Power Supply Features
The Cisco ASR 903 Router support AC and DC power supplies. For more information about installing the Cisco ASR 903 Router power supplies, see the Installing the Power Supply.
To estimate the required power supply, use the Cisco Power Calculator.
The power sections provide more information about the power supply:
Redundancy
The Cisco ASR 903 Router chassis includes a slot for an 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. The Cisco ASR 903 Router supports current sharing between the power supplies.
A redundant power supply on the Cisco ASR 903 Router is recommended. Each power supply should be connected to separate independent power sources to ensure that the router maintains power in the event of a power interruption caused by an electrical failure, a wiring fault, or a tripped circuit breaker.
CautionTo comply with IEC 61850-3 (voltage interruptions), redundant power supplies with separately derived power feeds are required.
Dying Gasp
The Cisco ASR 903 Router DC power supply supports the Dying Gasp feature, which 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. With the DC power supply, the router supports a minimum input power loss detection time of 2 milliseconds (DC) and continued operation of at least 6 milliseconds (DC) after the notification.
Note
Continued DC power supply operation may vary for voltages other than +24/-48V.
Note
Dying Gasp is not supported on the ASR 900 RSP3 module for 1200W DC power supply.Status LEDs
LEDs are also provided on each power supply to indicate the status of the input power and the health of the power supply. For more information about the LEDs on the Cisco ASR 903 Router, see the Troubleshoting section in the Cisco ASR 903 and ASR 903U Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide.
Fan Tray
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
It contains an alarm port with four external alarm inputs
Dust Filter (A903-FAN-F)
The dust filter (see Figure 1-7 ) on the fan tray is a quadrafoam 45PPI filter which is 85 percent dust resistant. A dummy cover (A903-FAN-F-B) secures the dust filter in the chassis. For installing the fan filter, see Installing the Dust Filter .
Note
Use the pull tab provided to easily access the filter.Air Plenum
Air Plenum or air baffle assembly (see Figure 3-7 ) is used change the air flow pattern of the unit. When the router is installed with the plenum, the air flow pattern is changed from side-side to front-back. The air flow front-back pattern provides a rack installation bay with a cool front zone and hot rear zone.
Note
When the air plenum and the fan filter are installed in the chassis, the system operating temperature is limited to 55 degrees Celsius.The air plenum is available from GAW (www.GawTechnology.net). To order an air plenum, contact the Sales and Marketing support staff at GAW.
RSP Modules
The Cisco ASR 903 Router is designed to use up to two RSP modules to handle the data plane, network timing, and control plane functionalities for the router. The RSP configuration allows you to use Cisco IOS software to control chassis management, redundancy, external management, and system status indications on the router.
RSP features include:
- Loading software onto processor-based interface modules
- Redundant RSP management—The RSP manages detection of RSPs, exchange of health and status information, role negotiation, function for detection, health and status exchange, role negotiation
- Packet processing
- Traffic management, including buffering, queuing, and scheduling, Ethernet MAC functions
- Network clocking functions including phase and time-of-day for BITS, 1 PPS, 10 MHz, and 1588 PTP clock references.
- Storage of software images, system configuration, OBFL, SysLog
- PTP packet processing including IEEE 1588-2008 for recovering network timing (frequency, phase, and time) from upstream PTP clocks, for generating PTP frequency and phase references as inputs to the SETS, and for distributing them to downstream PTP clocks
- External management interfaces (RS232 console, management ENET, USB console, USB storage) and system status LED indicators
Supported RSP Features
The RSP provides the following features on the Cisco router:
- Centralized data plane, timing, and control plane functions for the system
- High-level control of interface modules
- Management functionalities for the router
- Control plane (host) CPU and associated memory in which IOS-XE and platform control software runs
- 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 and hot-swap capabilities
RSP Redundancy
The Cisco ASR 903 Router chassis includes two RSP slots to allow for redundant RSPs. When the router uses redundant RSPs, one RSP operates in the active mode and the other operates in the hot standby mode. Removal or failure of the active RSP results in an automatic switchover to the standby RSP.
Note
If you are using redundant RSPs, both the RSPs must be of the same type because a mixed configuration of two different RSP types is not supported.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.
Note
Using a single GPS antenna input for both RSPs requires usage of external splitters.
Warning
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 903 Router interface modules are a field-replaceable units. In addition to the ports provided on an RSP, the Cisco ASR 903 Router supports the following interface modules:
Note
For information about supported interface modules, see the Release Notes for the Cisco ASR 903 Series Aggregation Services Router.Installing the Router in a Rack
The following sections describe how to install the Cisco ASR 903 Router in a rack:
Installing the Chassis Brackets
ProcedureThe chassis is shipped with mounting brackets that can be installed on the front or rear of the chassis. To install the brackets on the front of the chassis, perform these steps:
What to Do NextRepeat Step 2 and Step 3 for the other bracket.
Installing the Router Chassis in the Rack
Procedure
Installing the Chassis Ground Connection
ProcedureBefore you connect the power or turn on the power to the Cisco ASR 903 Router, you must provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection to your router.
This section describes how to ground the Cisco ASR 903 Router chassis. The router provides two locations for attaching a 2-hole grounding lug according to the rack-mounting brackets you use to install the router.
Caution
Before making connections to the router, ensure that you disconnect the power at the circuit breaker. Otherwise, severe injury to you or damage to the router may occur.
Warning
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024
Warning
Use copper conductors only. Statement 1025
Warning
When installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Statement 42
This unit is to be installed in a restrictive access location and must be permanently grounded to minimum 6 AWG copper ground wire.
Step 1 If your ground wire is insulated, use a wire-stripping tool to strip the ground wire to 0.5 inch ± 0.02 inch (12.7 mm ±0.5 mm) ( as shown in the figure below). Figure 6. Stripping a Ground WireStep 2 Slide the open end of your 2-hole ground lug over the exposed area of the ground wire. Step 3 Using a crimping tool (as specified by the ground lug manufacturer), crimp the ground lug to the ground wire as shown in the figure below. Figure 7. Crimping a Ground Lug onto the Ground WireStep 4 Use a Phillips head screwdriver to attach the 2-hole ground lug and wire assembly to the router with the 2 pan-head Phillips head screws. For a 19-inch EIA rack, attach the 2-hole ground lug to the rear of the router. Step 5 Connect the other end of the ground wire to a suitable grounding point at your site.
Installing the Fan Tray
ProcedureThe fan tray is a modular unit that provides cooling to the Cisco ASR 903 Router. Follow these steps to install the fan tray in the chassis:
Step 1 Orient the fan tray so that the captive screws are on the left side of the fan tray’s front panel. The figure below shows how to orient the fan tray. Step 2 Guide the fan tray into the chassis until it is fully seated.
Caution The fans are exposed on the left side of the fan tray. Keep your fingers, clothing, and jewelry away from the fans. Always handle the fan tray by the handle.
Note When installing the cabling to the RSPs, we recommend that you leave a service loop of extra cabling sufficient to allow for fan tray removal. Step 3 Secure the fan tray to the chassis using the attached captive installation screws. The recommended maximum torque is 5.5 in.-lb (.62 N-m). This completes the procedure for installing or replacing the fan tray in a Cisco ASR 903 Router.
Installing an RSP Module
Procedure
Step 1 Choose a slot for the module. 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 . 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.
Caution If the top slot already has an RSP module installed, and you install a second RSP module in the slot below it, be careful not to damage the EMI gasket of the bottom RSP module against the ejector levers of the top RSP during insertion.
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 toward the open slot, which reduces the size of the opening and makes it difficult to install the new module.
Note Blank module filler plates (Cisco part number A900-RSPA-BLANK) should be installed in any empty chassis slots to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain consistent airflow through the chassis.
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 Installing Dust Caps section in the Cisco ASR 903 and ASR 903U Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide.
Installing an Interface Module
Procedure
Step 1 Before inserting an interface module, make sure that the chassis is grounded. Step 2 To insert the interface module, carefully align the edges of the interface module between the upper and lower edges of the router slot. Step 3 Carefully slide the interface module into the router slot until the interface module makes contact with the backplane. The figure below shows how to install the interface module. Step 4 Tighten the locking thumbscrews on both sides of the interface module. The recommended maximum torque is 5.5 in.-lb (.62 N-m). Step 5 Connect all the cables to each interface module.
Note Close all unused SFP ports using SFP dust caps to prevent dust from accumulating inside the cage. The dust caps (Cisco part number A900-DCAP-SFP-S= (24 caps per package) or Cisco part number A900-DCAP-SFP-L= (240 caps per package)) can be ordered from Cisco.
Note 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface modules on the A900-RSP1 modules and A900-RSP2A-64 module are not supported in slots 4 and 5.
Note Close all unused RJ-45, SFP, XFP, and QSFP ports on the interface module using the appropriate dust caps to prevent dust from accumulating inside the cage. For information on dust caps, see Installing Dust Caps section in the Cisco ASR 903 and ASR 903U Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide.
Caution Do not use interface module and power supply ejector handles to lift the chassis; using the handles to lift the chassis can deform or damage the handles.
Installing the Power Supply
The Cisco ASR 903 Router provides the following power supply:
The DC power supply provides option to connect with two different sources (dual feed); positive (+) and negative (-) are marked on the PSU terminals.
Each power supply provides a dual primary input power connection.
Caution
The power supply must be wired before plugging the power supply in the chassis. Ensure the branch circuit breaker is turned off. Only after installing the power supply in the chassis, should the branch circuit breaker be turned on. The branch circuit breaker must be turned off before unplugging the power supply.Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source. Statement 10
Caution
Do not use interface module and power supply ejector handles to lift the chassis; using the handles to lift the chassis can deform or damage the handles.

Connecting the Cisco ASR 903 Router to the Network
Note
When installing the cabling to the RSPs, we recommend that you leave a service loop of extra cabling sufficient to allow for fan tray removal.Connecting Console Cables
Note
You cannot use the USB and RS232 console ports at the same time; if you insert the USB cable into the router, the RS232 port is disabled.Connecting to the Serial Port using Microsoft Windows
ProcedureThis procedure shows how to connect to the serial port using Microsoft Windows.
Note
Install the USB device driver before establishing a physical connection between the router and the PC, by using the USB Console cable plugged into the USB serial port. Otherwise, the connection will fail. For more information, see the Installing the Cisco Microsoft Windows USB Device Driver section in the Cisco ASR 903 and ASR 903U Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide.
Step 1 Connect the end of the console cable with the RJ45 connector to the light blue console port on the router. or Connect a USB Type A-to-Type A cable to the USB console port as shown in the figure below . If you are using the USB serial port for the first time on a Windows-based PC, install the USB driver now according to the instructions in the following sections.
Note You cannot use the USB port and the EIA port concurrently. See the Connecting to the Auxiliary Port section in the Cisco ASR 903 and ASR 903U Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide. When the USB port is used it takes priority over the RJ45 EIA port.
Note The USB Type A-to-Type A cable is not included with the Cisco ASR 903 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:
Powering Up the Cisco ASR 903 Router
ProcedureMake 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 router; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the router. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029
After installing your Cisco ASR 903 Router and connecting cables, start the router and follow these steps:
Step 1 Activate the DC power supply as described in the Activating the DC Power Supply section in the Cisco ASR 903 and ASR 903U Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide.
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.
Step 2 Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (the process takes a few seconds), the Cisco ASR 903 Router RSP begins to initialize.
Note This is only an example of what can display. The system boots differently depending upon the configuration that ships with your system.

The LEDs on the shared port adapter go on and off in an irregular sequence. Once the router has booted, the green STATUS LED comes on and stays on.
Verifying the Front Panel LEDs
The front-panel indicator LEDs provide power, activity, and status information useful during bootup. For more detailed information about the LEDs, see Troubleshooting in the Cisco ASR 903 and ASR 903U Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide.
Verifying the Hardware Configuration
To display and verify the hardware features, enter the following commands:
Checking Hardware and Software Compatibility
To check the minimum software requirements of the Cisco IOS software with the hardware installed on your Cisco ASR 903 Router, Cisco maintains the Software Advisor tool on Cisco.com. The tool provides the minimum Cisco IOS requirements for individual hardware modules and components.
Note
To access this tool, you must have a Cisco.com login account.To access the Software Advisor, click Login at Cisco.com, type Software Advisor in the search box, and click Go. Click the link for the Software Advisor Tool.
Choose a product family or enter a specific product number to search for the minimum supported software needed for your hardware.
Configuring the Cisco ASR 903 Router at Startup
This section explains how to create a basic running configuration for your Cisco ASR 903 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 ASR 903 Router from the console, you must connect a terminal or terminal server to the console port on the Cisco ASR 903 Router RSP. To configure the Cisco ASR 903 Router using the management Ethernet port, you must have the router's IP address available.
Using the Console Interface
Procedure
Step 1 Your system is booting and if you answer No, at the prompt:
Example:--- System Configuration Dialog --- Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: noStep 2 Press Return to enter user EXEC mode. The following prompt appears: Router>
Step 3 From 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. If an enable password has not been set on your system, this step may be skipped. The following example shows entry of the password called enablepass : Password: enablepass
Step 5 When your enable password is accepted, the privileged EXEC mode prompt appears: # Step 6 You now have access to the CLI in privileged EXEC mode and you can enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks. To exit the console session, enter the quit command as shown in the following example:
Example:Router#quit
Configuring Global Parameters
ProcedureWhen 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:
Step 1 Connect a console terminal to the console port, and then boot the router.
Note This is only an example of the output display; prompts may vary. When you see this information, you have successfully booted your router:

[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 asked if you would like 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 903 Router Software Configuration Guide.
