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.
Note To 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.

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.
Caution Each 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.
Note Before 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.

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.
Caution DC 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.
Note These 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.
Note These 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.
Note The generic term RSP card refers to the RSP-440, RSP-440 Lite, and RSP-880 cards, unless otherwise
specified.
Caution Ports 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.
Note The 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 1-65 Alarm 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
Caution Only safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits can be connected to the alarm connector. Maximum rating
for the alarm circuit is 100 mA, 50 V.
Note To 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).
Note Both 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.

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 4 Use 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.
Caution Tilt 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 5 On 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 6 From 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 7 Once the chassis is pulled into the rack and sits on top of the guide rails, use screws to fasten the chassis
to the rack.
