Preparing for Installation

The Cisco ASR 9001 Router is a compact high-capacity provider edge (PE) router that delivers 120 Gbps of non-blocking, full-duplex fabric capacity in a two-rack-unit (2RU) form factor. Similar to other routers in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series, running Cisco IOS XR software images, the Cisco ASR 9001 Router delivers the features and services found on the ASR 9000 Series platforms, allowing customers to standardize on the same Cisco IOS XR image. The Cisco ASR 9001 Router has an integrated route processor (RP) and two modular bays that support 1 GE and 10 GE modular port adapters (MPAs). The base chassis has four integrated 10 GE enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) ports, a GPS input for stratum-1 clocking, building integrated timing supply (BITS) ports, and management ports. Figure 1-1 shows the front panel of the Cisco ASR 9001 Router.
Figure 1-1 Front Panel of the Cisco ASR 9001 Router
Cisco ASR 9001-S Router
The Cisco ASR 9001-S Router is a 60 Gbps variant of the Cisco ASR 9001 Router. Similar to other routers in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series, running Cisco IOS XR software images, the Cisco ASR 9001-S Router delivers the features and services found on the ASR 9000 Series platforms, allowing customers to standardize on the same Cisco IOS XR image. The Cisco ASR 9001-S Router comes standard with one modular bay (BAY 0) that supports either a 1 GE, 10 GE, or 40 GE modular port adapters (MPAs). The chassis also comes usable with two fixed SFP+ ports (SFP+0 and SFP+1). The second MPA slot (BAY 1) and other two SFP+ ports (SFP+2 and SFP+3) are disabled and covered with dust caps by default. It supports the same set of features and scaling for each NPU as does the Cisco ASR 9001 Router. Figure 1-2 shows the front panel of the Cisco ASR 9001-S Router.

Safety Guidelines

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Many router components can be damaged by static electricity. Not exercising the proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions can result in intermittent or complete component failures. To minimize the potential for ESD damage, always use an ESD-preventive antistatic wrist strap (or ankle strap) and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
Note Check the resistance value of the ESD-preventive strap periodically. The measurement should be
between 1 and 10 megohms.
Before you perform any procedure in this guide, attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist and connect the leash to the chassis as shown in Figure 1-3.

Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation
Do not lift equipment alone; have another person help you to lift the equipment.
Ensure that your footing is solid; balance the weight of the object between your feet.
Lift the equipment slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.
Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. When bending down to lift
equipment, bend at the knees (not at the waist), to reduce the strain on your lower back muscles.

Site Requirement Guidelines

Warning
To prevent injury and equipment damage, never attempt to lift or tilt the router chassis using the handles on the fan tray or on line cards. These handles do not support the weight of the chassis.
Site Requirement Guidelines
These sections contain the site requirement guidelines that you should be familiar with before installing the router:

NEBS Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines, page 1-20

Site Layout and Equipment Dimensions

To help maintain trouble-free operation, adhere to these precautions and guidelines when planning your rack installation:
Install the system in a restrictive access location with means for a permanent grounding.
OL-26701-02
Ensure the site of the rack includes provisions for source AC or DC power, grounding, and network
interface cables.
Allow sufficient space to work around the rack during the installation. You need at least 3 feet (91.44
cm) adjacent to the rack to move, align, and insert the chassis.
Maintain at least 24 inches (61 cm) of clearance in front of, and behind the chassis for maintenance
after installation.
To mount the router between two posts or rails, the usable aperture (the width between the inner
edges of the two mounting flanges) must be at least 17.75 inches (45.09 cm) for the Cisco ASR 9001 Router.
Height of the Cisco ASR 9001 Router is 3.47 inches (8.8 cm).
When fully populated with cards, the router can weigh as much as 37.91 pounds (17.2 kg). To
maintain equipment rack stability and to ensure your safety, the rack is provided with stabilizing devices. Make sure you install the stabilizers before installing the router.
If you use a telco-style rack, the weight of the chassis is cantilevered off the two rack posts. Make
sure that:
Weight of the router does not make the frame unstable.

Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation

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 radio frequency interference
(RFI) experts.
Site wiring is unlikely to emit radio interference if you use twisted-pair cable with 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 lightning strikes in your vicinity, especially if the wiring exceeds 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, and 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

Chassis Air Flow Guidelines

Cool air is circulated through the Cisco ASR 9001 Router by one fan tray located along the right side of the router (see Figure 1-5).
The fan tray maintains acceptable operating temperatures for the internal components by drawing in cool air through the vents, and circulating the air through the chassis. Each power supply is also equipped with fans that draw cool air into the front of the power supply and force warm air out of the air exhaust.
Note See the “Rack-Mounting and Air Flow Clearance Guidelines” section on page 1-8 section for details on
air flow clearance requirements for installation in an enclosed 4-post rack.

Site Requirement Guidelines
Figure 1-5 Air Flow Path through the Cisco ASR 9001 Router
Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation
Air exhaust
When selecting a site to install the router, observe these guidelines:
Dust free area—Site should be as dust free as possible. Dusty environments can clog the power
supply intake vents, reducing the cooling air flow through the router. Clogged filters and vents can cause an over-temperature condition in the router.
Unrestricted air flow—Allow sufficient air flow by maintaining a minimum of 6 inches (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 over-temperature condition can occur within the router. Under extreme conditions, the environmental monitoring system powers off the router to protect the components.
See “Rack-Mounting and Air Flow Clearance Guidelines” for details on air flow clearance requirements for installation in an enclosed 4-post rack.

Rack-Mounting and Air Flow Clearance Guidelines

The router can be mounted in most 2-post, 4-post, or telco-style 19-inch equipment racks that comply with the Electronics Industries Association (EIA) standard for equipment racks (EIA-310-D). The rack must have at least two posts with mounting flanges to mount the router chassis. The distance between the center lines of the mounting holes on the two mounting posts must be 18.31 inches ± 0.06 inch (46.50 cm ± 0.15 cm).
Figure 1-6 shows examples of typical 2-post, 4-post, and telco-type equipment racks.

Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation
Caution Do not install the Cisco ASR 9001 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 over-temperature condition inside the router.

Air Flow Guidelines for Enclosed Rack Installation

To install a Cisco ASR 9001 Router in a 4-post enclosed cabinet, the front and rear doors of the cabinet must be removed or be perforated with a minimum of 65% open area (70% for ETSI 800mm racks).
If you are mounting the chassis in a 4-post enclosed cabinet, ensure that you have these clearances aound the chassis:
Rear: Minimum of 3.15 inches (8.00 cm) of clearance
Sides: Minimum of 6 inches (15.24 cm) of clearance on each side of the chassis.
Figure 1-8 shows the side and rear chassis air flow clearance requirements for mounting the
Cisco ASR 9001 Router in a 4-post enclosed rack.

The operating and nonoperating environmental site requirements are listed in Tab l e A-2. The router normally operates within the ranges listed in Tab le A-3; 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 9001 Router is powered by only one type of input: AC or DC. A hybrid (AC+DC)
power configuration is not supported.
Caution Proper grounding is necessary to avoid damage from lightning and power surges. See the “NEBS
Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines” section on page 1-20 for grounding
requirements.

AC Powered Routers

AC power modules operate in the input range of 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz and require a minimum service of:
15 A for operation in North America and Japan
10 A for international operation
13 A for operation in the UK
Site Requirement Guidelines
Each of the AC power inputs requires a separate dedicated branch circuit. For a list of the nominal and acceptable value ranges for source AC power, see Tab le A-5.

DC Powered Router

Connections to DC power modules are rated at 20 A maximum. The system accepts a nominal input voltage of –48 VDC with an operational tolerance range of –48 VDC to –60 VDC. One dedicated, commensurately rated DC power source is required for each power module connection.
Power connections to the each DC power module requires two cables: one source cable and one return cable.
For DC power cables, we recommend that you use 20-A-rated, high-strand-count copper wire cables.
The length of the cables depends on your router location from the source power.
Note DC power cables are not available from Cisco, but they are available from external commercial cable
vendors.

The color coding of the 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 also 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 Table A-4 on page A-3.

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 the supplemental bonding and grounding connection on the 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.
Figure 1-22 shows the NEBS grounding locations for the Cisco ASR 9001 Router.
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.
Figure 1-22 NEBS Bonding and Grounding Points on the Cisco ASR 9001 Router
1 NEBS grounding point on side of chassis
To ensure a satisfactory supplemental ground connection to the router, use these 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 large enough to accept a six AWG or larger, multistrand copper wire. For four AWG cable, use Panduit part number LCD4-14AF-L; for six AWG, use Panduit part number LCD6-14AF-L.
Two 10-32 round-head screws and two locking washers (nickel-plated brass is ideal).

Console Port and Auxiliary Port Connection Guidelines

The RP has two EIA/TIA-232 (formerly RS232) serial RJ-45 connection ports (see Figure 1-23):
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.
Auxiliary port—RJ-45 interface for connecting a modem.
Note The console and auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports. Ensure that devices connected to

Console Port Signals

The RP 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 RP console port, which is 115200 bps. Set the terminal to these operational values: 115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (115200 8N1).

Management LAN Ports Connection Guidelines

The RP has two RJ45 media-dependent interface (MDI) Ethernet management LAN ports: MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1 (see Figure 1-23).
These ports are used for IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T (10 Mbps), IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps), or 1000BASE-T (1000 Mbps) Ethernet connections.
The transmission speed of the management LAN ports is not user-configurable. The transmission speed is set through an auto-sensing scheme on the RP; the speed is determined by the network to which that the Ethernet port is connected. 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 (10/100/1000) and duplex (full/half) is supported. Autonegotiation
cannot be disabled.

Sync Ports 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 (see Figure 1-23).
Note Both ports must be configured to be in 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. Such connections are for establishing precise frequency control at multiple network nodes, if required for your application. The 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 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.

SYNC Port LED Indicators

The SYNC port connector has integral LED indicators (see Figure 1-27). When lit, these LEDs indicate:
in BITS mode:

Handling Modular Port Adapters (MPAs)

Each modular port adapter (MPA) circuit board is mounted on a metal carrier, and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Before you begin installation, refer to the Preparing to Install
Modular Line Cards (MLCs) or Modular Port Adapters (MPAs) section of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Ethernet Line Card Installation Guide for a list of parts and tools required
for installation.
Caution Always handle the modular port adapter (MPA) by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the modular
port adapter (MPA) components or connector pins. (See Figure 3-5.)
When a bay is not in use, a blank ASR 9000 MPA Slot Filler (A9K-MPA-FILR) must fill the empty bay to allow the router or switch to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow across the installed modules. If you plan to install a modular port adapter (MPA) in a bay that is not in use, you must first remove the blank.
Chapter 3 Installing Modules and Cables in the Chassis

Chapter 3 Installing Modules and Cables in the Chassis

Optical Device Installation and Removal

Any contamination of the fiber connection can cause failure of the component or failure of the whole system. A particle that partially or completely blocks the core generates strong back reflections, which can cause instability in the laser system. Inspection, cleaning, and reinspection are critical steps to take before making fiber-optic connections.

Cleaning Optical Devices

Refer to the Inspection and Cleaning Procedures for Fiber-Optic Connections document for information on cleaning optical devices.

Verifying the Installation

This section describes how to verify the modular port adapter (MPA) installation by observing the modular port adapter (MPA) LED states.
Cisco ASR 9001 and Cisco ASR 9001-S Routers Hardware Installation Guide
3-8
OL-26701-02
Chapter 3 Installing Modules and Cables in the Chassis
When the system has reinitialized all interfaces, the modular port adapter (MPA) STATUS LEDs should be on (green). The port LEDs (C/A and A/L) may be on (green), depending on your connections and configuration.
Use this procedure to verify that a modular port adapter (MPA) is installed correctly:
Step 1 Observe the console display messages and verify that the system discovers the modular line card (MLC),
while the system reinitializes each interface, thus:
As a modular port adapter (MPA) is initialized, the STATUS LED will first be amber, indicating that
power is on. When the modular port adapter card (MPA) is active, the STATUS LED will illuminate green.
Step 2 When the modular port adapter (MPA) STATUS LEDs are green, all associated interfaces are
configurable.
If a modular port adapter (MPA) is replaced with a module of the same type (as in an OIR or
hardware swap), the previous configuration is reinstated when the modular port adapter (MPA) becomes active.
If a modular port adapter (MPA) has not been previously installed in the same slot or subslot, then
the configuration for all associated interfaces is empty.
Installing and Removing Modular Port Adapters
Note New interfaces are not made available until you configure them.
Step 3 If the modular port adapters (MPAs) do not become active within three minutes, refer to the system
console messages. If there is no indication that a field-programmable device (FPD) upgrade is underway, see Troubleshooting the Installation.

Using show Commands to Verify Modular Port Adapter (MPA) Status

This procedure uses show commands to verify that the new modular port adapters (MPAs) are configured and operating correctly.
Step 1 Use the show running-config command to display the system configuration. Verify that the
configuration includes the new modular port adapter (MPA) interfaces.
Step 2 Use the show diag command to display information about the installed modular line cards (MLCs).
Step 3 Use the show hw-module fpd location <rack/slot/subslot> command to verify the FPD version
information of the modular port adapters (MPAs) installed in the system.
Note If a modular port adapter (MPA) does not meet the minimum version required, the FPD may need
to be updated. Refer to Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router System Management Configuration Guide for instructions. If the update fails, the failing module is powered down and
an error message displays on the system console.
OL-26701-02
Step 4 Use the show platform command to check the state of all boards in the chassis, including the modular
line card (MLC) and the modular port adapters (MPAs).
The modular port adapter (MPA) state should be “OK” and the modular line card (MLC) card state should be “IOS XR RUN” in the show platform command output.

Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity

The ping command allows you to verify whether a modular port adapter (MPA) port is functioning properly and to check the path between a specific port and connected devices at various locations on the network. After you verify that the system and the modular line card (MLC) have booted successfully and are operational, you can use this command to verify the status of the modular port adapter (MPA) ports. Refer to Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Getting Started Guide and Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide for more information on bringing up and configuring the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router and the Cisco ASR 9000 A9K-MOD80G-H.

Chapter 3 Installing Modules and Cables in the Chassis
The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After sending a series of signals, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to echo the signals. Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each signal that is not returned before the specified timeout is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points
(!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed]
indicate that the connection failed.
This is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the IP address 10.1.1.60:
Router# ping 10.1.1.60 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.1.1.60, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms Router#
If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the destination device and that the destination device is active (powered on), and then repeat the ping command.

Caution A router must be operated with all its power modules installed at all times for electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC).

Connecting Power to an AC-Powered Router

Use this procedure to connect the AC power cords to the router.
Note Connect each AC power supply to a dedicated power source (branch circuit). Each AC-input
power supply operates at a nominal input level of 100 to 240 VAC and requires at least a 15 A service for use in North America and Japan, or a 10 A service for international use. For more information on AC power input levels, see the “Power Connection Guidelines” section on
page 1-12.
Step 1 Check that the power switch at the front of the chassis is set to the OFF position.
Step 2 Check that the circuit breaker assigned to the AC power source you are connecting is set to OFF.
Step 3 Connect the permanent ground connection (central office grounding system) to the NEBS grounding
location on the router chassis.

Connecting Power to the Router

Connecting Power to a DC-Powered Router

This section contains the procedures to connect the DC source power cables to a DC-powered router.
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, you must be sure that power source cables are connected to the power module with 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 circuitry to trip the breaker on the power module if the power module detects
a reverse polarity condition. No damage would occur from reverse polarity, but you should correct a reverse-polarity condition immediately.
Chapter 3 Installing Modules and Cables in the Chassis
Note The length of the cables depends on the location of your router in relation to the source of DC power.
These cables are not available from Cisco Systems. They are available from external commercial cable vendors. For more information on site power and source DC cable requirements, see the “Power
Connection Guidelines” section on page 1-12.
Note To ensure that power remains off while you are performing this procedure, tape the DC circuit breaker
switch in the off (0) position.
Use this procedure to connect the DC source power cables to a DC power module:
Step 1 Verify that the power switch is set to the OFF position.
Step 2 Connect the DC power cables in the following order (see Figure 3-12):
a. Ground cables first.
b. Positive cables next.
c. Negative cable last.
Step 3 Repeat Step 2 for the other power modules installed in the chassis.
Warning
To prevent injury and damage to the equipment, always attach the ground and source DC power cable to power module terminals in the following order: (1) ground to ground, (2) positive (+) to positive (+), (3) negative (–) to negative (–).

Troubleshooting the Installation

This chapter contains general troubleshooting information to help isolate the cause of any difficulties you might encounter during the installation and initial startup of the system.
Although an over-temperature condition is unlikely at initial startup, environmental monitoring functions are included in this chapter because these too monitor internal voltages.
Troubleshooting the installation is presented in these sections:
Troubleshooting Overview, page 4-1
Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem, page 4-3
Troubleshooting the Route Processor Subsystem, page 4-9
Troubleshooting the Line Card, page 4-12
Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem, page 4-18

Troubleshooting Overview

This section describes the methods used in troubleshooting the router. The troubleshooting methods are organized according to the major subsystems in the router.
If you are unable to solve a problem on your own, you can contact a Cisco customer service representative for assistance. When you call, have this information ready:
Date you received the router and the chassis serial number (located on a label on the back of the
chassis).
Installed line card and Cisco software release number:
Use the show version command to determine the Cisco software release number.
Brief description of the symptoms and steps you have taken to isolate and solve the issue.
Maintenance agreement or warranty information.

Troubleshooting Using a Subsystem Approach

To solve a system problem, try to isolate the problem to a specific subsystem. Compare the current router behavior with the expected router behavior. Because a startup issue is usually attributable to one component, it is most efficient to examine each subsystem, rather than trying to troubleshoot each router component.
OL-26701-02
Cisco ASR 9001 and Cisco ASR 9001-S Routers Hardware Installation Guide

Troubleshooting Overview
For troubleshooting purposes in this chapter, the router consists of these subsystems:
Power subsystem—Router chassis is shipped with up to two AC-input or DC-input power supply
modules installed in the Cisco ASR 9001 Router chassis.
Chassis backplane power distribution—System transfers +12 VDC power from the power modules
to the chassis backplane and distributes it to all the cards through the backplane connectors. The fan tray receives power from the chassis backplane and communicate to the RP CAN Bus controller.
Processor subsystem—Includes the active Route Processor (RP) card with line card. The RP is
equipped with onboard processors. The RP downloads a copy of the Cisco software image to the line card processor.
Cooling subsystem—Consists of one fantray with 14 fans, which circulate cooling air through the
chassis.

Normal Router Startup Sequence

You can generally determine when and where the router failed during the startup sequence by checking the status LEDs on the power modules and RP.
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting the Installation
In a normal router startup sequence, this sequence of events and conditions occur:
1. The fan in each power module receives power and begins drawing air through the power supply.
The power module input power and output power indicators are on.
2. The fans in the fan tray receive power and begin drawing air through the chassis.
The fan tray OK indicator is on.
3. As the power-on and boot process progresses for the RP, the status of the RP appears on the front
panel of the card.

Identifying Startup Issues

Table 4-1 shows the LED states on the power modules (AC or DC), RP, and the fan tray after a successful
system startup.
Table 4-1 LEDs at System Startup
Component Type of Indicator Display Contents/LED Status and Meaning

Troubleshooting the Power Distribution System

The power distribution system consists of:
AC or DC power modules that supply +12 VDC to the backplane.
Chassis backplane that carries voltage to chassis components.
DC-to-DC converters that convert +12 VDC from the backplane to the correct voltages required by
the line card.
Use this procedure to troubleshoot the power distribution system:
Step 1 Check each power module to make sure that:
Power module is fully inserted and properly secured by its latch.
Green LED is on.
4-8
Amber LED is off.
If the power modules meet the above criteria, then the correct source power is present and within tolerance, and output DC power is present. The power modules are functioning properly.
Step 2 Make sure the fan tray is operating:
If the fan tray is functioning, then the +12 VDC from the chassis backplane to the fan tray is
functioning properly.

Ethernet Ports and Status LEDs

The RP has two 8-pin media-dependent interface (MDI) RJ-45 Management LAN ports for 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000Mbps Ethernet connections. These ports are labeled MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1.
The transmission speed of the Ethernet port is not user-configurable. You set the speed through an auto-sensing scheme on the RP, the speed is determined by the network to which the Ethernet port is connected. However, even at an auto-sensed data transmission rate of 100 Mbps, the Ethernet port can only provide a usable bandwidth of substantially less than 100 Mbps. You can expect a maximum usable bandwidth of approximately 12 Mbps when using an Ethernet connection.
These LEDs on the front panel indicate traffic status and port selection (see Figure 4-3):
LINK—Indicates link activity.
ACT—Indicates which Ethernet port is selected (ETH 0 or ETH 1).
Troubleshooting the Route Processor Subsystem
Note Because both ports are supported on the RP card, MGT LAN 0 is always on. MGT LAN 0 lights
when it is selected.
Figure 4-3 Management LAN Port Activity LEDs

Auxiliary and Console Ports

The auxiliary and console ports on the RP are EIA/TIA-232 (also known as RS-232) asynchronous serial ports connect external devices to monitor and manage the system:
Auxiliary port—RJ45 interface that supports flow control and is often used to connect a modem, a
channel service unit (CSU), or other optional equipment for Telnet management.
Console port—Receptacle (female) that provides a RJ45 interface for connecting a console terminal.

Troubleshooting the Line Card

Monitoring Critical, Major, and Minor Alarm Status

Alarms warn of:
Overtemperature condition on a component in the card
Fan failure in the fan tray
Overcurrent condition in a power supply
Out-of-tolerance voltage on the card
The alarm LEDs are controlled by the CAN microcontoller software, which sets the threshold levels for triggering the different stages of alarms.
The RP card continuously polls the system for temperature, voltage, current, and fan speed values. If a threshold value is exceeded, the RP sets the appropriate alarm severity level on the alarm card, which lights the corresponding LED, and energizes the appropriate alarm display relays to activate any external audible or visual alarms wired to the alarm display. The RP also logs a message about the threshold violation on the system console.
Note If one or more of the alarm LEDs is on, check the system console for messages describing the alarm.
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting the Installation
Troubleshooting the Line Card

Initial Boot Process

During a typical line card boot process, thse events occur:
1. The line card receives power and begins executing initialization software.
2. The line card performs internal checks, and prepares to accept the Cisco IOS XR software from the
RP.
3. The RP loads the line card with its Cisco IOS XR software.
To verify that the line card is working properly:
Step 1 Check that the LC FAIL LED is ON (green) to verify that the card is operating normally.
Step 2 Check that the RSP FAIL LED for the port of interest is ON (green or blinking) to verify that the port is
active. If the RSP FAIL LED is not ON, verify that the associated interface is not shut down.
Step 3 If one of the conditions above is not met, see the “Advanced Line Card Troubleshooting” section on
page 4-17 to identify any possible problems.

Configuring and Troubleshooting Line Card Interfaces

Troubleshooting the Line Card
After the person who installed the hardware verifies that the line card is working properly by examining the LEDs, the network administrator can configure the new interface. These sections provide information on configuring and troubleshooting the line card:

Troubleshooting the Line Card

Line Card Interface Address

A Cisco ASR 9001 Router identifies an interface address by its rack number, line card slot number, instance number, and port number, in the format rack/slot/instance/port. The rack parameter is reserved for multirack systems; so, the rack parameter is always 0 (zero) for the Cisco ASR 9001 Router.
The line card slot is numbered 0 with three subslots. The subslots on the line card are numbered 0, 1, and 2. 0 and 1 are reserved for EP ports and 2 is for native ports on the line card. Even if the line card contains only one port, you must use the rack/slot/instance/port notation.

Using Configuration Commands

The command line interface (CLI) for Cisco IOS XR software is divided into different command modes. To configure a line card, you enter the correct mode and then enter the commands you need.
When you first log in, you are automatically in EXEC mode. Next, enter the configure command to access configuration mode. Then, enter the interface command to enter interface configuration mode and specify the interface. You are now in the command mode where you can configure the new interface. Be prepared with the information you will need, such as the interface IP address.
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting the Installation

Basic Line Card Configuration

This procedure is for creating a basic configuration—enabling an interface and specifying IP routing. You might also need to enter other configuration subcommands, depending on the requirements for your system configuration.
This example shows one way to configure the basic parameters of a line card:
Step 1 Enter EXEC mode:
Username: username Password: password RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router#
Step 2 Check the status of each port by entering the show interface command:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show interface
Step 3 Enter global configuration mode and specify that the console terminal will be the source of the
configuration commands:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure terminal
Step 4 At the prompt, specify the new interface to configure by entering the interface command, followed by
the type (for example, gigabitethernet or tengige) and rack/slot/instance/port (line card rack, slot number, subslot number, port number). Remember that Cisco ASR 9001 Router rack and subslot values are always 0 (zero). For example, to configure port 4 on bay 0 of the line card:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# interface tengige 0/0/0/3
4-14
You are now in interface configuration mode.
Step 5 Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface with the ipv4 address configuration subcommand,
as in the following example:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# ipv4 address 10.1.2.3 255.255.255.0
Step 6 Use the no shutdown command to enable the interface:
Cisco ASR 9001 and Cisco ASR 9001-S Routers Hardware Installation Guide
OL-26701-02
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting the Installation
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# no shutdown
The no shutdown command passes an enable command to the line card. It also causes the line card to configure itself based on the most recent configuration commands received by the line card.
Step 7 If you want to disable the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), which is not required, use this command:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# no cdp
Step 8 Add any other configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and adjust the interface
characteristics. Examples of such subcommands are:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# flow-control ingress RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# mtu 1448 RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# mac-address 0001.2468.ABCD
Step 9 When you have included all the configuration subcommands to complete the configuration, enter the
commit command to commit all changes you made to the running configuration.
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# commit
Step 10 Enter Ctrl-Z to exit configuration mode. If you did not enter the commit command, you will be
prompted to do so:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting(yes/no/cancel)? [cancel]:
Troubleshooting the Line Card
Answer yes to commit, no to exit without a commit, or cancel to cancel the exit (default).
Step 11 Write the new configuration to memory:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# copy run disk0:/config/running/alternate_cfg:/router.cfg Destination file name (control-c to abort): [/router.cfg]? The destination file already exists. Do you want to overwrite? [no]: yes Building configuration. 223 lines built in 1 second [OK]
The system displays an OK message when the configuration has been stored.

Verifying the Transceiver Modules

Use the show inventory all command to display SFP or XFP module information for all transceiver modules currently installed in the router. To display SFP or XFP module information for a particular module, you can use the show inventory location <slot ID> command.
The output of these commands lists such information as the slot ID, transceiver type, description, product ID, version, and serial number.
For example, to list module information for all modules in the router:

Troubleshooting the Line Card

Advanced Line Card Troubleshooting

This section briefly describes advanced troubleshooting commands that can be used if a line card fails.
Note This section assumes that you possess basic proficiency in the use of Cisco IOS XR software commands.
By using the commands listed in this section, you should be able to determine the nature of the problems you are having with your line card. The first step is to identify the cause of the line card failure or console errors that you are seeing.
To discover which card may be at fault, it is essential to collect the output from these commands:
show logging
show diag slot
show context location slot
Along with these show commands, you should also gather the following information:
Console Logs and Syslog Information—This information is crucial if multiple symptoms are
occurring. If the router is configured to send logs to a Syslog server, you may see some information on what has occurred. For console logs, it is best to be directly connected to the router on the console port with logging enabled.
Additional Data—The show tech-support command is a compilation of many different commands,
including show version, show running-config, show tech ethernet, show tech pfi, and show stacks. This information is required when working on issues with the Cisco Technical Assistance
Center (Cisco TAC).
For examples of how to use these commands and the resulting output, see the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Troubleshooting Guide.

Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem

Note It is important to collect the show tech-support command data before doing a reload or power cycle.
Failure to do so can cause all information about the problem to be lost. Output from these commands varies slightly depending on which line card you are using, but the basic information is the same.
Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem
You may need to troubleshoot the cooling subsystem if an over-temperature condition occurs. The cooling subsystem of the router consists of a fan tray in the chassis and a fan in each of the power supplies. The fan tray and the power supply fans circulate air to maintain acceptable operating temperatures within the router.
This section contains information to troubleshooting the cooling subsystem and includes:
Fan Tray Operation, page 4-18
Power Module Fans, page 4-18
Over-temperature Conditions, page 4-19
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting the Installation
Isolating Cooling Subsystem Problems, page 4-19

Fan Tray Operation

The fan tray maintains acceptable operating temperatures for the internal components by drawing cooling air into the system chassis. The fan tray receives power from the chassis backplane.
The fan tray contains 14 fans, a controller card, and one front panel STATUS LED indicator:
Green—Fan tray is functioning properly.
Red—There is a fault detected in the fan tray.
If the air temperature inside the chassis rises, blower speed increases to provide additional cooling air to the internal components. If the internal air temperature continues to rise beyond the specified threshold, the system environmental monitor shuts down all internal power to prevent equipment damage because of excessive heat.
If the system detects that one or more of the fans in the fan tray has failed, it displays a warning message on the system console. In addition, the remaining fans go to full speed to compensate for the loss of the failed fan.

Power Module Fans

Each AC or DC power module is equipped with one fan that draws cooling air in through the front of the power module and force warm air out through the air exhaust of the chassis:
If the power source is within the required voltage range, the power supply fan remains on.
If a fan fails:
4-18
Power module detects an internal over-temperature condition.
Fault and Temp indicators light.
Power module sends an over-temperature warning to the system and then power supply switchover to the redundant power module.
Cisco ASR 9001 and Cisco ASR 9001-S Routers Hardware Installation Guide
OL-26701-02
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting the Installation
For additional power supply troubleshooting information, see the “Troubleshooting the Power
Subsystem” section on page 4-3.
Note For the RSP to communicate properly to a power module, input power to at least one of the two power
modules should be present.

Over-temperature Conditions

This console error message indicates that the system has detected an over-temperature condition or out-of-tolerance power value inside the system:
Queued messages: %ENVM-1-SHUTDOWN: Environmental Monitor initiated shutdown
The preceding message could also indicate a faulty component or temperature sensor. Enter the show environment command or the show environment all command at the user EXEC prompt to display
information about the internal system environment. The information generated by these commands includes:
Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem
Voltage measurements on each card from the DC-to-DC converter
The +5 VDC for the I2C module
Operating voltage for the fan tray
Temperature measurements received by all sensors of RP and LC module as well as temperature
measurements from sensors located in each power module
If an environmental shutdown results from an over-temperature or out-of-tolerance condition, the Fault indicator on the power supply lights before the system shuts down.
Although an over-temperature condition is unlikely at initial system startup, make sure that:
Heated exhaust air from other equipment in the immediate environment is not entering the chassis
card cage vents.
You allow sufficient air flow by maintaining a minimum of 6 inches (15.24 cm) of clearance at both
the inlet and exhaust openings on the chassis and the power modules to allow cool air to enter freely and hot air to be expelled from the chassis.

Isolating Cooling Subsystem Problems

Use this procedure to isolate a problem with the chassis cooling system if you have an over-temperature condition:
Step 1 Make sure the fan tray is operating properly when you power on the system. To determine if the fan tray
is operating, check the LED indicator on the fan tray front panel:
OL-26701-02
OK (green)—Fan tray is functioning properly and receiving +12 VDC power, indicating that the
cables from the chassis backplane to the fan tray are good.
Fail (red)—Fault is detected in the fan tray. Replace the fan tray.
If neither indicator is on and the blower is not operating, there may be a problem with either the fan
tray or the +12 VDC power supplied to the fan tray. Go to Step 2.
Cisco ASR 9001 and Cisco ASR 9001-S Routers Hardware Installation Guide
4-19
Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem
Step 2 Eject and reseat the fan tray making sure the captive screws are securely tightened to a torque of
10 +/–1 in-lb.
If the fan tray still does not function, go to Step 3.
Step 3 Check for +12 VDC power by looking at the LED indicators on each power module:
If the Pwr OK indicator is on and the Fault indicator is off on each power module, it indicates that
the fan tray is receiving +12 VDC:
If the fan tray is still not functioning, there could be a problem with the fan tray controller card or an undetected problem in the fan tray cable. Replace the fan tray.
If the new fan tray does not function, contact a Cisco customer service representative for assistance.
If the Fault indicator is on, the power supply is faulty. Replace the power supply.
If the Temp and Fault indicators are on, an over-temperature condition exists:
Verify that the power supply fan is operating properly.
If the fan is not operating, replace the power supply.
Contact your Cisco representative if replacing the power supply does not fix the problem.
