Site Wiring Guidelines
When planning the location of the router, consider distance limitations for signaling, electromagnetic
interference (EMI), and connector compatibility. If the wiring is run for any significant distance in an
electromagnetic field, interference can occur between the field and the signals on the wires. Poor wiring
can cause:
• Radio interference emanating from the wires.
• Strong EMI, especially when caused by lightning or radio transmitters. EMI can destroy the signal
drivers and receivers in the router, and can even create an electrical hazard by conducting power
surges through lines and into equipment.
NoteTo predict and remedy strong EMI, you may need to consult with experts in radio frequency
interference (RFI).
Site wiring is unlikely to emit radio interference if you use twisted-pair cable with a good distribution
of grounding conductors. Use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data
signal, when applicable.
Give special consideration to the effect of a lightning strike in your vicinity, especially if the wiring
exceeds the recommended distances, or if it passes between buildings. The electromagnetic pulse (EMP)
caused by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can easily induce enough energy into unshielded
conductors to destroy electronic devices. If you have experienced EMP problems in the past, you may
want to consult experts in electrical surge suppression and shielding.
Most data centers cannot resolve infrequent but potentially catastrophic problems without pulse meters
and other special equipment. In addition, these problems can take a great deal of time to identify and
resolve. We recommend that you take the necessary precautions to avoid these problems by providing a
properly grounded and shielded environment, with special attention to issues of electrical surge
suppression.

Site Requirement Guidelines
When selecting a site to install the router, observe the following guidelines:
• Dust-free area—The site should be as dust-free as possible. Dusty environments can clog the air
filter or power supply intake vents, reducing the cooling air flow through the router. Clogged filters
and vents can cause an overtemperature condition in the router.
• Unrestricted air-flow—Allow sufficient air-flow by maintaining a minimum of 6 in (15.24 cm) of
clearance at both the inlet and exhaust openings on the chassis and the power modules. If the air flow
is blocked or restricted, or if the inlet air is too warm, an overtemperature condition can occur within
the router. Under extreme conditions, the environmental monitoring system powers off the router to
protect the components.

Telco 2-Post Rack
Item a in Figure 1-17 shows a telco-style rack. The telco-style rack is an open frame consisting of two
posts tied together by a cross-bar at the top and a floor stand at the bottom.
This type of rack is usually secured to the floor and sometimes to an overhead structure or wall for
additional stability. The router chassis can be installed in the telco-style rack only in a front-mounted
position.
In the front-mounted position, you secure the chassis rack-mounting brackets directly to the rack posts
(see Figure 1-18 for the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Figure 1-19 for the Cisco ASR 9006 Router, and
Figure 1-20 for the Cisco ASR 9904 Router).Two rear mounting brackets are provided for mounting the
Cisco ASR 9010 Router in a 2-post rack.
NoteThe mounting brackets on the Cisco ASR 9006 Router chassis have a pair of holes at the top and bottom
of each bracket; the remaining openings in the brackets are slots. When mounting the router in a 2-post
rack, you must first use the holes to locate and position the brackets on the rack. Insert the screws through
the bracket holes into the rack before inserting screws through the bracket slots.

Item c in Figure 1-17 shows a free-standing 4-post enclosed rack with perforated sides and two mounting
posts in the front.
CautionDo not install the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router in any type of fully enclosed rack that does not have
the required perforated sides or doors; the router requires an unobstructed flow of cooling air to maintain
acceptable operating temperatures for its internal components. Installing the router in any type of fully
enclosed rack without proper perforation could disrupt the air-flow, trap heat next to the chassis, and
cause an overtemperature condition inside the router.

Site Requirement Guidelines
Temperature and Humidity Guidelines
The operating and nonoperating environmental site requirements are listed in Tab l e A-2. The router
normally operates within the ranges listed in the table; however, if a temperature measurement is
approaching a minimum or maximum parameter, it indicates a potential problem. Maintain normal
operation by anticipating and correcting environmental anomalies before they approach critical values
by properly planning and preparing your site before you install the router.
Power Connection Guidelines
You can configure the router with either an AC input or DC input power subsystem, so the site power
source requirements differ depending on the power subsystem in your router. Ensure all power
connection wiring conforms to the rules and regulations in the National Electrical Code (NEC) as well
as local codes.
CautionEach Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router is powered by only one type of input: AC or DC. A hybrid (AC+DC)
power configuration is not supported.

AC-Powered Routers
AC power modules operate in the input range of 180 VAC to 264 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz (nominal input level
of 200 to 240 VAC). Refer to Tab le 1-3 and Tabl e 1-4 for the minimum required AC service for version
1 and version 2 power modules.
Power redundancy requirements vary based on the system configuration (number and type of line cards,
etc.). AC-powered systems are 2N protected. A minimum of two power supplies are required for
redundant operation. Refer to the Cisco ASR 9000 Power Calculator at the following URL to determine
actual redundancy requirements for any given configuration: http://tools.cisco.com/cpc/launch.jsp.
Each of the AC power inputs requires a separate dedicated branch circuit. Note that the circuit breaker
and fuse lockout procedures should follow the rules and regulations in the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and any local codes. For a list of the nominal and acceptable value ranges for source AC power,
see Tabl e A- 5.
Table 1-3 lists the AC input power cord options, specifications, and Cisco product numbers for the AC
input version 1 power supply modules. Tabl e 1- 4 lists the AC input power cord options, specifications,
and Cisco product numbers for the AC input version 2 power supply modules.
NoteBefore connecting AC input power cords to the power system, make sure that the power cords are not
energized.

Connections to DC power modules are rated at 60 A maximum. The system accepts a nominal input voltage
of –48 VDC with an operational tolerance range of –40 VDC to –72 VDC. One dedicated, commensurately
rated DC power source is required for each power module connection.
Power redundancy requirements vary based on the system configuration (number and type of line cards,
etc.). DC-powered systems are N+1 protected. A minimum of two power supplies are required for
redundant operation. Refer to the Cisco ASR 9000 Power Calculator to determine actual redundancy
requirements for any given configuration. See: http://tools.cisco.com/cpc/launch.jsp.
Power connections to the power tray for each DC power module requires four cables: two source cables
and two return cables. In addition, each DC power tray requires one earth ground, so the minimum
number of cables for connecting a single DC power module in a power tray is five (two source, two
return, one ground).
information see NEBS Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines, page 1-52.
Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation
For DC power cables, we recommend that you use 60-A-rated, high-strand-count copper wire cables.The
length of the cables depends on your router location from the source power. DC power cables are not
available from Cisco, but they are available from any commercial cable vendor.
You must terminate DC power cables using cable lugs at the power tray end. Ensure that the lugs are
dual-hole and that they fit over M6 terminal studs at 0.625-inch (15.88-mm) centers. For #4 AWG cable,
use Panduit part number LCD4-14AF-L or equivalent; for #6 AWG, use Panduit part number
LCD6-14AF-L or equivalent.

information see the NEBS Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines, page 1-52.
The color coding of source DC power cable leads depends on the color coding of the site DC power
source. Because there is no color code standard for source DC wiring, be sure that power source cables
are connected to the power modules using the proper positive (+) and negative (–) polarity:
• In some cases, the source DC cable leads might have a positive (+) or a negative (–) label. This is a
relatively safe indication of the polarity, but you must verify the polarity by measuring the voltage
between the DC cable leads. Be sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) cable leads match the
positive (+) and negative (–) labels on the power module when making the measurement.
• Green (or green and yellow) cable typically indicates that it is a ground cable.
CautionDC power modules contain reverse voltage protection circuitry to prevent damage to the power module
if it detects a reverse polarity condition. No damage should occur from reverse polarity, but you should
correct a reverse polarity condition immediately.
For a list of the nominal and acceptable value ranges for source DC power, see “Appendix A.”

NEBS Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines
Although the router chassis requires a safety earth ground connection as part of the power cabling to
power modules, you must permanently connect the central office ground system or interior equipment
grounding system to one of the three supplemental bonding and grounding connections on the back or
side of the router chassis to meet Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) requirements as well as
safety compliance requirements. These grounding points are referred to as the NEBS bonding and
grounding points.
NoteThese bonding and grounding connections satisfy the Telcordia NEBS requirements for supplemental
bonding and grounding connections. If you are not installing the router in a NEBS environment, you can
choose to bypass these guidelines and rely on the safety earth ground connections to the AC or DC power
modules.

To ensure a satisfactory supplemental ground connection to the router, use the following parts:
• One grounding lug, which has two M6 bolt holes with 0.625- to 0.75-inch (15.86- to 19.05-mm)
spacing between them, and a wire receptacle able to accept a 2-6 AWG or larger, multistrand copper
wire. This lug is similar to those used for the DC input power supply leads (Figure 1-52).
• Two 10-32 round-head screws and two locking washers (nickel-plated brass is ideal).
• One grounding wire. Although we recommend at least 2-6 AWG multistrand copper wire, the wire
diameter and length depend on your router location and site environment.
NoteThese parts are not available from Cisco, but they are available from commercial vendors.

RSP and RP Port Connection Guidelines
This section contains detailed cabling and signal information for interface and port connections to the
Route System Processor (RSP) or Route Processor (RP) cards. It also provides information for Ethernet
routing and equipment.
NoteThe generic term RSP card refers to the RSP-440, RSP-440 Lite, and RSP-880 cards, unless otherwise
specified.
CautionPorts labeled Ethernet, SYNC, CONSOLE, and AUX are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV
circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits.
Console Port and Auxiliary Port Connection Guidelines
Each RSP/RP card has two EIA/TIA-232 (formerly RS232) serial RJ-45 connection ports:
• Console port—RJ-45 interface for connecting a data terminal device to the router, which you need
to perform the initial configuration of the router.
RSP and RP Port Connection Guidelines
• Auxiliary port—RJ-45 interface for connecting a modem.
NoteThe console and auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports. Ensure that devices connected to
these ports are capable of asynchronous transmission.
For the console and auxiliary port locations, see Route Processor Overview, page 4-19.

RSP and RP Port Connection Guidelines
Console Port Signals
The console port is an RJ-45 interface for connecting a terminal to the router. The console port does not
support modem control or hardware flow control and requires a straight-through RJ-45 cable.
Before connecting a terminal to the console port, check the terminal setting for the data transmission
rate, in bits per second (bps). The terminal transmission rate setting must match the default rate of the
console port, which is 9600 bps. Set the terminal to these operational values: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no
parity, 2 stop bits (9600 8N2).
Table 1-5 lists the signals used on the console port.

Management LAN Ports Connection Guidelines
Each RSP/RP card has two RJ-45 media-dependent interface (MDI) Ethernet management LAN ports:
MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1. These ports are used for IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps), or
1000BASE-T (1000 Mbps) Ethernet connections. For the management port locations, see Route
Processor Overview, page 4-19.
The transmission speed of the management LAN ports is not user-configurable. The transmission speed
is set through an autosensing scheme on the RSP/RP; the speed is determined by the network that the
Ethernet port is connected to. The combined total input rate of both MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1 is
about 12 Mbps.
Management port characteristics are:
• Maximum transmission unit (MTU) is fixed at 1514 and cannot be configured.
• Flow control is disabled and cannot be configured.
• Input unicast packets with an unknown destination address are filtered and dropped.
• Autonegotiation of port speed (100/1000) and duplex (full/half) is supported. Autonegotiation
cannot be disabled.

Alarm Connection Guidelines
The RSP/RP card has an alarm connector on its front panel. This 9-pin D-subconnectors (ALARM OUT)
connects the router to an external site alarm maintenance system (Figure 1-65). When a critical, major,
or minor alarm is generated, it energizes the alarm relays on the RSP/RP card to activate the external site
alarm.
Figure 1-65Alarm Connector on the RSP/RP Card Front Panel
The alarm relay contacts on the RSP/RP card consist of standard common, normally open, and normally
closed relay contacts that are wired to the pins on the connectors.
RSP and RP Port Connection Guidelines
CautionOnly safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits can be connected to the alarm connector. Maximum rating
for the alarm circuit is 100 mA, 50 V.
NoteTo comply with the intrabuilding lightning surge requirements of Telecordia GR-1089-CORE, Issue II,

Sync Port Connection Guidelines
The SYNC 0 and SYNC 1 ports are timing synchronization ports. They can be configured as Building
Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) ports or J.211 ports (Figure 1-66).
NoteBoth ports must be configured to be the same mode. It is not possible to use external BITS and J.211
sources at the same time.
When configured as BITS ports, they provide connections for an external synchronization source for
establishing precise frequency control at multiple network nodes, if required for your application. The
RSP/RP card contains a synchronous equipment timing source (SETS) that can receive a frequency
reference from an external BITS timing interface or from a clock signal recovered from any incoming
Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface. The RSP/RP SETS circuit filters the received timing
signal and uses it to drive outgoing Ethernet interfaces.
The BITS input can be T1, E1 or 64K 4/. The BITS output can be T1, E1 or 6.312M 5/.
When configured as J.211 ports, they can be used as Universal Timing Interface (UTI) ports to
synchronize timing across multiple routers by connecting to an external timing source.
When lit, these LEDs indicate for BITS:
• Green (LINK)—Connection is alive.
• Amber (FAULT)—A fault has occurred.

RSP and RP Port Connection Guidelines
CMP Port
The Connectivity Management Processor (CMP) on the RSP-440, RSP-440 Lite, and RSP-880 card, is
a secondary, lightweight processor that provides a second network interface to the system. Each CMP
contains its own RAM, bootflash, and front panel management Ethernet port.
The CMP port provides the following functions:
• RSP4 ROMMON console access through the CMP port. This eliminates the need to use external
terminal servers.
• SSH/telnet into a designated CMP port.
RSP Compact Flash Slot
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router RSP cards support a single ATA/IDE type I/II compact flash external
slot accessible on the front panel. The compact flash slot has a door that can be closed whether a compact
flash device is present or not. The file systems supported on compact flash are DOS/FAT or QNX4. The
compact flash comes with a DOS format. The supported flash disk sizes and their Cisco part numbers
are listed in Table 4-5.
Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation
USB Port
The RSP-440, RSP-440 Lite, and RSP-880 cards do not have an ATA/IDE type I/II compact flash external
slot.
The RSP-440, RSP-440 Lite, RSP-880, and Cisco ASR 9922 Router RP cards have a single external
Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. A USB flash memory device can be inserted to load and transfer
software images and files. This memory device can be used to turboboot the system or as the installation
source for Package Information Envelopes (PIE) and Software Maintenance Upgrades (SMU). This
memory device can also be used for users' data files, core files, and configuration backups.

Step 4Use a scissors jack to remove the chassis from the shipping rack. Place a pallet jack next to the chassis
inside the shipping rack and push/pull the chassis onto the pallet jack for transport to the rack.
CautionTilt the chassis only when absolutely necessary. The chassis is large and heavy. If it were to fall, it could
cause harm to itself and its surroundings. Before attempting to tilt the chassis, reduce the weight of the
system by removing all of the components in the chassis. The chassis should then be tilted in a direction
so that the rear of the chassis is facing downward. The distance the chassis travels without its packaging
should be as short as possible.
Step 5On the rear of the chassis is an integrated handle which is used to pull the chassis from the pallet jack
into the rack where the chassis is to be installed. Position the chassis so that the rear handle is facing the
front of the rack.
Step 6From the rear of the rack, pull the chassis by the handle into the rack, making sure that the chassis sits
on top of the guide rails in the rack.
Step 7Once the chassis is pulled into the rack and sits on top of the guide rails, use screws to fasten the chassis
to the rack.
