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 1-1Front 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.
NoteCheck 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.
NoteTo 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.
NoteSee 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.

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

Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation
CautionDo 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.

CautionEach Cisco ASR 9001 Router is powered by only one type of input: AC or DC. A hybrid (AC+DC)
power configuration is not supported.
CautionProper 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.
NoteDC 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.
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 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.
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.
Figure 1-22NEBS Bonding and Grounding Points on the Cisco ASR 9001 Router
1NEBS 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).

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.
NoteThe 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).
NoteBoth 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:
–
Green — Connection is alive.
–
Amber — A fault has occurred.

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.
CautionAlways 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
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.
Checking the Installation

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 1Observe 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 2When 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
NoteNew interfaces are not made available until you configure them.
Step 3If 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 1Use the show running-config command to display the system configuration. Verify that the
configuration includes the new modular port adapter (MPA) interfaces.
Step 2Use the show diag command to display information about the installed modular line cards (MLCs).
Step 3Use 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.
NoteIf 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 4Use 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.

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

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.

Connecting Power to the Router
CautionEthernet management ports are primarily used as Telnet ports into the Cisco ASR 9001, and for booting
or accessing Cisco software images over a network to which an Ethernet port is directly connected. We
strongly caution you to consider the security implications of enabling routing functions on these ports.
NoteThe Ethernet interfaces on the RP are end-station devices only, not repeaters.
Use this procedure to connect an Ethernet cable to the RP RJ-45 Ethernet receptacle:
Step 1Plug the cable directly into the RJ-45 receptacle.
Step 2Connect the network end of your RJ-45 cable to a switch, hub, repeater, or other external equipment.
Connecting Power to the Router
Chapter 3 Installing Modules and Cables in the Chassis
Use one of these procedures to connect power to your router.
• Connecting Power to an AC-Powered Router, page 3-18
• Connecting Power to a DC-Powered Router, page 3-20
CautionA 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.
NoteConnect 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 1Check that the power switch at the front of the chassis is set to the OFF position.
Step 2Check that the circuit breaker assigned to the AC power source you are connecting is set to OFF.
Step 3Connect the permanent ground connection (central office grounding system) to the NEBS grounding
location on the router chassis.
3-18
NoteTo ensure that power remains off while you are performing this procedure, turn the circuit breaker switch
in the off (0) position until you are ready to turn it on.

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.
CautionDC 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
NoteThe 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.
NoteTo 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 1Verify that the power switch is set to the OFF position.
Step 2Connect 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 3Repeat 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.

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 1Check 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 2Make 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.

Troubleshooting the Route Processor Subsystem
• If the fan tray is still not operating, there could be a problem with either the fan tray or with the
+12 VDC distribution through backplane.
• Contact your Cisco representative if replacing the fan tray does not fix the problem.
Troubleshooting the Route Processor Subsystem
The router processor subsystem consists of the route processor located on the RP card. The RP and the
line card each has the same onboard CPU serving as the main processor. The Controller Area Network
(CAN) microcontroller processor monitors the environment and controls the onboard DC-to-DC
converters.
This section contains information to troubleshoot the route processor subsystem, including:
• Route Processor Overview, page 4-9
• Configuring and Troubleshooting Line Card Interfaces, page 4-13
Route Processor Overview
The CPU on the RP card provides chassis control and management, boot media functionality, telecom
timing and precision clock synchronization, communication to the line card through the backplane
Ethernet network, and power control through the CAN bus. In addition, the CPU on the RP card also
runs the routing protocols.

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
NoteBecause both ports are supported on the RP card, MGT LAN 0 is always on. MGT LAN 0 lights
when it is selected.
Figure 4-3Management 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.

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.
NoteIf 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 1Check that the LC FAIL LED is ON (green) to verify that the card is operating normally.
Step 2Check 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 3If one of the conditions above is not met, see the “Advanced Line Card Troubleshooting” section on
page 4-17 to identify any possible problems.

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 2Check the status of each port by entering the show interface command:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show interface
Step 3Enter global configuration mode and specify that the console terminal will be the source of the
configuration commands:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configureterminal
Step 4At 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 5Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface with the ipv4 address configuration subcommand,
Step 6Use 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 7If 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 8Add 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 9When 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 10Enter 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 11Write 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:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show inventory all
Mon Mar 26 13:08:28.805 UTC
NAME: "module 0/RSP0/CPU0", DESCR: "ASR9001CHASSIS"
PID: ASR-9001, VID: V00, SN: FOC154682GG
This section briefly describes advanced troubleshooting commands that can be used if a line card fails.
NoteThis 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 diagslot
• 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
NoteIt 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.

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.
NoteFor 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:
The preceding message could also indicate a faulty component or temperature sensor. Enter the show
environment commandor 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 1Make 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.

Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem
Step 2Eject 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 3Check 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.
