Cisco Product Identification Standard

Cisco Product Identification Standard
This section describes the Cisco products and services product identification standard. This feature provides you with the ability to effectively integrate and manage Cisco products in your network and business operations.

Unique Device Identifier

The Unique Device Identifier (UDI) is the Cisco product identification standard for hardware products. A product identification standard removes barriers to enterprise automation and can help you reduce operating expenses.
The UDI provides a consistent electronic, physical, and associated business-to-business information product identification standard.
The UDI is a combination of five data elements. Tabl e 1-1 lists the UDI elements.
Table 1-1 UDI Elements
Chapter 1 Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Overview
Electronic
UDI Data Element
PID Yes Yes Product ID, also known as product name, model
VID Yes Yes Version ID
SN Yes Yes Serial number, the unique instance of the PID
Entity Name Yes Type, such as chassis, slot, or power supply
Product Description Yes Additional product information
The combination of serial number and product ID (PID) is unique and consistent across all Cisco products. The PID that is coded on hardware is called a base product identifier.
Additional orderable PIDs can be associated to a base PID. For instance, an orderable PID may describe a packaging configuration for a product or a bundled group of products sold, tested, and shipped together. Specific unique device identifier (UDI) benefits include the following:
Identifies:
Individual Cisco products in your networks
PIDs and serial numbers for service and replaceable products
Version IDs (VIDs) for product version visibility
Facilitates discovery of products subject to recall or upgrade
Enhances inventory automation of Cisco products
The Cisco product identification standard provides the following features:
Visibility
Physical Visibility Description
name, product number
1-6
Version visibility—Cisco continuously improves products through feature additions. Product
changes are indicated by incrementing the VID, which provides version visibility to help you understand and manage product changes. VID management ensures consistency of changes from product to product.
Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Hardware Installation Guide
OL-32376-02
Chapter 1 Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Overview
Operating expense reduction—Cisco UDIs provide accurate and detailed network inventory
information; identifying each Cisco product in a network element through a standard interface. Cisco operating systems can view and use this data, allowing you to automate your electronic inventory.
Consistency across product layers—The UDIs are embedded in the hardware products and cannot
be overwritten. Operating and management systems discover UDIs through standard interfaces and display UDIs in standard outputs. Standard interfaces include the IETF standard ENTITY-MIB.

Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Power Supplies
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router supports AC and DC power supply options. The modular chassis configurations support the installation of two power supplies for redundancy. When an external power supply fails or is removed, the other power supply provides power requirements for the chassis. This allows you to hot-swap the power supply without impacting the functionality of the router.

Power Supplies for the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router

Each Cisco ASR 1001-X Router power supply provides 250 W of output power. The power supplies are used in a 1 + 1 redundant configuration. There is no input switch on the faceplate of the power supplies. A power supply is switched from Standby to On by way of a system chassis STANDBY/ON switch. When facing the rear of the chassis, power supply slot 0 (PS0) is to the left (next to the power supply standby switch) and power supply slot 1(PS1) is to the right.
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router supports the following power supplies:
Cisco ASR 1001-X Router AC power supply—Provides 250 W output power with DC voltage
output of +12 V. The AC power supply operates between +85 and +264 VAC. The AC power supply current shares on the 12 V output and is used in a dual hot pluggable configuration.
Cisco ASR 1001-X Router DC power supply—Provides 242 W output power with DC voltage
output of +12 V. The power supply operates between –40 and –72 VDC. The DC power supply current shares on the 12 V output and is used in a dual hot-pluggable configuration.
OL-32376-02
Note The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router can support two AC or two DC power supplies. Do not install mixed AC
and DC power supply units in the same chassis.

Site Power Guidelines

The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router has specific power and electrical wiring requirements. Adhering to these requirements ensures reliable operation of the system. Follow these precautions and recommendations when planning your site for the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router:
The redundant power option provides a second, identical power supply to ensure that power to the
chassis continues uninterrupted if one power supply fails or input power on one line fails.
In systems configured with the redundant power option, connect each of the two power supplies to
a separate input power source. If you fail to do this, your system might be susceptible to total power failure due to a fault in the external wiring or a tripped circuit breaker.
To prevent a loss of input power, be sure the total maximum load on each circuit supplying the power
supplies is within the current ratings of the wiring and breakers.
Check the power at your site before installation, and periodically after installation, to ensure that
you are receiving clean power. Install a power conditioner if necessary.
Provide proper grounding to avoid personal injury and damage to the equipment due to lightning
striking power lines or due to power surges. The chassis ground must be attached to a central office or other interior ground system.
Site Planning
Caution This product requires short-circuit (overcurrent) protection to be provided as part of the building
installation. Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations.
Note The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router installation must comply with all applicable codes and is approved for
use with copper conductors only. The ground bond fastening hardware should be of compatible material and preclude loosening, deterioration, and electrochemical corrosion of hardware and joined material. Attachment of the chassis ground to a central office or other interior ground system must be made with an AWG #6 gauge wire, copper ground conductor at a minimum.
Electrical Circuit Requirements
Each Cisco ASR 1001-X Router requires a dedicated electrical circuit. If you equip it with dual-power feeds, you must provide a separate circuit for each power supply to avoid compromising the power redundancy feature.
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router can be powered by a DC or AC source. Ensure that equipment grounding is present and observe power-strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all the products plugged into the power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the rating.
Note The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router can support two AC or two DC power supplies. Do not install mixed AC
and DC power supply units in the same chassis.

Site Cabling Guidelines

This section contains guidelines for wiring and cabling at your site. When preparing your site for network connections to the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router, consider the type of cable required for each component, and the cable limitations. Consider the distance limitations for signaling, EMI, and connector compatibility. Possible cable types are fiber, thick or thin coaxial, foil twisted-pair cabling, or unshielded twisted-pair cabling.
Also consider any additional interface equipment you need, such as transceivers, hubs, switches, modems, channel service units (CSUs), or data service units (DSUs).
Before you begin, read this important note about cabling:
The E1 interface on the Cisco 8-Port Channelized T1/E1 SPA interface uses RJ-48c receptacles for E1 (120-ohm) cables with RJ-45 connectors. You can use all the ports simultaneously. Each E1 connection supports interfaces that meet the G.703 standards. The RJ-45 connection does not require an external transceiver. The E1 ports are E1 interfaces that use 120 ohm-shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables.

Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Hardware Installation Guide
OL-32376-02
Chapter 3 Preparing Your Site for Installation
The extent of your network and the distances between network interface connections depend in part on the following factors:
Signal type
Signal speed
Transmission medium
The distance and rate limits referenced in the following sections are the IEEE-recommended maximum speeds and distances for signaling purposes. Use this information as guidelines when planning your network connections prior to installing the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router.
If wires exceed recommended distances, or if wires pass between buildings, give special consideration to the effect of a lightning strike in your vicinity. The electromagnetic pulse caused by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can easily couple enough energy into unshielded conductors to destroy electronic devices. If you have had problems of this sort in the past, you may want to consult experts in electrical surge suppression and shielding.
Console Port Connections
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router provides console and auxiliary ports to connect a terminal or computer for local console access.
Both ports have RJ-45 connectors, support RS-232 asynchronous data, and have distance recommendations specified in the IEEE RS-232 standard.
Site Planning
USB Serial Console
The USB serial console port connects directly to the USB connector of a PC using a USB Type A to 5-pin mini USB Type-B cable. The USB Console supports full speed (12Mbps) operation. The console port does not support hardware flow control.
Note Always use shielded USB cables with a properly terminated shield. The USB serial console interface
cable must not exceed 3 meters in length.
Only one console port can be active at a time. When a cable is plugged into the USB console port,
the RJ-45 port becomes inactive. Conversely, when the USB cable is removed from the USB port, the RJ-45 port becomes active.
4-pin mini USB Type-B connectors are easily confused with 5-pin mini USB Type-B connectors.
Only 5-pin mini USB Type-B is supported.
Interference Considerations
When wires are run for a significant distance, there is a risk that stray signals will be induced on the wires as interference. If interference signals are strong, they can cause data errors or damage to the equipment.
The following sections describe sources of interference and how to minimize its effects on the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router.
OL-32376-02
Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Hardware Installation Guide
3-13
Site Planning
Electromagnetic Interference
All the equipment powered by AC current can propagate electrical energy that can cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) and possibly affect the operation of other equipment. The typical sources of EMI are equipment power cords and power service cables from electric utility companies.
Strong EMI can destroy the signal drivers and receivers in the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router and even create an electrical hazard by causing power surges through power lines into installed equipment. These problems are rare, but could be catastrophic.
To resolve these problems, you need specialized knowledge and equipment, which could consume substantial time and money. However, you should ensure that you have a properly grounded and shielded electrical environment, paying special attention to the need for electrical surge suppression.

Radio Frequency Interference
When electromagnetic fields act over a long distance, radio frequency interference (RFI) can be propagated. Building wiring can often act as an antenna, receiving the RFI signals and creating more EMI on the wiring.
If you use twisted-pair cable in your plant wiring with a good distribution of grounding conductors, the plant wiring is unlikely to emit radio interference. If you exceed the recommended distances, use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data signal.
Lightning and AC Power Fault Interference
If signal wires exceed recommended cabling distances, or if signal wires pass between buildings, you should consider the effect that a lightning strike in your vicinity might have on the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router.
Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Hardware Installation Guide

OL-32376-02
Chapter 3 Preparing Your Site for Installation
The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generated by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can couple enough energy into unshielded conductors to damage or destroy electronic equipment. If you have previously experienced such problems, you should consult with RFI/EMI experts to ensure that you have adequate electrical surge suppression and shielding of signal cables in your Cisco ASR 1001-X Router operating environment.

Rack-Mounting Guidelines

This section describes guidelines on rack-mounting.
Precautions for Rack-Mounting
The following rack-mounting guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
Do not move large racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of a rack, a minimum of two
people are required to accomplish this task.
Ensure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.
Ensure that proper airflow is provided to the components in the rack.
Site Planning
Do not step or stand on any component or system when servicing other systems or components in a
rack.
When mounting the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing
the unit in the rack.
General Rack-Selection Guidelines
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router can be mounted in most two-post or four-post, 19-in. equipment racks that comply with the Electronics Industries Association (EIA) standard for equipment racks (EIA-310-D 19-in.). The rack must have at least two posts with mounting flanges to mount the chassis.
Caution When mounting a chassis in any type of rack equipment, ensure that the inlet air to the chassis does not
exceed 131°F (55°C).
The distance between the center lines of the mounting holes on the two mounting posts must be 18.31 in. ± 0.06 in. (46.50 cm ± 0.15 cm). The rack-mounting hardware included with the chassis is suitable for most 19-in. (48.3-cm) equipment racks.
Consider installing the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router in a rack with the following features:
NEBS-compliant, 19-in. (48.3-cm) wide rack.
OL-32376-02
EIA or ETSI hole patterns in the mounting rails. Required mounting hardware is shipped with the
Cisco ASR 1001-X Router. If the rack that you plan to install the system in has metric-threaded rails, you must provide your own metric-mounting hardware.
Perforated top and open bottom for ventilation to prevent overheating.
Leveling feet for stability.
Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Hardware Installation Guide
3-15
Site Planning
Note The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router should not be installed in an enclosed rack because the chassis requires
an unobstructed flow of cooling air to maintain acceptable operating temperatures for its internal components. Installing the router in any type of enclosed rack—even with the front and back doors removed—could disrupt the air flow, trap heat next to the chassis, and cause an overtemperature condition inside the router. If you use an enclosed rack, make certain that there are air vents on all sides of the rack and there is proper ventilation.
Guidelines for 23-in. (Telco) Racks
If needed, you can also install the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router in 23-in. (Telco) racks. For information on the adapters needed for 23 in. racks, contact the Newton Instrument Company:

Equipment Rack Guidelines
The placement of racks can affect personnel safety, system maintenance, and the system’s ability to operate within the environmental characteristics described in Table 3 -2. Choose a proper location for the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router by following the guidelines below.
Locating for Safety
If the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router is the heaviest or the only piece of equipment in the rack, consider installing it at or near the bottom to ensure that the rack’s center of gravity is as low as possible.
For additional information about the proper placement of electronic equipment, see the document GR-63-CORE, Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) Requirements: Physical Protection.
Locating for Easy Maintenance
Keep at least 3 feet of clear space in front of and behind the rack. This space ensures that you can remove the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router components and perform routine maintenance and upgrades easily.
Avoid installing the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router in a congested rack and consider how the routing of cables from other pieces of equipment in the same rack might affect access to the routers cards.
The front and top of the chassis must remain unobstructed to ensure adequate airflow and prevent overheating inside the chassis.
Allow the following clearances for normal system maintenance:
At the top of the chassis—At least 3 in. (7.6 cm)
In front of the chassis—3 to 4 ft (91.44 cm to 121.92 cm)
To avoid problems during installation and ongoing operation, follow these general precautions when you plan the equipment locations and connections:
3-16
Use the show environment all and the show facility-alarm status command regularly to check the
internal system status. The environmental monitor continually checks the interior chassis environment; it provides warnings for high temperature and creates reports on any occurrences. If
Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Hardware Installation Guide
OL-32376-02
Chapter 3 Preparing Your Site for Installation
warning messages are displayed, take immediate action to identify the cause and correct the problem. For more information on these commands, see the “Environmental Monitoring and
Reporting Functions” section on page 5-15.
Keep the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router off the floor and out of the areas that collect dust.
Follow ESD-prevention procedures to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge
can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.
Locating for Proper Airflow
Ensure that the location of the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router has enough airflow to keep the system operating within the environmental characteristics, and the air temperature is sufficient to compensate for the heat dissipated by the system.
Avoid locating the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router in a location in which the chassis air intake vents could draw in the exhaust air from adjacent equipment. Consider how the air flows through the router. The airflow direction is front to back with ambient air drawn in from the venting located on the chassis’ front sides.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage occurs when electronic cards or components are improperly handled resulting in complete or intermittent failures. Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your system components, such as a microprocessor. As you continue to work on your system, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.
The following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
Before removing a card from the chassis, connect the equipment end of the strap to the ESD plug at the bottom of the chassis below the power entry modules.
Handle line cards by faceplates and carrier edges only; avoid touching the card components or
connector pins.
When removing a card, place the removed module component-side-up on an antistatic surface or in
a static-shielding bag. If the module id to be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding bag.
Avoid contact between the modules and clothing. The wrist strap protects the card from ESD
voltages only on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
When transporting a sensitive component, place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and
workbench pads.
OL-32376-02
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be
between 1 and 10 ohms.

Electrical Safety

Caution Always tighten the captive installation screws on all the system components when you are installing
them. These screws prevent accidental removal of the module, provide proper grounding for the system, and help ensure that the bus connectors are properly seated in the backplane.
Electrical Safety
All the system components are hot-swappable. They are designed to be removed and replaced while the system is operating, without presenting an electrical hazard or damage to the system.
Follow these basic guidelines when you are working with any electrical equipment:
Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency
power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
Disconnect all power and external cables before installing or removing a chassis.
Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
Never install equipment that appears damaged.
Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
Chapter 3 Preparing Your Site for Installation
In addition, use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is disconnected from a power source, but is still connected to telephone wiring or other network cabling:
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Warning
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Statement 1006

Chassis-Lifting Guidelines

The chassis is not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the system, ensure that your site is properly prepared so that you can avoid having to move the chassis later to accommodate power sources and network connections.
Each time you lift the chassis or any heavy object, follow these guidelines:
Ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the chassis between your feet.
Lift the chassis slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.
Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. If you must bend down to lift the
chassis, bend at the knees, not at the waist, to reduce the strain on your back muscles.

Guidelines for a Standalone Equipment Shelf or Tabletop Installation

Guidelines for a Standalone Equipment Shelf or Tabletop Installation
The chassis should already be in the area where you want to install it. If you have not determined where to install your chassis, see the “Preparing Your Site for Installation” section on page 3-1 for information about site considerations.
When installing the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router on a sturdy equipment shelf or tabletop, ensure that the surface is clean and that you have considered the following:
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router requires at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and
exhaust vents (the front and rear sides of the chassis).
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router should be installed off the floor. Dust that accumulates on the floor
is drawn into the interior of the router by the cooling fans. Excessive dust inside the router can cause overtemperature conditions and component failures.
There must be approximately 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the chassis to
install and replace FRUs, or to access network cables and equipment.
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router needs adequate ventilation. Do not install it in an enclosed cabinet
where ventilation is inadequate.
Keep the cable-management bracket ready if you plan to install it on the front of the chassis.
Ensure that an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection exists for your router chassis (see the
“Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection” section on page 4-10).

Steps for Installing the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router on a Standalone Equipment Shelf or Tabletop Installation

To mount your Cisco ASR 1001-X Router on an equipment shelf or tabletop, follow these steps.
Step 1 Remove any debris and dust from the tabletop or platform, as well as the surrounding area. Step 2 Lift the chassis into position on the equipment shelf or tabletop.
Note Step 3 through Step 9 are optional if you are installing the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router on a rack
shelf. The chassis rack-mount brackets must be installed prior to installing the cable-management brackets. See the “Attaching the Chassis Rack-Mount Brackets” section on
page 4-5 and the “Attaching the Cable Management Bracket” section on page 4-9.
Step 3 Attach the front rack-mount brackets. Locate the threaded holes in the front sides of the chassis (first
holes beyond the vent holes) and use the package of black screws that shipped with the chassis.
Step 4 Align the front rack-mount bracket to one side of the chassis. Step 5 Insert and tighten the screws on one side. Step 6 Repeat Step 2 through Step 3 on the other side of the chassis. Use all the screws to secure the rack-mount
brackets to the chassis.

OL-32376-02
Chapter 4 Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Installation
Note Ensure that the cable-management U feature device has the open end pointing outwards when
you attach it to the chassis.
Step 7 Gather the two cable-management brackets and screws shipped with your chassis. See the “Attaching the
Cable Management Bracket” section on page 4-9.
Step 8 Screw a cable-management bracket to each side of the rack-mount brackets that are attached to the
chassis. Use two screws for each cable-management bracket. Use a screw from the package of four screws.
Step 9 Check that all the screws are securely tightened. Step 10 Go to the “Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection” section on page 4-10 for instructions about
continuing the installation.

General Guidelines for Rack Installation

When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router requires a minimum of 3.5 inches or 8.9 cm rack units of vertical
rack space. Measure the proposed rack location before mounting the chassis in the rack.
Before using a particular rack, check for obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair
rack-mount installation. If a power strip does impair a rack-mount installation, remove the power strip before installing the chassis, and then replace it after the chassis is installed.
General Guidelines for Rack Installation
Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. If the rack is mobile, you can push it
back near a wall or cabinet for normal operation and pull it out for maintenance (installing or moving cards, connecting cables, or replacing or upgrading components). Otherwise, allow 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance to remove field-replaceable units.
Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 inches on the front and back sides of the chassis for the cooling
air inlet and exhaust ports, respectively. Avoid placing the chassis in an overly congested rack or directly next to another equipment rack; the heated exhaust air from other equipment can enter the inlet air vents and cause an overtemperature condition inside the router.
Caution To prevent chassis overheating, never install a Cisco ASR 1001-X Router in an enclosed space that is
not properly ventilated or air conditioned.
Always install heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low center of gravity to
prevent the rack from falling over.
Install and use the cable-management brackets included with the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router to keep
cables organized and out of the way of the cards and processors. Ensure that cables from other equipment already installed in the rack do not impair access to the cards or require you to disconnect cables unnecessarily to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades.
Provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your router chassis.
In addition to the preceding guidelines, review the precautions for avoiding excessive temperature conditions in the “Physical Characteristics” section on page 3-10 and the “Site Environmental
Requirements” section on page 3-9.

Connecting the Console and Auxiliary Port Cables

This section describes how to attach a cable to the console port or to the auxiliary ports on the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router. The router uses RJ-45 ports for both auxiliary ports and console ports to attach a console terminal.
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router has an asynchronous serial (EIA/TIA-232) RJ-45 console port labeled CON on its front panel. You can connect this port to most types of video terminals with a console cable kit that is included with your Cisco ASR 1001-X Router. The console cable kit contains:
One RJ-45-to-RJ-45 crossover cable
One RJ-45-to-DB-9 (female) adapter

OL-32376-02
Chapter 4 Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Installation
A crossover cable reverses pin connections from one end to the other. In other words, it connects pin 1 (at one end) to pin 8 (at the other end), pin 2 to pin 7, pin 3 to pin 6, and so on. You can identify a crossover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends in your hand, side-by-side, with the tabs at the back. Ensure that the wire connected to the outside (left) pin of the left plug (pin 1) is the same color as the wire connected to the outside (right) pin of the right plug (pin 8).
Caution Both the console and auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; devices connected to these ports must
be capable of asynchronous transmission. To meet Class A emissions requirements, shielded cables must be used for the console and auxiliary port connectors.
Before connecting to the console interface on the router using a terminal or PC, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the chassis console
port as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (9600 8N1).
Step 2 Connect one end of the RJ-45 cable to the serial RJ-45 console port (CON) on the Cisco ASR 1000-X
Router using the RJ-45 to DB-9 cable. Connect the DB-9 end to your terminal equipment.
Connecting Cables
Note For information about how to change the default settings to meet the requirements of your terminal or
host, see the Cisco IOS Terminal Services Configuration Guide.
Step 3 After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.
Use the following procedure to connect a video terminal to the console port.
Step 4 Go to the “Connecting to the Mini USB Console Port” section on page 4-13 to continue the installation.

Connecting to the Mini USB Console Port

The USB serial console port connects directly to the USB connector of a PC using a USB Type A to 5-pin mini USB Type-B cable. The USB Console supports full speed (12Mbps) operation. The console port does not support hardware flow control.
Note Always use shielded USB cables with a properly terminated shield. The USB serial console interface
cable must not exceed 3 meters in length.
Only one console port can be active at a time. When a cable is plugged into the USB console port,
the RJ-45 port becomes inactive. Conversely, when the USB cable is removed from the USB port, the RJ-45 port becomes active.
4-pin mini USB Type-B connectors are easily confused with 5-pin mini USB Type-B connectors.
Note that only the 5-pin mini USB Type-B is supported.
OL-32376-02
The default parameters for the console port are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
For operation with a Microsoft Windows OS version older than Windows 7, the Cisco Windows USB Console Driver must be installed on any PC connected to the console port. If the driver is not installed, prompts guide you through a simple installation process.
The Cisco Windows USB Console Driver allows plugging and unplugging the USB cable from the console port without affecting Windows HyperTerminal operations. No special drivers are needed for Mac OS X or Linux.
Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Hardware Installation Guide

Chapter 4 Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Installation
Connecting Cables
Baud rates for the USB console port are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 bps.

Management Ethernet Port Cable Connection

Caution To comply with Class A emission requirements, a shielded Ethernet cable must be used for the
connection.
To use the Management Ethernet interface on the router, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Insert an Ethernet RJ-45 cable into the MGMT ETHERNET port. Step 2 Insert the other end of the RJ-45 cable to your management device or network.

Connecting the Built-in 1 GE SFP and 10 GE SFP+ Port Cables

Built-in 1 Gigabit Ethernet Port
The six built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports (highlighted in yellow on the front panel) have six individual fiber-optic receivers that support SFP modules. Each port can send and receive traffic using the optical fiber connections.
SFP Module Connections
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module is an input/output (I/O) device that plugs into the six Gigabit Ethernet optical slots on the six built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Note The six built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports will only accept the SFP modules listed as supported in Tabl e 2-2.
An SFP module check is run every time an SFP module is inserted into the built-in Gigabit Ethernet port and only SFP modules that pass this check will be usable. SFP modules exist for technologies other than Gigabit Ethernet and for products other than the six built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Built-in 10 Gigabit Ethernet Port
The two built-in 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports (highlighted in orange on the front panel) have two individual fiber-optic receivers that support SFP+ modules. Each port can send and receive traffic using the optical fiber connections.
SFP+ Module Connections

Performing the Initial Configuration on the Router
You can perform initial configuration on the router using the procedure described in the following sections:
“Using the Cisco setup Command Facility” section on page 5-4
“Using the Cisco IOS-XE CLI—Manual Configuration” section on page 5-7

Using the Cisco setup Command Facility

The setup command facility prompts you to enter the information that is needed to configure a router quickly. The facility takes you through an initial configuration, including LAN and WAN interfaces.
Note The setup command facility is entered automatically if there is no configuration on the router when it is
booted into Cisco IOS-XE.
For information on modifying the configuration after you create it, see the Cisco IOS XE Configuration
Guide and the Cisco IOS XE Command References.
This section explains how to configure a host name for the router, set passwords, and configure an interface to communicate with the management network.
5-4
Note If you make a mistake while using the setup command facility, you can exit and run the setup command
facility again. Press Ctrl-C, and enter the setup command in privileged EXEC mode (Router#).
Step 1 From the Cisco IOS-XE CLI, enter the setup command in privileged EXEC mode:

Gigabit Ethernet Management Interface Overview

The router provides an Ethernet management port named GigabitEthernet0.
The purpose of this interface is to allow users to perform management tasks on the router; it is an interface that should not, and often cannot, forward network traffic, but can be used to access the router via Telnet and SSH to perform management tasks on the router. The interface is most useful before a router has begun routing, or in troubleshooting scenarios when other forwarding interfaces are inactive.
The following aspects of the management Ethernet interface should be noted:
The router has one management Ethernet interface named GigabitEthernet0.
IPv4, IPv6, and ARP are the only routed protocols supported for the interface.
The interface provides a way to access the router even if forwarding interfaces are not functional, or
the Cisco IOS is down.
The management Ethernet interface is part of its own VRF. See the Cisco ASR 1000 Series
Aggregation Services Routers Software Configuration Guide for more details.

Performing the Initial Configuration on the Router
Default Gigabit Ethernet Configuration
By default, a forwarding VRF is configured for the interface with a special group named Mgmt-intf. This cannot be changed. This isolates the traffic on the management interface away from the forwarding plane. Otherwise, the interface can be configured like other Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for most functions.
For example, the default configuration is as follows:
interface GigabitEthernet0 vrf forwarding Mgmt-intf ip address 172.18.77.212 255.255.255.240 negotiation auto
Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces
This sections shows how to assign an IP address and interface description to an Ethernet interface on your router.
For comprehensive configuration information on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, see the “Configuring LAN Interfaces” chapter of the Cisco IOS Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide.
For information on interface numbering, see the software configuration guide pertaining to your router.

Note The fans in the power supply modules will continue to run even if the Standby switch is in the Standby
position.
Note After powering off the router, wait for a minimum of 30 seconds before powering it on again.
Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Functions
Environmental monitoring and reporting functions allow you to maintain normal system operation by identifying and resolving adverse conditions prior to loss of operation.
Caution To prevent overheating of the chassis, ensure that your system is drawing cool inlet air. Over temperature
conditions may occur if the system is drawing in the exhaust air of other equipment. Ensure adequate clearance around the sides of the chassis so that cooling air can flow through the chassis interior unimpeded and exhaust air exits the chassis and is not drawn into the inlet vent of another device.

Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Functions

Cisco ASR1001-X Router Alarm Monitoring

The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router displays the CRIT, MAJ, and MIN alarm indicator LEDs. The three system alarm LEDs on the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router provide visual alarm notification in the router. These LEDs indicate router status at all times, but you must directly observe these LEDs to become aware of a router alarm condition. Additionally, you can use the show facility-alarm status command to view the alarms.
Router# show facility-alarm status

Chapter 5 Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Power Up and Initial Configuration
Note There is no external alarm monitoring facility on the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router.
To clear a visual alarm, you must resolve the alarm condition. The clear facility-alarm command does not clear an alarm LED on the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router. For example, if a critical alarm LED is illuminated because an active SPA was removed without a graceful deactivation of the SPA, the only way to resolve that alarm is to replace the SPA.

Environmental Monitoring

The environmental monitoring functions use sensors to monitor the temperature of the cooling air as it moves through the chassis.
The local power supplies provide the ability to monitor:
Input and output voltage
Output current
Outlet temperature
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router is expected to meet the following environmental operating conditions:
Operating Temperature Nominal: 0° to 40°C
Operating Temperature Short Term: 0° to +55°C
Operating Humidity Nominal (relative humidity): 10 to 90% relative
Operating Humidity Short Term: 5 to 90% relative
5-16
Operating Altitude: –500 to 10,000 feet
DC Input Range: –40 to –72 VDC
Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Hardware Installation Guide
OL-32376-02
Chapter 5 Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Power Up and Initial Configuration
AC Input Range: 85 to 264 VAC
In addition, the power supplies monitor internal power supply temperatures and voltages. A power supply is either within tolerance (normal) or out of tolerance (critical). If an internal power supply temperature or voltage reaches a critical level, the power supply shuts down without any interaction with the system processor.
The environmental monitoring functions use the following levels of status conditions to monitor the system:
Normal—All monitored parameters are within normal tolerances.
Warning—The system has exceeded a specified threshold. The system continues to operate, but
operator action is recommended to bring the system back to a normal state.
Critical—An out-of-tolerance temperature or voltage condition exists. The system continues to
operate, but the system is approaching shutdown. Immediate operator action is required.
Shutdown—Before any shutdown, the system logs the status of monitored parameters in NVRAM
so that you can retrieve it later to help determine the cause of the problem.
Power supply shutdown—The power supply detected an internal out-of-tolerance overvoltage,
overcurrent, or temperature condition and shut itself down. All DC power remains disabled until you toggle the power switch.
Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Functions
Note The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router does not shut down automatically during an over-temperature condition.
The router will remain active irrespective of what the ambient temperature is, if the router is exposed to an extremely hot environment for a prolonged period of time, it will remain active until the hardware fails.
The facility-alarm critical exceed-action shutdown command is disabled on the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router.
The console terminal displays the following error message if you execute the facility-alarm critical exceed-action shutdown command:
Router(config)# facility-alarm critical exceed-action shutdown

Fan Failures

Four internal fans draw cooling air into the chassis and across internal components to maintain an acceptable operating temperature. The fans are located in the center of the chassis. The fans are numbered from 0 to 3, right to left. When the system power is on, all fans should be operational. However, the system continues to operate even if a fan fails.
Use the show platform hardware slot <slot> fan status command to view the status of the fans, for example:

Configuring the Throughput Level

Use the show running-config command or the show startup-config command to view the license-level information. The following example displays sample output from the show running-config command:
Router# show running-config
.
.
.
license boot level adventerprise
.
.
.
Table 6-2 show running-config Command Output Description
Field Name Description
license boot level adventerprise
Chapter 6 Cisco ASR 1001-X Router License Verification
Indicates the current requested Cisco lOS license level to boot.
Configuring the Throughput Level
The built-in embedded service processor of the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router supports throughputs of 2.5 Gbps (default), 5 Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 20 Gbps depending upon the software license.
You can upgrade the throughput of the ESP from 2.5 Gbps (default) to 5 Gbps, 10 Gbps, or 20 Gbps by applying a software-activated performance upgrade license and then reloading the router. You can upgrade the throughput of the ESP from any license level to another.
To determine the current throughput level of the ESP, run the show platform hardware throughput level command. The following example shows the output from this command after you apply the 20 Gbps performance upgrade license and reload the router:
Router# show platform hardware throughput level The current throughput level is 2000000 kb/s
After the router is reloaded, the log messages at the router startup will display the license-level and throughput-level information, for example:
%IOS_LICENSE_IMAGE_APPLICATION-6-LICENSE_LEVEL: Module name = asr1001x Next reboot level = adventerprise and License = adventerprise
%IOSXE_THROUGHPUT-6-LEVEL: Throughput level has been set to 20000000 kbps
The following message will be displayed once every 24 hours if the traffic handled by the system-forwarding plane approaches or exceeds the configured throughput license level. The configured throughput level in this example is 20 Gbps:
Exceeding 95% threshold:
*May 24 09:42:41.687 EDT: %BW_LICENSE-5-THROUGHPUT_THRESHOLD_LEVEL: F0: cpp_ha: Average throughput rate exceeded 95 percent of licensed bandwidth 20000000000 bps 25 times, sample period 300 seconds, in last 24 hours
Exceeding total bw:
*May 24 09:42:41.687 EDT: %BW_LICENSE-4-THROUGHPUT_MAX_LEVEL: F0: cpp_ha: Average throughput rate exceeded the total licensed bandwidth 20000000000 bps and dropped 8 times, sample period 300 seconds, in last 24 hours
