Table 3. Chassis Power Requirements

Characteristic | Value
--- | ---
Input Voltage | Maximum range: -40VDC to -60VDC Nominal range: -48VDC to -60 VDC
TUV Rated Peak Current Load | 165A @ -48 VDC
Maximum Peak Power Load | 5760W
Chassis Maximum Power Load | 800W

Application Card (front-installed) Maximum Power Load | SMC: 130W PPC: 325W PSC: 250W PSC2: 325W PSC3: 330W

Estimating Power Requirements

Use the following formula to estimate total power consumption for each deployed chassis.

Note:

Use these estimates as a guide. Obey all cable and power safety regulations and assure that they are sufficient for your system’s requirements.

(Total Application Card Maximum Power Load) + (Total Line Card Maximum Power Load) + (Chassis Maximum Power Load)

For example, the calculation for estimating the power required for an ASR 5000 installation with 3 PSCs, 2 SMCs, 2 SPIOs, 2 RCCs, and 4 GELC/GLC2s would be:

(250W x 3) + (130W x 2) + (20W x 2) + (13.5W x 4) + 800W = 1934W

Mounting Requirements

Each 24.5 in. (62.23 cm.) height chassis requires 14 Rack Units (RUs) of space. You can mount the system into any 19-inch (482.6 mm) equipment rack or telco cabinet with the mounting brackets supplied with the chassis. Additional hardware (not supplied), such as extension brackets, may be used to install the chassis in a standard 23-inch (584.2 mm) cabinet or rack. Both front and mid-mount installations are possible, depending on the position of the mounting brackets on the chassis.

You can mount a maximum of three ASR 5000 chassis in a 2- or 4-post equipment rack or telco cabinet, provided that all system cooling and ventilation requirements are met. Three stacked chassis will occupy a minimum of 42 RUs.

CAUTION:

When planning chassis installation, ensure that equipment rack or cabinet hardware does not hinder air flow at any of the intake or exhaust vents. Also, make sure that the rack/cabinet hardware, as well as the ambient environment, allow the system to function within the required limits. For more information, refer to Environmental Specifications in this guide.

Rack mounting requires the use of industry-standard (EIA-310-D, IEC 60297) equipment racks and cabinets, as well as supplier-recommended fasteners. The following figure depicts how three chassis can be mounted in a 42 RU equipment rack.

Central Office Alarm Interface

The Central Office (CO) alarm interface is a 10-pin Molex connector supporting three dry-contact relay switches. The three normally closed (NC) relays can support normally open (NO) or NC devices. The following two figures show the pin-out details for this interface and the next figure shows an example CO alarm configuration.

5 | Minor Alarm - Common
6 | Minor Alarm - Normally open
7 | Critical Alarm - Normally closed
8 | Critical Alarm - Common
9 | Critical Alarm - Normally open
10 | Not used

The 8-foot (2.4 meter) CO alarm cable shipped with the chassis supports redundant SPIO card installations. This “Y” cable has two Molex connectors on one end that are keyed to fit into the CO Alarm interfaces in one direction only. Each connector mates with one of the side-by-side SPIO cards. On the opposite end is a 9-pin terminal block that you can mount to the telco cabinet or equipment rack frame.

The following figure and table display this cable assembly and its pinouts.

Electrical Characteristics

Each of the three dry-contact relay switches is rated to support a maximum switching current of 1A@30VDC. The relay contacts should not directly connected to high current devices such as sirens and flashing lamps.

Central Office Alarm Wiring Example

The following figure depicts how the dry-contact relays can each control up to two external alarm indicators. In this example, the CO alarm interface is connected to a CO Alarm Panel, where green LEDs are wired to indicate normal operation, and red LEDs are wired to indicate an alarm condition.
Figure 4. CO Alarm Interface Schematic

With all relays de-energized (normally closed), the green LED is illuminated. If an alarm relay is energized, the NO (normally open) contact closes and the red LED is illuminated.

BITS Timing Interface

IMPORTANT:

This interface is not used on SPIOs when the system is configured to perform data services.

BITS BNC Timing Interface

The BNC version of the SPIO interface card uses a BNC connector. The following figure shows the BITS BNC timing interface.
Figure 5. SPIO BITS BNC Timing Interface Pinout

BITS 3-Pin Timing Interface

This 3-pin version of the SPIO interface card uses a 3-pin wire-wrap connector instead of a BNC interface. The following figure shows the BITS 3-wire timing interface wire-wrap pin-out.
Figure 6. SPIO T1 BITS Timing Wire-Wrap Pinout

Fast Ethernet Line Card (FELC/FLC2) Interfaces
