The Cisco ASR 902 Router provides a feature that allows you to remove and replace an interface module without powering down the router. This feature, called hot-swapping or Online Insertion and Removal (OIR), allows you to remove and replace a redundant module without disrupting router operation.
Note |
The Cisco ASR 902 Router does not support hot-swapping an interface module with another module of a different type. For example, you cannot swap an SFP Gigabit Ethernet module with a copper Gigabit Ethernet module without disrupting router operation. |
Note |
If you perform OIR on an interface module and move the module to a different slot, the router does not retain the module configuration; you must reconfigure the interface module. |
When you remove or insert a redundant module while the router is powered on and running, the router does the following:
The router runs diagnostic tests on any new interfaces and the test results indicate the following:
Caution |
To avoid erroneous failure messages, note the current configuration of all the interfaces before you remove or replace an interface module, and allow at least 2 minutes for the system to reinitialize after a module has been removed or replaced. This time is recommended in order to allow for synchronization between components within the interface module and for synchronization with the RSP. |
The Cisco ASR 902 Router provides the choice of two different power supplies:
The DC power supply uses 3 position terminal block-style connector with positive latching/securing and labeled connections for +24/48V, GRD, -24/48V. The terminal block connector is of suitable size to carry the appropriate AWG wire size to handle the input current of the power supply. No ON/OFF switch is provided.
The power supplies are hot-swappable. They are enclosed to prevent exposure to high voltages, and therefore, no power cable interlock is required. However the power supplies are automatically shut down when removed from the chassis. The power supplies are rated to deliver 975 W (~81 A) to the other FRUs in the system, and are rated for operation at 5ºC above the chassis operating temperature

The fan tray includes an alarm port that maps to 2 dry contact alarm inputs.
The pins on the alarm port are passive signals, and can be configured as Normally Open (an alarm is generated when current is interrupted) or Normally Closed (an alarm is generated when a circuit is established) alarms. You can configure each alarm input as critical, major, or minor. An alarm triggers alarm LEDs and alarm messages. The relay contacts can be controlled through an appropriate third-party relay controller. The open/close configuration is an option controlled in Cisco IOS.
Warning |
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety, connect the alarm ports only to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cable. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling.
