningEnergy Hazard
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series can be configured for a DC power source. Do not touch terminals while they are live. Observe the following warning to prevent injury.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Many router components can be damaged by static electricity. Not exercising the proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions can result in intermittent or complete component failures. To minimize the potential for ESD damage, always use an ESD-preventive antistatic wrist strap (or ankle strap) and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
Note
Before you perform any of the procedures in this guide, attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist and connect the leash to the chassis as shown in the figures below.

Lifting Guidelines
Fully configured Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers can weigh as much as 1038 pounds (470.28 kg), and an empty chassis weighs up to 300 pounds (136 kg). These systems are not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the router, ensure that your site is properly prepared so you can avoid having to move the router later to accommodate power sources and network connections.

Site Wiring Guidelines
When planning the location of the router, consider distance limitations for signaling, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and connector compatibility. If the wiring is run for any significant distance in an electromagnetic field, interference can occur between the field and the signals on the wires. Poor wiring can cause:
•
•
Note
Site wiring is unlikely to emit radio interference if you use twisted-pair cable with a good distribution of grounding conductors. Use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data signal, when applicable.
Give special consideration to the effect of a lightning strike in your vicinity, especially if the wiring exceeds the recommended distances, or if it passes between buildings. The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) caused by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can easily induce enough energy into unshielded conductors to destroy electronic devices. If you have experienced EMP problems in the past, you may want to consult experts in electrical surge suppression and shielding.
Most data centers cannot resolve infrequent but potentially catastrophic problems without pulse meters and other special equipment. In addition, these problems can take a great deal of time to identify and resolve. We recommend that you take the necessary precautions to avoid these problems by providing a properly grounded and shielded environment, with special attention to issues of electrical surge suppression.
Chassis Air Flow Guidelines
Cool air is circulated through the Cisco ASR 9010 Router by two fan trays located underneath the Route Switch Processor (RSP) and line cards (see Figure 1-8).
Cool air is circulated through the Cisco ASR 9006 Router by two fan trays located along the top left side above the RSP and line cards (see Figure 1-9).
Cool air is circulated through the Cisco ASR 9922 Router by four fan trays. Two fan trays are located between the line cards in the top cage and the Route Processor (RP) and fabric cards. Another two fan trays are located between the same RP and fabric cards and the line cards in the bottom cage.
The fan trays maintain acceptable operating temperatures for the internal components by drawing in cool air through the air filter, and circulating the air through the card cage. Each power supply is also equipped with fans that draw cooler air into the front of the power supply and force warmer air out of the back of the chassis.

See "Rack-Mounting and Air Flow Clearance Guidelines" for details on air flow clearance requirements for installation in an enclosed 4-post rack.
Rack-Mounting and Air Flow Clearance Guidelines
The Cisco ASR 9010 Router and Cisco ASR 9006 Router can be mounted in most 2-post, 4-post, or telco-style 19-inch equipment racks that comply with the Electronics Industries Association (EIA) standard for equipment racks (EIA-310-D). The Cisco ASR 9922 Router can be mounted in only a 4-post rack. The rack must have at least two posts with mounting flanges to mount the router chassis. 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).
Figure 1-11 shows examples of typical 2-post, 4-post, and telco-type equipment racks.
Figure 1-11 Equipment Rack Types
Telco 2-Post Rack
Item a in Figure 1-11 shows a telco-style rack. The telco-style rack is an open frame consisting of two posts tied together by a cross-bar at the top and a floor stand at the bottom.
This type of rack is usually secured to the floor and sometimes to an overhead structure or wall for additional stability. The router chassis can be installed in the telco-style rack only in a front-mounted position.
In the front-mounted position, you secure the chassis rack-mounting brackets directly to the rack posts (see Figure 1-12 for an example of a Cisco ASR 9010 Router rack mounting and Figure 1-13 for an example of a Cisco ASR 9006 Router rack mounting). Two rear mounting brackets are provided for mounting the Cisco ASR 9010 Router in a 2-post rack

Figure 1-17 ASR 9922 Clearance Requirements for a 4-Post Rack Installation
Temperature and Humidity Guidelines
The operating and nonoperating environmental site requirements are listed in Table A-4. The router normally operates within the ranges listed in Table A-5; however, if a temperature measurement is approaching a minimum or maximum parameter, it indicates a potential problem. Maintain normal operation by anticipating and correcting environmental anomalies before they approach critical values by properly planning and preparing your site before you install the router.
Power Connection Guidelines
You can configure the router with either an AC-input or DC-input power subsystem, so the site power source requirements differ depending on the power subsystem in your router. Ensure all power connection wiring conforms to the rules and regulations in the National Electrical Code (NEC) as well as local codes.
The Cisco ASR 9010 Router and Cisco ASR 9006 Router support two power systems. The version 1 power system supports up to three power modules in the power tray. The version 2 power system supports up to four power modules in the power tray and is compatible only with Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4 and later Cisco IOS XR software releases. The Cisco ASR 9922 Router supports only version 2 power system. The version 2 power system uses different power cables than the version 1 system.
Caution
Caution
AC Powered Routers
AC power modules operate in the input range of 180 VAC to 264 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz (nominal input level of 200 to 240 VAC). Refer to Table 1-1 and Table 1-2 for the minimum required AC service for version 1 and version 2 power modules.
Power redundancy requirements vary based on the system configuration (number and type of line cards, etc.). AC powered systems are 2N protected. A minimum of two power supplies are required for redundant operation. Refer to the ASR 9000 Power Calculator at the following URL to determine actual redundancy requirements for any given configuration: http://tools.cisco.com/cpc/launch.jsp.
Each of the AC power inputs requires a separate dedicated branch circuit. For a list of the nominal and acceptable value ranges for source AC power, see Table A-11.
Table 1-1 lists the AC-input power cord options, specifications, and Cisco product numbers for the AC-input version 1 power supply modules. Table 1-2 lists the AC-input power cord options, specifications, and Cisco product numbers for the AC-input version 2 power supply modules.

DC Powered Router
Connections to DC power modules are rated at 60 A maximum. The system accepts a nominal input voltage of -48 VDC with an operational tolerance range of -40 VDC to -72 VDC. One dedicated, commensurately rated DC power source is required for each power module connection.
Power redundancy requirements vary based on the system configuration (number and type of line cards, etc.). DC powered systems are N+1 protected. A minimum of two power supplies are required for redundant operation. Refer to the ASR 9000 Power Calculator at the following URL to determine actual redundancy requirements for any given configuration: http://tools.cisco.com/cpc/launch.jsp.
Power connections to the power tray for each DC power module requires four cables: two source cables and two return cables. In addition, each DC power tray requires one earth ground, so the minimum number of cables for connecting a single DC power module in a power tray is five (two source, two return, one ground).
For DC power cables, we recommend that you use 60-A-rated, high-strand-count copper wire cables.
The length of the cables depends on your router location from the source power.
Note
You must terminate DC power cables using cable lugs at the power tray end. Ensure that the lugs are dual-hole and that they fit over M6 terminal studs at 0.625-inch (15.88-mm) centers. For #4 AWG cable, use Panduit part number LCD4-14AF-L; for #6 AWG, use Panduit part number LCD6-14AF-L.
WarningFigure 1-42 shows the type of lug required for DC-input cable connections.
Figure 1-42 Typical DC Power Cable Lug
Figure 1-43 shows typical DC power source cable connections for a version 1 single DC power module, in this case, a module installed in slot M2 of the power tray. Figure 1-44 shows typical DC power source cable connections for a version 2 single DC power module, in this case, a module installed in slot M2 of the power tray.
The DC power trays and power modules for the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Cisco ASR 9006 Router, and Cisco ASR 9922 Router are identical, so the examples shown in Figure 1-43 and Figure 1-44 apply to all of these routers.

Caution
For a list of the nominal and acceptable value ranges for source DC power, see Appendix A.
NEBS Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines
Although the router chassis requires a safety earth ground connection as part of the power cabling to power modules, you must permanently connect the central office ground system or interior equipment grounding system to one of the three supplemental bonding and grounding connections on the back or side of the router chassis to meet network equipment building system (NEBS) requirements as well as safety compliance requirements. These grounding points are referred to as the NEBS bonding and grounding points.
Figure 1-46 shows the NEBS grounding locations for the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Figure 1-47 shows them for the Cisco ASR 9006 Router, and Figure 1-48 shows them for the Cisco ASR 9922 Router.

RSP and RP Port Connection Guidelines
This section contains detailed cabling and signal information for all interface and port connections to the RSP/RP. It also provides information for Ethernet routing and equipment.
Caution
Console Port and Auxiliary Port Connection Guidelines
The RSP/RP has two EIA/TIA-232 (formerly RS232) serial RJ45 connection ports:
•
•
Note
Figure 1-49 RSP Console Port and Auxiliary Ports
Figure 1-50 RP Console Port and Auxiliary Ports
Console Port Signals
The console port is an RJ45 interface for connecting a terminal to the router. The console port does not support modem control or hardware flow control and requires a straight-through RJ45 cable.
Before connecting a terminal to the console port, check the terminal setting for the data transmission rate, in bits per second (bps). The terminal transmission rate setting must match the default rate of the console port, which is 9600 bps. Set the terminal to these operational values: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 2 stop bits (9600 8N2).
Table 1-3 lists the signals used on the console port.
Auxiliary Port Signals
The Auxiliary (AUX) port is an RJ45 interface for connecting a modem or other data communication equipment (DCE) device (such as another router) to the RSP/RP. The AUX port supports hardware flow control and modem control.
Table 1-4 lists the signals used on the Auxiliary port.
Management LAN Ports Connection Guidelines
The RSP/RP has two RJ45 media-dependent interface (MDI) Ethernet management LAN ports: MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1 (see Figure 1-51).
These ports are used for IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps), or 1000BASE-T (1000 Mbps) Ethernet connections.
The transmission speed of the management LAN ports is not user-configurable. The transmission speed is set through an autosensing scheme on the RSP/RP; the speed is determined by the network that the Ethernet port is connected to. The combined total input rate of both MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1 is about 12 Mbps.
Management port characteristics are:
•
•
•
•
Table 1-5 lists the signals used on the Management LAN ports.

Figure 1-53 RSP/RP Management LAN Port LED Indicators
Management LAN RJ45 Cabling
When connecting the RJ45 port to a hub, repeater, or switch, use the straight-through cable pinout shown in Figure 1-54.
Note
Figure 1-54 Straight-Through Cable Pinout to a Hub, Repeater or Switch
When connecting to a router, use the crossover cable pinout shown in Figure 1-55.
Figure 1-55 Crossover Cable Pinout Between RSPs/RPs
Alarm Connection Guidelines
The RSP/RP card has an alarm connector on its front panel. This 9-pin D-subconnectors (ALARM OUT) connects the router to an external site alarm maintenance system (see Figure 1-56). When a critical, major, or minor alarm is generated, it energizes the alarm relays on the RSP/RP card to activate the external site alarm.
Figure 1-56 Alarm Connector on the RSP/RP Card Front Panel
The alarm relay contacts on the RSP/RP card consist of standard common, normally open, and normally closed relay contacts that are wired to the pins on the connectors.
Caution
Note
Table 1-6 lists the pin-to-signal correspondence between the cable connector pins and the alarm connector relay contacts.
Sync Ports Connection Guidelines
The SYNC 0 and SYNC 1 ports are timing synchronization ports. They can be configured as Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) ports or J.211 ports (see Figure 1-57).
Note
When configured as BITS ports, they provide connections for an external synchronization source for establishing precise frequency control at multiple network nodes, if required for your application. The RSP/RP card contains a synchronous equipment timing source (SETS) that can receive a frequency reference from an external BITS timing interface or from a clock signal recovered from any incoming Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface. The RSP/RP SETS circuit filters the received timing signal and uses it to drive outgoing Ethernet interfaces.
The BITS input can be T1, E1 or 64K 4/. The BITS output can be T1, E1 or 6.312M 5/.
When configured as J.211 ports, they can be used as Universal Timing Interface (UTI) ports to synchronize timing across multiple routers by connecting to an external timing source.
When lit, these LEDs indicate for BITS:

RSP Compact Flash Slot
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router RSP cards support a single ATA/IDE type I/II compact flash external slot accessible on the front panel. The compact flash slot has a door that can be closed whether a compact flash device is present or not. The RSP-440 cards do not have a ATA/IDE type I/II compact flash external slot.
The file systems supported on compact flash are DOS/FAT or QNX4. The compact flash comes with a DOS format. The supported flash disk sizes and their Cisco part numbers are listed in Table 4-5.
RP USB Port
The Cisco ASR 9922 Router RP card has a single external Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. A USB flash memory device can be inserted to load and transfer software images and files. This memory device can be used to turboboot the system or as the installation source for Package Information Envelopes (PIE) and Software Maintenance Upgrades (SMU). This memory device can also be used for users' data files, core files, and configuration backups.
