Airflow in the Cisco NCS 1014 Chassis

The Cisco NCS 1014 chassis has a front-to-back airflow scheme. The air inlet is at the front side of the chassis and the exhaust is on the rear side. The fan modules cool down the line cards. Ensure that no object obstructs or impedes the airflow as it can lead to reduced airflow in the system, causing components to operate at a higher temperature.

This image shows the front-rear airflow direction in the Cisco NCS 1014 chassis.

Cooling System

The Cisco NCS 1014 cooling system actively regulates the chassis temperature using the three field-replaceable fan trays and the built-in fans within the PSU units. This system implements cooling in two different airflow paths:

  • Line Cards Cooling

    The three fan modules enable cooling for the line cards. The software monitors the chassis temperature and adjusts the fan speed according to the ambient temperature range.

  • Controller Card Cooling

    The internal fans within the two PSUs cool the controller card. If any critical alarms arise due to controller temperature, the software overrides the PSU fan speed.


    Note


    For normal operating conditions, the software does not control the PSU fans.

During the power cycle, each fan runs at maximum rotations per minute. After the chassis boots up, the fans return to their normal speed according to the ambient temperature.

Cooling profiles of the NCS 1014 chassis

Beginning with Release 25.2.1, the NCS 1014 chassis supports the programmable NCS1K14-FAN-P fan module, which runs two cooling profiles. The programmable fan changes its cooling profile depending on the installed line cards and pluggable modules. By default, the programmable fan uses the low-power, low-cooling profile.

Cooling profiles work only when you fill all fan slots with programmable fan modules.

The cooling profiles of the fans change based on the status of the NCS 1014 chassis. During controller Online Insertion and Removal (OIR), line card OIR, fan OIR, or fan failure, the fans run at maximum cooling profile speed.


Note


During the INFRA POWER CYCLE, the system runs the fans at maximum speed for the low-cooling profile. Therefore, perform the INFRA POWER CYCLE only when the ambient temperature is less than or equal to 40°C. Perform line card or fan OIR, line card or fan replacement, or any software or FPD upgrade only at an inlet temperature less than or equal to 40°C. Use show environment0/Rack to check inlet temperature.


Legacy fans support a static cooling profile, while programmable fans support a dynamic cooling profile. The NCS 1014 offers three profiles: low cooling, high cooling, and legacy cooling. The inlet temperature sensors, SA_TEMP_CHASSIS_INLET0 and SA_TEMP_CHASSIS_INLET1, determine when to increase or decrease fan speed. For more information on fan RPM for each cooling profile, refer Fan modules.

Programmable fans installed in pre-Release 25.2.1

If you install the programmable fans in a release earlier than 25.2.1, where they are not supported, the fan units do not appear in the show inventory output. The system raises the Fan tray absent alarm even though the fans continue to run in the chassis. It is recommended not to install the programmable fan units in the chassis running earlier releases.

Mixed fan configuration

A mixed fan configuration involves installing both legacy and programmable fan units together.

If both legacy and programmable fans are installed in the NCS 1014 fan slots during live traffic or card configuration, the system raises the CONFIG MISMATCH alarm. To clear the alarm, equip the fan slots with either the legacy or programmable fans. The mixed fan configuration is allowed only for a limited time during a fan upgrade. In this configuration, the legacy fan runs at 14,500 rpm and the programmable fan runs at 17,000 rpm.

Feature Description

NCS1K14-FAN-P Enhanced Fan Profile Support

Cisco IOS XR Release 25.2.1

The NCS1K14-FAN-P provides enhanced fan profile management for the NCS 1014 platform, enabling improved power efficiency and flexibility for various use cases.

The system automatically adjusts the fan profile based on the line cards inserted in the chassis. For example,

  • if one or more transponder cards are detected, the fans automatically maintain a high-power fan profile.

  • if only a combination of NCS1K14-EDFA2, NCS1K14-CCMD-16-x, or filler cards is present, the fans automatically maintain a low-power fan profile.

This dynamic fan profile enables optimal power consumption for Metro Open Line System (MOLS) 2.0 and NCS1K14-CCMD-16-x configurations.

Fan cooling profiles provide appropriate cooling for the NCS 1014 chassis based on the installed line cards. This dynamic cooling profile enables optimal power consumption for MOLS 2.0 and NCS1K14-CCMD-16-x configurations.

Release Information

Feature Description

NCS1K-MD-32x-CE patch panel

Cisco IOS XR Release 25.1.1

The MD-32x-CE patch panels are passive AAWG modules with 32 channels each. They support 150-GHz channel spacing, with a 75-GHz shift between ODD and EVEN panels. Combined, they offer 64 channels with 75-GHz spacing. Each panel supports wide optical pass-band and acts as an add/drop unit for 32 channels at 140 GBd.

The supported panels are:

  • NCS1K-MD-32E-CE

  • NCS1K-MD-320-CE


Note


NCS1K-MD-32x-CE is referred as MD-32x-CE patch panel.


The MD-32x-CE patch panels are a pair of passive Athermal Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AAWG) based modules. Each mux/demux panel has 32 channels and works as an add/drop unit for the NCS 1001 and NCS 1014 optical line systems. Each mux/demux panel allows the multiplexing and demultiplexing of 32 channels with 150-GHz spacing. 75-GHz frequency shift exists between the ODD and EVEN panels. When both panels are used on the same optical line systems (NCS 1001 or NCS 1014), the combined capacity becomes 64 channels with 75-GHz spacing. Each mux/demux panel provides a wide optical pass-band support. When used as a standalone, each panel acts as an add/drop unit for 32 channels at 140 GBd.

Characteristics of MD-32x-CE

The MD32x-CE patch panel operates in C-band. It is the enhanced version of the NCS1K-MD-32O/E-C patch panel.

Feature Description

NCS1K14-FAN-P Programmable Fan Support

Cisco IOS XR Release 25.2.1

The NCS1K14-FAN-P programmable fans provide dynamic cooling support to the NCS 1014 chassis. The programmable fans change cooling profiles based on the status of the NCS 1014 chassis, installed line cards, and pluggable modules.

The cooling profiles of the programmable fans are:

  • Low cooling

  • High cooling

The programmable fans run at a low cooling profile, consuming approximately 1 kW of power.

Fan modules are field-replaceable components in the Cisco NCS 1014 chassis that:
  • maintains front-to-rear airflow to cool down the line cards, and

  • is available in both legacy and programmable versions to support adaptive cooling, and

  • occupies three fan slots at the rear of chassis to host the fan modules: FAN0, FAN1, and FAN2.

Redundant cooling design of the fan modules

Each fan module (NCS1K14-FAN and NCS1K14-FAN-P) has two counterrotating fans: an inlet fan and an outlet fan. Each fan has its own power rail with inrush controller to increase reliability. These counterrotating fans provide these benefits:

  • Higher back-pressure than a single fan in each module

  • Continued operation with five out of six fans if a single fan fails

  • Prevention of airflow inversion by the remaining fan in the same module if a fan fails


Note


The Cisco NCS 1004 fan modules and the Cisco NCS 1014 fan modules look identical. However, the Cisco NCS 1014 chassis does not support the Cisco NCS 1004 fan modules physically.


The legacy and programmable fans have the same form factor and look identical. The programmable fan displays the PID "NCS1K14-FAN-P" above the cross handle, and the letter "P" on an orange square appears on the side of the cross handle.

From R25.1.1, the NCS1K14-FAN-P fan module is a cooling option for the NCS 1014 chassis and its line cards. The NCS1K14-FAN-P is a programmable fan that provides dynamic cooling profiles for the chassis to save power. The default cooling profile is the lower cooling profile, which consumes approximately 1 kW of power.

You can check the speed of the running fan using the show environment fan command.

Power Supply Units (PSUs)

The redundant, field-replaceable PSUs power the Cisco NCS 1014 chassis. The chassis has slots for two PSUs at the rear side. Each PSU supports up to 2.5 kW per system.

The PSUs have internal fans to regulate the temperature inside the PSUs. The fans in the PSU receive power from the main PSU or the standby PSU. The PSUs are available in reverse airflow (RAF) direction meaning the airflow direction is from the output connector to the input connector.

To ensure the necessary fan redundancy, the two PSUs implement a protection mechanism. When the mechanism detects a single PSU failure or if a PSU fails to power up, it triggers all the operational fans to run at maximum speed. This mechanism activates without intervention from the software.

The Cisco NCS 1014 chassis supports the following PSUs:

  • NCS1K4-AC-PSU-2

    NCS1K4-AC-PSU-2 is a 2.5-kW AC to DC, power-factor-corrected (PFC) power supply that converts standard AC power into a main output of 12 VDC.

    Figure 18. NCS1K4-AC-PSU-2
    This image displays a NCS1K4-AC-PSU-2 AC power supply unit.
  • NCS1K4-DC-PSU-2

    NCS1K4-DC-PSU-2 is a 2.5-kW DC to DC, PFC power supply with 12 VDC (main) and 12 VDC (standby) output.

    Figure 19. NCS1K4-DC-PSU-2
    This image displays a NCS1K4-DC-PSU-2 DC power supply unit.
  • NCS1K4-AC-PSU

    NCS1K4-AC-PSU is a 2-kW AC to DC, PFC power supply that converts standard AC power into a main output of 12 VDC.

  • NCS1K4-DC-PSU

    NCS1K4-DC-PSU is a 2-kW DC to DC, PFC power supply with 12 VDC (main) and 12 VDC (standby) output.

Air Filter

The air filter removes dust from the air that the fan units draw into the chassis. If the air filters become damaged, dirty, or clogged with dust, you must replace them with a new air filter. Failure to replace a compromised air filter can result in insufficient air circulation through the chassis and temperature-related environmental alarms.

The Cisco NCS 1014 air filter has the following components:

  • Two air filter side brackets

  • One air filter frame

  • One air filter

You must order all the three components for the first-time installation. After first-time installation of the air filter unit, replace only the air filter. You reuse the air filter side brackets and the frame.


Note


First inspection of the air filter must be performed six months after the first installation of the air filter. Air filters must be inspected every three months after the initial six-month inspection and replaced if found to be dirty. Do not reuse the cleaned air filters. Replace them with a new air filter. We recommend having spare air filters in stock.
