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.

Lifting Guidelines
A fully-configured Cisco ASR 9001 Router can weigh as much as 37.91 pounds (17.2 kg). These
systems are not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the router, ensure that you have
planned the installation and migration of the router into your network so that you can avoid having to
move the router later to accommodate power sources and network connections.
Use these lifting guidelines to avoid injury to yourself or damage to the equipment:

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:
• Site Wiring Guidelines, page 1-7
• Rack-Mounting and Air Flow Clearance Guidelines, page 1-8
• Chassis Air Flow Guidelines, page 1-7
• Temperature and Humidity Guidelines, page 1-12
• Power Connection Guidelines, page 1-12
• 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.

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.
Table 1-1 lists the AC-input power cord options, specifications, and Cisco product numbers for the
AC-input power supply modules. Tab le 1-1 also references power cord illustrations. For more

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).
