Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Power Supplies
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router supports AC and DC power supply options. The modular chassis configurations support the installation of two power supplies for redundancy. When an external power supply fails or is removed, the other power supply provides power requirements for the chassis. This allows you to hot-swap the power supply without impacting the functionality of the router.

Power Supplies for the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router
Each Cisco ASR 1001-X Router power supply provides 250 W of output power. The power supplies are used in a 1 + 1 redundant configuration. There is no input switch on the faceplate of the power supplies. A power supply is switched from Standby to On by way of a system chassis STANDBY/ON switch. When facing the rear of the chassis, power supply slot 0 (PS0) is to the left (next to the power supply standby switch) and power supply slot 1(PS1) is to the right.
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router supports the following power supplies:
- Cisco ASR 1001-X Router AC power supply—Provides 250 W output power with DC voltage output of +12 V. The AC power supply operates between +85 and +264 VAC. The AC power supply current shares on the 12 V output and is used in a dual hot pluggable configuration.
- Cisco ASR 1001-X Router DC power supply—Provides 242 W output power with DC voltage output of +12 V. The power supply operates between –40 and –72 VDC. The DC power supply current shares on the 12 V output and is used in a dual hot-pluggable configuration.
![]() Note | The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router can support two AC or two DC power supplies. Do not install mixed AC and DC power supply units in the same chassis. |
The following figure shows both the DC and AC power supplies for the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router.

Cisco ASR 1001-X Power Supply Fans
The fans in the power supply module of the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router are used for cooling the power supply module itself while system-level cooling is provided by four fans within the chassis. The power supplies do not depend on the system-level fans for cooling. Fan failure is determined by fan-rotation sensors.
![]() Note | The fans in the power supply modules will run as soon as the power supply is plugged in, even if the Standby switch is in the Standby position. |
Cisco ASR 1001-X Router AC Power Supply
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router has two AC power supplies in the rear of the chassis. The input receptacle is an IEC60320 C14 type of filtered AC inlet. The current rating on the connector is 10 A. The following figure shows the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router AC power supply.

Cisco ASR 1001-X Router DC Power Supply
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router DC input connector is a two-wire connector with connection polarity from left to right (when facing the unit) of negative (–) positive (+).
The power supply has a handle to be used for insertion and extraction. The module must be supported with one hand because of its length. The following figure shows the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router DC power supply.

AC/DC Power System Input Range and Voltage for the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router
The power supply DC Input Range is –40 to –72 VDC, and the AC Input Range is +85 to +264 VAC. The following table describes the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router power supply LEDs.
LED Color and State |
Description |
---|---|
OK - (Solid green) |
Input power is on and within the normal operating range. On the AC unit, the LED is solid green when the system in powered on. When the system is powered off, the LED will blink until the AC power is removed. |
OK - (Blinking Green at the rate of one blink per second) |
Input power that is within the normal operating range is being supplied, but the Standby switch is in the Standby position (and not in the On position). |
Fail - (Red) |
Power output has failed. |
Off |
Power supply is shut down. |
