Power Supply Features

The Cisco ASR 902 Router supports AC and DC power supplies. These power supplies have the following features:

  • Redundancy

    The Cisco ASR 902 Router chassis includes a slot for optional redundant power supply. The redundant power supply option provides a second power supply to ensure that power to the chassis continues uninterrupted if one power supply fails or input power on one line fails. Redundancy is supported either with identical power supplies or a combination of AC and DC power supply.

  • Dying Gasp

    This feature allows the router to provide an input power loss notification to the RSP so that the RSP can send appropriate SNMP traps or OAM messages and update log files on the router.

  • Status LEDs

    The LEDs indicate the status of the input power and the health of the power supply.

Fan Tray Features

The fan tray has the following hardware features:

  • It provides side-to-side forced air cooling

  • It provides redundant fans

  • It is field replaceable

  • It contains status LEDs

  • Nonvolatile memory for storage of software images, configurations, and system files
  • Enabling and monitoring the health and presence of fan trays, interface modules, and power supplies
  • Field replacement
Network Timing Interfaces

The RSP supports the following network timing interfaces:

  • BITS input/output port—RJ48 jack
  • 1 PPS input and output—Mini coax connectors
  • 2.048 or 10 MHz input and output—Mini coax connectors
  • Time of Day (ToD) —Shielded RJ45 jack

GNSS Module (A900-CM-GNSS)

The GNSS module is present on the RSP3 modules. It is a pluggable module that allows direct interface with the external antenna.

DANGER

To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord. Statement 1023


Note
The GNSS module is not hot swappable.
GNSS Module RF Input Requirements
  • The GNSS module requires an active GPS/GNSS antenna with built-in Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) for optimal performance. The antenna LNA amplifies the received satellite signals for two purposes:

    • Compensation of losses on the cable

    • Lifting the signal amplitude in the suitable range for the receiver frontend

    The Amplification required is 22dB gain + cable/connector loss + Splitter signal loss.

    The recommended range of LNA gain (LNA gain minus all cable and connector losses) at the connector of the receiver module is 22dB to 30dB with a minimum of 20dB and a maximum of 35dB.

  • GNSS module provides 5V to the active antenna through the same RF input.

  • Surge requirement:

    • GNSS modules have built-in ESD protections on all pins, including the RF-input pin. However, additional surge protection may be required if rooftop antennas are being connected, to meet the regulations and standards for lightning protection in the countries where the end-product is installed.

    • A lightning protection must be mounted at the place where the antenna cable enters the building. The primary lightning protection must be capable of conducting all potentially dangerous electrical energy to PE (Protective Earth).

    • Surge arrestors should support DC-pass and suitable for the GPS frequency range (1.575GHz) with low attenuation.

  • Antenna Sky visibility:

    • GPS signals can only be received on a direct line of sight between antenna and satellite. The antenna should see as much as possible from the total sky. For proper timing, minimum of four satellites should be locked.


      Note

      The antenna terminal should be earthed at the building entrance in accordance with the ANSI/NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code (NEC), in particular Section 820.93, Grounding of Outer Conductive Shield of a Coaxial Cable.

  • Use a passive splitter if more than one GNSS modules are fed from a single antenna.


Note
The splitter should have all the RF ports capable of DC-pass, if the antenna needs to feed power from GNSS module.

Interface Modules

The Cisco ASR 902 Router interface modules are field-replaceable units.


Note
On RSP-1, Slot 2 Port 0 cannot be used for traffic flow on 8X1-G copper and 8X1-G SFP interface modules.

In addition to the ports provided on an RSP, the Cisco ASR 902 Router supports the following interface modules:

            Step 5   Perform the steps to install the fan tray in the chassis. See the Installing the Fan Tray section.

            RSP Installation

            Follow these steps pertaining to handling an RSP module in the Cisco ASR 902 Router:

            Installing an RSP Module

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

            Procedure
              Step 1   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 the figure below .
              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 the figure below .
              Figure 9. Cisco ASR 902 Router 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.
              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 in.-lb (.62 N-m).
              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 towards the open slot, which reduces the size of the opening and makes it difficult to install the new module.
              Note    When installing the cabling to an RSP, we recommend that you leave a service loop of extra cabling sufficient to allow for fan tray removal.
              Note    Close all unused RJ-45 and USB ports on the RSP module using the appropriate dust caps to prevent dust from accumulating inside the cage. For information on dust caps, see the Installing the Dust Caps section.

                        The USB Type A-to-Type A cable is not included with the Cisco ASR 902 Router; it is ordered separately.

                        Step 2   Connect the end of the cable with the DB-9 connector (or USB Type-A) to the terminal or PC. If your terminal or PC has a console port that does not accommodate a DB-9 connector, you must provide an appropriate adapter for that port.
                        Step 3   To communicate with the router, start a terminal emulator application, such as Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal. This software should be configured with the following parameters:

                        • 9600 baud

                        • 8 data bits

                        • no flow control

                        • no parity

                        • 1 stop-bit

                        Powering Up the Cisco Router

                        Make certain that all card slots and compartments are closed off. Install blank faceplates on any empty slots. Always have power supply slots filled. If you leave a power supply slot uncovered, then you risk exposure to hazardous voltages on the power pins on the midplane.


                        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

                        After installing your Cisco Router and connecting cables, start the router and follow these steps:

                        Procedure
                          Step 1   Activate the DC power supply using the steps described in Activating the DC Power Supply.
                          Caution   

                          Do not press any keys on the keyboard until the messages stop and the SYS PWR LED is solid green. Any keys pressed during this time are interpreted as the first command typed when the messages stop, which might cause the router to power off and start over. It takes a few minutes for the messages to stop.

                          Note    This is only an example of what can display. The system boots differently depending upon the configuration that ships with your system.
                          Step 2   Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (the process takes a few seconds), the Cisco Router RSP begins to initialize.
                          Note   

                          The boot image is located in a partition of the bootflash directory. Post initial system boot, depending on your requirement, you must configure the system boot variable to either bootflash:/Image/packages.conf (for sub-package mode boot) or bootflash:/Image/image_name (for consolidated mode boot). For more information about software package modes, see the Installing and Upgrading Software section in the High Availability Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Release 3S (ASR 900).

                          Configuring the Cisco Router at Startup

                          This section explains how to create a basic running configuration for your Cisco Router.


                          Note
                          You need to acquire the correct network addresses from your system administrator or consult your network plan to determine correct addresses before you can complete the router configuration.

                          Before continuing the configuration process, check the current state of the router by entering the show version command. The show version command displays the release of Cisco IOS software that is available on the router.

                          For information on modifying the configuration after you create it, see the Cisco IOS configuration and command reference guides.

                          To configure a Cisco Router from the console, you must connect a terminal or terminal server to the console port on the Cisco Router RSP. To configure the Cisco Router using the management Ethernet port, you must have the router’s IP address available.

                          Accessing the CLI Using the Console

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

                          Procedure
                            Step 1   When your system is booting, type No at the prompt.

                            Example: 
                                     --- System Configuration Dialog ---
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: no
                            Step 2   Press Return to enter user EXEC mode. The following prompt appears: 
                             Router>
                            Step 3   From the user EXEC mode, enter the enable command as shown in the following example: 
                            Router> enable
                            Step 4   At the password prompt, enter your system password, as shown in the following example. If an enable password has not been set on your system, this step may be skipped. 
                             Password: enablepass

                            When your enable password is accepted, the privileged EXEC mode prompt is displayed: 

                             Router#

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

                            Step 5   To exit the console session, enter the quit command as shown in the following example:

                            Example: 
                            Router# quit

                            Configuring Global Parameters

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

                            Procedure
                              Step 1   Connect a console terminal to the console port, and then boot the router. For more information on connecting a console terminal, see Connecting Console Cables section.
                              Note    This is only an example of the output display; prompts may vary.

                              When you see this information, it means that you have successfully booted your router:

--- System Configuration Dialog ---
 
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes
 
 
Press RETURN to get started!
                              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 you are prompted about whether you want to enter the initial configuration dialog, enter yes.

                              Example: 
                              Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no] yes
 
At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help.
Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.
Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.
 
Basic management setup configures only enough connectivity for management of the system, extended setup will ask you 
to configure each interface on the system.

                              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 900 Series Router Software Configuration Guide.

                              Checking the Running Configuration Settings

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

                              Router# show running-config

                              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.

                              Saving the Running Configuration to NVRAM

                              To store the configuration or changes to your startup configuration in NVRAM, enter the copy running-config startup-config command at the Router# prompt: 

                              Router# copy running-config startup-config

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

                              Safely Powering Off the Cisco Router

                              This section explains how to shut down the Cisco Router. It is recommended that before turning off all power to the chassis, you issue the reload command. This insures that the operating system cleans up all the file systems. Once the reload operation is complete, then the Cisco Router can be powered off safely.

                              To remove power from the Cisco Router safely, follow this procedure and see the examples:

                              Procedure
                                Step 1   Slip on the ESD-preventive wrist strap that was included in the accessory kit.
                                Step 2   Enter the reload command.
                                Step 3   Confirm the reload command.

                                Example: 
                                Router# reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm]
*Sep 7 09:00:40.084 IST:%SYS-5-RELOAD: Reload requested by console. Reload Reason: Reload Command.
Aug 17 00:06:47.051 R0/0: %PMAN-5-EXITACTION: Process manager is exiting: prs exit with reload chassis code
                                Step 4   After confirming the reload command, wait until the system bootstrap message displays before powering off the system.

                                Example: 
                                System Bootstrap, Version 15.3(1r)S1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

                                Step 5   Remove any power cables from the Cisco Router.
                                1. For power supplies with a circuit breaker switch, position the switch to the Off (O) position.
                                2. For power supplies with a Standby switch, place the Standby switch in the Standby position.
                                  Note   

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