Observe the following general safety precautions and recommendations in planning the source power requirements for the Cisco ASR 9000v, Cisco ASR 901, and Cisco ASR 903 routers:

• Check the power at your site before router installation (and periodically after installation) to ensure that 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

The Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf is one rack unit high. The Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf is typically connected to a fuse panel to provide distributed power for the Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf. The fuse panel is third-party equipment and is not described in this documentation. If you are unsure about the requirements or specifications for a fuse, consult the user documentation for the related equipment.

The Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf cannot operate independently. After connecting the Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf to the Cisco ASR 9000 Router or the Cisco CRS Line Card Chassis, the Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf is automatically discovered and registered.

The Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf supports Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet for ports numbered 0 to 43. Ports numbered 0 to 3 support 10 Gigabit Ethernet. By default, the four 10-GE ports numbered 0 to 3 are in IC mode and cannot be changed. The Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf also supports copper ports via copper SFPs and Active Cable copper SFP+ pluggables.

The Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf has redundant DC feeds. The Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf DC power supply can handle 48 V and 24 V. The 48-V power supply has both ANSI and ETSI versions. The 24-V power supply has ANSI version only.

The Cisco ASR 9000v satellite shelf has a removable fan tray and a local console port for onsite access and debugging.

Contained in a standard shelf-rack enclosure, the Cisco ASR 901 Router weighs approximately 10 pounds (4 kg). It measures 1.7 inches high x 17.4 inches wide x 8.25 inches deep (4.32 cm [or 1RU] x 44.2 cm x 21.0 cm). These dimensions do not include the rack-mount brackets.

You can mount the router in a standard (ETSI) 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack, a 600-mm ETSI rack, or a 23-inch ETSI rack.

The Cisco ASR 901 Router as a satellite shelf includes the following hardware features:

• Four ports of 100/1000 copper Ethernet including auto-MDIX (RJ-45 connector)
• Four ports of SFP only

The Cisco ASR 903 Router as a satellite shelf supports the following Ethernet interface modules:

• 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet SFP Interface Module
• 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 Interface Module
• 1-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet XFP Interface Module

The Cisco ASR 903 Router as a satellite shelf can support up to two 10 Gigabit Ethernet XFP ports (restricted to slots 0 and 1) and up to 31 Gigabit Ethernet (either RJ-45 or SFP) ports (8-port interface modules in slots 2 through 5). In slot 5, only seven ports can be activated. Port 0 on slot 5 cannot be used as a satellite port because it is used for the internal FPGA.
