Preparing for Installation

Cisco ASR 9001 Router

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, 10 GE and 40 GE modular port adapters (MPAs). The base chassis has four integrated 10 GE enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) ports, a GPS input for stratum-1 clocking, building integrated timing supply (BITS) ports, and management ports. Figure 1-1 shows the front panel of the Cisco ASR 9001 Router.

Figure 1-1 Front Panel of the Cisco ASR 9001 Router

Cisco ASR 9001-S Router

The Cisco ASR 9001-S Router is a 60 Gbps variant of the Cisco ASR 9001 Router. Similar to other routers in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series, running Cisco IOS XR software images, the Cisco ASR 9001-S Router delivers the features and services found on the ASR 9000 Series platforms, allowing customers to standardize on the same Cisco IOS XR image. The Cisco ASR 9001-S Router comes standard with one modular bay (BAY 0) that supports either a 1 GE, 10 GE, or 40 GE modular port adapters (MPAs). The chassis also comes usable with two fixed SFP+ ports (SFP+0 and SFP+1). The second MPA slot (BAY 1) and other two SFP+ ports (SFP+2 and SFP+3) are disabled and covered with dust caps by default. It supports the same set of features and scaling for each NPU as does the Cisco ASR 9001 Router. Figure 1-2 shows the front panel of the Cisco ASR 9001-S Router.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Many router components can be damaged by static electricity. Not exercising the proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions can result in intermittent or complete component failures. To minimize the potential for ESD damage, always use an ESD-preventive antistatic wrist strap (or ankle strap) and ensure that it makes good skin contact.

Note Check the resistance value of the ESD-preventive strap periodically. The measurement should be

between 1 and 10 megohms.

Before you perform any procedure in this guide, attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist and connect the leash to the chassis as shown in Figure 1-3.

Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation

• Do not lift equipment alone; have another person help you to lift the equipment.

• Ensure that your footing is solid; balance the weight of the object between your feet.

• Lift the equipment slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.

• Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. When bending down to lift

equipment, bend at the knees (not at the waist), to reduce the strain on your lower back muscles.

Site Requirement Guidelines

Warning

To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the handles on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed to support the weight of the unit.

Statement 1032

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 1-9

• 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.

• 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:

Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation

Site Wiring Guidelines

When planning the location of the router, consider distance limitations for signaling, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and connector compatibility. If the wiring is run for any significant distance in an electromagnetic field, interference can occur between the field and the signals on the wires. Poor wiring can cause:

• Radio interference emanating from the wires.

• Strong EMI, especially when caused by lightning or radio transmitters. EMI can destroy the signal

drivers and receivers in the router, and can even create an electrical hazard by conducting power surges through lines and into equipment.

Note To predict and remedy strong EMI, you may need to consult with radio frequency interference

(RFI) experts.

Site wiring is unlikely to emit radio interference if you use twisted-pair cable with good distribution of grounding conductors. Use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data signal, when applicable.

Give special consideration to the effect of lightning strikes in your vicinity, especially if the wiring exceeds recommended distances, or if it passes between buildings. The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) caused by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can easily induce enough energy into unshielded conductors, and destroy electronic devices. If you have experienced EMP problems in the past, you may want to consult experts in electrical surge suppression and shielding.

Most data centers cannot resolve infrequent, but potentially catastrophic, problems without pulse meters and other special equipment. In addition, these problems can take a great deal of time to identify and resolve. We recommend that you take the necessary precautions to avoid these problems by providing a properly grounded and shielded environment, with special attention to issues of electrical surge suppression.

Site Requirement Guidelines

Chassis Air Flow Guidelines

Cool air is circulated through the Cisco ASR 9001 Router by one fan tray located along the right side of the router (Figure 1-5).

The fan tray maintains acceptable operating temperatures for the internal components by drawing in cool air through the vents, and circulating the air through the chassis. Each power supply is also equipped with fans that draw cool air into the front of the power supply and force warm air out of the air exhaust.

Note See Rack-Mounting and Air Flow Clearance Guidelines, page 1-9 for details on air flow clearance

requirements for installation in an enclosed 4-post rack.

Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation

Air exhaust

Room air

331882

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, page 1-9 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.

or along each side

Item a in Figure 1-6 shows a telco-style rack. The telco-style rack is an open frame consisting of two 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 (see Figure 1-7 as an example of a Cisco ASR 9001 Router rack mounting). Two rear mounting brackets are provided for mounting the Cisco ASR 9001 Router in a 2-post rack.

Note The mounting brackets on the Cisco ASR 9001 Router chassis have a pair of holes at the top and bottom

of each bracket and three slots (elongated holes). If the Cisco ASR 9001 Router is to be mounted in a 2-post 19-inch rack, you must first use the holes to locate and position the brackets on the rack. Insert screws through the bracket holes into the rack before inserting screws through the bracket slots.

Item b in Figure 1-6 shows a free-standing, 4-post open rack with two mounting posts in the front and two mounting posts in the back or along the side. The mounting posts in this type of rack are often adjustable so that you can position the rack-mounted unit within the depth of the rack rather than flush-mount it with the front of the rack.

Two rear mounting brackets are provided for mounting the Cisco ASR 9001 Router in a 4-post rack.

Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation

Enclosed Rack with Perforated Sides

Item c in Figure 1-6 shows a free-standing 4-post enclosed rack with perforated sides and two mounting posts in the front.

Caution Do not install the Cisco ASR 9001 Router in any type of fully-enclosed rack that does not have the

required perforated sides or doors; the router requires an unobstructed flow of cooling air to maintain acceptable operating temperatures for its internal components. Installing the router in any type of fully-enclosed rack without proper perforation could disrupt the air flow, trap heat next to the chassis, and cause an over-temperature condition inside the router.

Air Flow Guidelines for Enclosed Rack Installation

To install a Cisco ASR 9001 Router in a 4-post enclosed cabinet, the front and rear doors of the cabinet must be removed or be perforated with a minimum of 65% open area (70% for ETSI 800mm racks).

If you are mounting the chassis in a 4-post enclosed cabinet, ensure that you have these clearances around the chassis:

• Rear: Minimum of 3.15 inches (8.00 cm) of clearance

Site Requirement Guidelines

• 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

Temperature and Humidity Guidelines

The operating and nonoperating environmental site requirements are listed in Tab l e A-2. The router normally operates within the ranges listed in Environmental Specifications, page A-2; however, if a temperature measurement is approaching a minimum or maximum parameter, it indicates a potential problem. Maintain normal operation by anticipating and correcting environmental anomalies before they approach critical values, by properly planning and preparing your site before you install the router.

Power Connection Guidelines

You can configure the router with either an AC-input or DC-input power subsystem, so the site power source requirements differ depending on the power subsystem in your router. Ensure all power connection wiring conforms to the rules and regulations in the National Electrical Code (NEC) as well as local codes.

Caution Each Cisco ASR 9001 Router is powered by only one type of input: AC or DC. A hybrid (AC+DC)

power configuration is not supported.

Cisco ASR 9001 and Cisco ASR 9001-S Routers Hardware Installation Guide

Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation

Caution Proper grounding is necessary to avoid damage from lightning and power surges. See NEBS

Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines, 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

Each of the AC power inputs requires a separate dedicated branch circuit. For a list of the nominal and acceptable value ranges for source AC power, see Tab le A-5.

Table 1-1 lists the AC-input power cord options, specifications, and Cisco product numbers for the

AC-input power supply modules. Tab le 1-1 also references power cord illustrations. For more information on Cisco product numbers (PIDs) and their detailed description of power cords, refer to Dynamic Configuration Tool.

Site Requirement Guidelines

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 –40.5 VDC to –72 VDC. One dedicated, commensurately rated DC power source is required for each power module connection.

Power connections to the each DC power module requires two cables: one source cable and one return cable.

For DC power cables, we recommend that you use 20-A-rated, high-strand-count copper wire cables.

The length of the cables depends on your router location from the source power.

Note DC power cables are not available from Cisco, but they are available from external commercial cable

vendors.

You must terminate DC power cables using terminal blocks. The terminal blocks are supplied along with the DC power supply modules from Cisco. The terminal block part number is PC 5/2-STF-7.62 BD:+,from Phoenix contact.

The color coding of the source DC power cable leads depends on the color coding of the site DC power source. Because there is no color code standard for source DC wiring, be sure that power source cables are connected to the power modules using the proper positive (+) and negative (–) polarity:

• In some cases, the source DC cable leads might have a positive (+) or a negative (–) label. This is a

relatively safe indication of the polarity, but you must also verify the polarity by measuring the voltage between the DC cable leads. Be sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) cable leads match the positive (+) and negative (–) labels on the power module when making the measurement.

• Green (or green and yellow) cable typically indicates that it is a ground cable.

Caution DC power modules contain reverse voltage protection circuitry to prevent damage to the power module

if it detects a reverse polarity condition. No damage should occur from reverse polarity, but you should correct a reverse polarity condition immediately.

For a list of the nominal and acceptable value ranges for source DC power, see Power System DC Output

Levels, page A-4.

NEBS Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines

You must permanently connect the central office ground system or interior equipment grounding system to the supplemental bonding and grounding connection on the side of the router chassis to meet network equipment building system (NEBS) requirements as well as safety compliance requirements. These grounding points are referred to as the NEBS bonding and grounding points.

Figure 1-22 shows the NEBS grounding locations for the Cisco ASR 9001 Router.

Note These bonding and grounding connections satisfy the Telcordia NEBS requirements for supplemental

bonding and grounding connections. For an AC powered router, 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 power modules.

Figure 1-22 NEBS Bonding and Grounding Points on the Cisco ASR 9001 Router

1-20

332017

1 NEBS grounding point on side of chassis

To ensure a satisfactory supplemental ground connection to the router, use these parts:

• One grounding lug, which has two M6 bolt holes with 0.625- to 0.75-inch (15.86- to 19.05-mm)

spacing between them, and a wire receptacle large enough to accept a six AWG or larger, multistrand copper wire. For four AWG cable, use Panduit part number LCD4-14AF-L; for six AWG, use Panduit part number LCD6-14AF-L.

• Two 10-32 round-head screws and two locking washers (nickel-plated brass is ideal).

• One grounding wire. Although we recommend at least six AWG multistrand copper wire, the wire

diameter and length depend on your router location and site environment. This cable is not available from Cisco Systems; it is available from any commercial cable vendor.

• Console port—RJ-45 interface for connecting a data terminal device to the router, which you need

to perform the initial configuration of the router.

• Auxiliary port—RJ-45 interface for connecting a modem.

Note The console and auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports. Ensure that devices connected to

these ports are capable of asynchronous transmission.

Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation

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 (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.

Table 1-5 lists the signals used on the Management LAN ports.

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 (Figure 1-23).

Note Both ports must be configured to be in the same mode. It is not possible to use external BITS and J.211

sources at the same time.

When configured as BITS ports, they provide connections for an external synchronization source. Such connections are for establishing precise frequency control at multiple network nodes, if required for your application. The RP card contains a synchronous equipment timing source (SETS) that can receive a frequency reference from an external BITS timing interface or from a clock signal recovered from any incoming Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface. The RP SETS circuit filters the received timing signal and uses it to drive outgoing Ethernet interfaces.

The BITS input can be T1, E1 or 64K 4/. The BITS output can be T1, E1 or 6.312M 5/.

When configured as J.211 ports, they can be used as Universal Timing Interface (UTI) ports to synchronize timing across multiple routers by connecting to an external timing source.

Installing the Air Plenum Kit

The air plenum kit is mounted in the rack before the Cisco ASR 9001 Router is installed. The steps for mounting the air plenum kit in the rack are different, depending on the whether the kit is pre-assembled before mounting it in the rack or assembled after the plenum base is mounted in the rack.

• If the air plenum kit is pre-assembled before mounting it in the rack:

The side baffles, air filter assembly, and cable management tray are attached to the plenum base outside the rack. The plenum assembly is then installed from the rear of the 19-inch rack, or from the front or rear of the 23-inch rack.

• If the air plenum kit is assembled after the plenum is mounted in the rack:

The plenum base is first installed from the front (applicable to 19-inch rack). The side baffles, air filter assembly, and cable management tray are then installed in the plenum base after it has been mounted in the rack.

Note The cable guide is attached to the rack after the Cisco ASR 9001 Router is installed.

Aggregation Services Router Ethernet Line Card Installation Guide for a list of parts and tools required

for installation.

Caution Always handle the modular port adapter (MPA) by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the modular

port adapter (MPA) components or connector pins. (Figure 3-7.)

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 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.

Online Insertion and Removal

Cisco ASR 9001 Router modular port adapters (MPAs) support online insertion and removal (OIR).

Modular port adapters (MPAs) support three types of OIR:

• Soft OIR

Soft OIR uses the IOS XR hw-module subslot 0/0/1 reload, hw-module subslot 0/0/1 shutdown, and no hw-module subslot 0/0/1 shutdown commands to complete online insertion and removal. Refer to the Hardware Redundancy and Node Administration Commands on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router chapter of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router System Management Command Reference online for command syntax.

• Managed OIR

A managed online insertion and removal of Modular port adapters (MPAs) is comprised of these steps:

1. Shut down the MPA with the hw-module subslot 0/0/1 shutdown command.

2. Confirm that the LEDs have gone from green to off.

3. Execute the do show plat command to verify that the MPA to be removed is in the disabled

state.

4. Physically remove the MPA to be replaced.

5. Physically insert the replacement MPA

6. Return the MPA to the up state with the no hw-module subslot 0/0/1 shutdown command.

• Hard OIR

Hard OIR is the physical online insertion and removal of Modular port adapters (MPAs) without software commands. Four types of hard OIR are supported:

If the bay is empty when the Cisco ASR 9001 Router modular line card (MLC) boots you can do the following:

–

Insert a 20 GE MPA

–

Remove and then insert a replacement 20 GE MPA

If the MLC boots with a 20 GE MPA in the bay you can remove and then insert a replacement 20 GE MPA

If the MLC boots with a 4 10-GE MPA in the bay you can remove and then insert a replacement 4 10-GE MPA

If the MLC boots with a 2 10-GE MPA in the bay you can remove and then insert a replacement 2 10-GE MPA

Note Only replacement with same types of MPA is supported by Managed OIR and Hard OIR. An

empty bay during the Cisco ASR 9001 Router modular line card (MLC) bootup defaults to 20 GE MPA mode.

Modular Port Adapter (MPA) Installation and Removal

This section provides step-by-step instructions for removing and installing a modular port adapter (MPA).

Caution When performing these procedures, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to the modular

port adapter (MPA). Some platforms have an ESD connector for attaching the wrist strap. Do not directly touch the midplane or backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.

To remove and install a modular port adapter (MPA), perform these steps:

Step 1 To insert the MPA, carefully slide the MPA all the way until it stops.

Note The modular port adapter (MPA) will slide easily into the slot if it is properly aligned on the tracks. If

MPA does not slide easily, do NOT force it. Remove the MPA and reposition it, paying close attention to engaging it on the tracks.

Step 2 To fully seat the MPA, use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the jackscrew on the MPA.

Note Avoid over torquing the modular port adapter (MPA) jackscrew when installing the MPA.

Tighten the jackscrew on the MPA to a torque of 17 +/-1 inch-pound. Do not use a power screwdriver to tighten the MPA jackscrew.

Step 3 To remove the MPA, use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the lock screw on the MPA. Make

sure that the cables are disconnected from the MPA first.

Step 4 Grasp the MPA and pull the MPA from the slot.

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

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

Checking the Installation

This section describes the procedures you can use to verify the modular port adapter (MPA) installation, and includes information on these topics:

• Verifying the Installation, page 3-11

• Using show Commands to Verify Modular Port Adapter (MPA) Status, page 3-12

Installing and Removing Modular Port Adapters

• Using show Commands to Display Modular Port Adapter (MPA) Information, page 3-12

• Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity, page 3-13

Verifying the Installation

This section describes how to verify the modular port adapter (MPA) installation by observing the MPA LED states.

When the system has reinitialized all interfaces, the 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.

To verify that a MPA is installed correctly:

Step 1 Observe the console display messages and verify that the system discovers the modular line card (MLC),

while the system reinitializes each interface, thus:

• As the MPA is initialized, the STATUS LED will first be amber, indicating that power is on. When

the modular port adapter card (MPA) is active, the STATUS LED will illuminate green.

Step 2 When the MPA STATUS LEDs are green, all associated interfaces are configurable.

• If a MPA is replaced with a module of the same type (as in an OIR or hardware swap), the previous

configuration is reinstated when the MPA becomes active.

• If a MPA was not previously installed in the same slot or subslot, then the configuration for all

associated interfaces is empty.

Note New interfaces are not made available until you configure them.

Chapter 3 Installing Modules and Cables in the Chassis

Installing and Removing Modular Port Adapters

Step 3 If the modular port adapters (MPAs) do not become active within three minutes, refer to the system

console messages. If there is no indication that a field-programmable device (FPD) upgrade is underway, see Troubleshooting the Installation, page 4-1.

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.

To verify the MPA status:

Step 1 Use the show running-config command to display the system configuration. Verify that the

configuration includes the new MPA interfaces.

Step 2 Use the show diag command to display information about the installed modular line cards (MLCs).

Step 3 Use the show hw-module fpd location <rack/slot/subslot> command to verify the FPD version

information of the MPAs installed in the system.

Note If a modular port adapter (MPA) does not meet the minimum version required, the FPD may need

to be updated. See the 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

Step 4 Use the show platform command to check the state of all boards in the chassis, including the MLC and

the MPAs.

The MPA state should be “OK” and the MLC state should be “IOS XR RUN” in the show platform command output.

Step 5 Use the show version command to obtain software version information for the installed MLCs as well

as interfaces available.

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 the ping command to verify the status of the MPA ports. See the Cisco ASR

9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Getting Started Guide and the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide for more

information on bringing up and configuring the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router and the Cisco ASR 9000 A9K-MOD80G-H.

The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After sending a series of signals, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to echo the signals. Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each signal that is not returned before the specified timeout is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points

(!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed]

indicate that the connection failed.

This is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the IP address 10.1.1.60:

Router# ping 10.1.1.60 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.1.1.60, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms Router#

If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the destination device and that the destination device is active (powered on), and then repeat the ping command.

Chapter 3 Installing Modules and Cables in the Chassis

Connecting to the RP Console Port

The system console port on the RP is an RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a data terminal to perform the initial configuration of the router. Depending on the cabling pinout on the terminal server end, the console port will require either a crossover cable or a straight-through RJ-45 cable. See

Cisco ASR 9001 Router Port Connection Guidelines, page 1-21 for additional information about the

console port.

See Figure 3-12 and follow these steps to connect a data terminal to the RP console port:

Step 1 Set your terminal to these operational values: 115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits

(115200 8N1).

Step 2 Attach the terminal end of the cable to the interface port on the data terminal.

Step 3 Attach the other end of the cable to the RP console port.

Step 4 Power on the data terminal.

Connecting Route Processor Cables

Connecting to the RP Auxiliary Port

The auxiliary port on the RP is a RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a modem or other data communication equipment (DCE) device (such as another router) to the RP. The asynchronous auxiliary port supports hardware flow control and modem control. See Cisco ASR 9001 Router Port Connection Guidelines,

page 1-21 for additional information about the auxiliary port.

See Figure 3-12 and follow these steps to connect an asynchronous serial device to the RP auxiliary port:

Step 1 Power off the asynchronous serial device.

Step 2 Attach the device end of the cable to the interface port on the asynchronous serial device.

Step 3 Attach the other end of the cable to the RP auxiliary port.

Step 4 Power on the asynchronous serial device.

Connecting to the RP Ethernet Management Ports

To connect cables to the RP management ports, attach STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables directly to the MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1 RJ-45 receptacles on the RP. STP cables are required to meet NEBS requirements. See Management LAN Ports Connection Guidelines, page 1-24 for additional information about the Ethernet management LAN ports.

Note RJ-45 cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from external commercial cable

vendors. Use cables that comply with EIA/TIA-568 standards.

Connecting Power to the Router

Caution Ethernet 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.

Note The 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 1 Plug the cable directly into the RJ-45 receptacle.

Step 2 Connect 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 3-20

• Connecting Power to a DC-Powered Router, page 3-22

Caution A router must be operated with all its power modules installed at all times for electromagnetic

compatibility (EMC).

Connecting Power to an AC-Powered Router

Use this procedure to connect the AC power cords to the router.

Note Connect each AC power supply to a dedicated power source (branch circuit). Each AC-input

power supply operates at a nominal input level of 100 to 240 VAC and requires at least a 15 A service for use in North America and Japan, or a 10 A service for international use. For more information on AC power input levels, see Power Connection Guidelines, page 1-12.

Step 1 Check that the power switch at the front of the chassis is set to the OFF position.

Step 2 Check that the circuit breaker assigned to the AC power source you are connecting is set to OFF.

Step 3 Connect the permanent ground connection (central office grounding system) to the NEBS grounding

location on the router chassis.

3-20

Note To 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.

Step 4 Plug the AC power cord into the receptacle at the front of the chassis (Figure 3-13).

Connecting Power to the Router

Connecting Power to a DC-Powered Router

This section contains the procedures to connect the DC source power cables to a DC-powered router.

The color coding of source DC power cable leads depends on the color coding of the site DC power source. Because there is no color code standard for source DC wiring, you must be sure that power source cables are connected to the power module with the proper positive (+) and negative (–) polarity:

• In some cases, the source DC cable leads might have a positive (+) or a negative (–) label. This is a

relatively safe indication of the polarity, but you must verify the polarity by measuring the voltage between the DC cable leads. Be sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) cable leads match the

positive (+) and negative (–) labels on the power module when making the measurement.

• Green (or green and yellow) cable typically indicates that it is a ground cable.

Caution DC power modules contain reverse voltage protection circuitry to prevent damage to the module if it

detects a reverse polarity condition. No damage should occur from reverse polarity, but you should correct a reverse-polarity condition immediately.

Chapter 3 Installing Modules and Cables in the Chassis

Note The length of the cables depends on the location of your router in relation to the source of DC power.

These cables are not available from Cisco Systems. They are available from external commercial cable vendors. For more information on site power and source DC cable requirements, see Power Connection

Guidelines, page 1-12.

Note To ensure that power remains off while you are performing this procedure, follow proper lockout /tagout

procedures as defined by your company in accordance with local and national laws.

Use this procedure to connect the DC source power cables to a DC power module:

Step 1 Verify that the power switch is set to the OFF position.

Step 2 Connect the DC power cables in the following order (Figure 3-14):

a. Positive cables first.

b. Negative cable last.

Step 3 Repeat Step 2 for the other power modules installed in the chassis.

Caution 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 Overview

CHA P T ER

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.

For troubleshooting purposes in this chapter, the router consists of these subsystems:

Cisco ASR 9001 and Cisco ASR 9001-S Routers Hardware Installation Guide

4-1

Troubleshooting Overview

• 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 fan tray 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.

In a normal router startup sequence, this sequence of events and conditions occur:

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting the Installation

1. The fan in each power module receives power and begins drawing air through the power supply.

The power module input power and output power indicators are on.

2. The fans in the fan tray receive power and begin drawing air through the chassis.

The fan tray OK indicator is on.

3. As the power-on and boot process progresses for the RP, the status of the RP appears on the front

panel of the card.

Identifying Startup Issues

Table 4-1 shows the LED states on the power modules (AC or DC), RP, and the fan tray after a successful

system startup.

• Troubleshooting the DC-Input Power Subsystem, page 4-5

• Troubleshooting the Power Distribution System, page 4-8

Note For the RP card to communicate properly to a power module, input power to at least one of the two power

modules should be present.

Troubleshooting the AC-Input Power Subsystem

AC-input power modules are monitored for internal temperature, voltage, and current load by the RP. If the router detects an extreme condition, it generates an alarm and logs the appropriate warning messages on the console.

Figure 4-1 shows the status indicators for the power module. The indicator definitions are provided after

the figure.

If the AC power module is not operating properly, follow these steps:

Step 1 Make sure the power module is seated properly by ejecting and reseating the power module. Verify that:

• Latch on the ejector lever is locked securely.

• Power switch on the front panel is set to the ON position.

Step 2 Make sure the router is powered on and that all power cords are connected properly. Verify that:

• Power cables are securely attached to their power module terminal studs.

• Power cords at the power source end are securely plugged into their own AC power outlets.

• Source AC circuit breaker is switched on.

Step 3 Check the power supply status LED indicators:

• OK (green) Power LED—Indicates that the input AC power is OK.

• FAIL (amber) LED —Indicates the power supply failure, includes over voltage, over current, over

temperature and fan failure conditions.

If the FAIL LED is blinking, it indicates alarm condition or power supply warning events, while the power supply continues to operate; this includes high temperature, high power, or slow fan conditions. Make sure that each power cord is connected to a dedicated AC power source. Verify that each AC power source is operating in the nominal range of 100 to 240 VAC and is supplying a minimum service of 15 A, North America (or 10 A, international).

Troubleshooting the DC-Input Power Subsystem

DC-input power supplies are monitored for internal temperature, voltage, and current load by the RP. If the router detects an extreme condition, it generates an alarm and logs the appropriate warning messages on the console.

Figure 4-1 shows the status indicators for the power module. The indicator definitions are provided after

the figure.

Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem

Troubleshooting a DC Power Module

If a DC power module if it is not operating properly, follow these steps:

Step 1 Make sure the power module is seated properly by ejecting and reseating the power module. Verify that:

• Latch on the ejector lever is locked securely.

• Power switch on the front panel is set to the ON position.

Step 2 Make sure the router is powered on and that all power cords are connected properly. Verify that:

• Power cables are securely attached to their power module terminal studs.

• Power cables are securely attached at the DC source end.

• Source DC circuit breaker is switched on.

Step 3 Check the power supply status LED indicators:

• OK (green) Power LED—Indicates that the input DC power is OK.

If the OK LED is blinking, DC power input is operating normally, and the source DC input voltage of –40 to –72 VDC is within the nominal operating range.

• FAIL (amber) LED —Indicates the power supply failure, includes over voltage, over current, over

temperature and fan failure conditions.

If the FAIL LED is blinking, it indicates alarm condition or power supply warning events, while the power supply continues to operate; this includes high temperature, high power, or slow fan conditions. Make sure that each power cable is connected to a dedicated DC power source. Verify that each DC power source is operating in the nominal range of –40 to –72 VDC.

Troubleshooting the Power Distribution System

The power distribution system consists of:

• AC or DC power modules that supply +12 VDC to the backplane.

• Chassis backplane that carries voltage to chassis components.

• DC-to-DC converters that convert +12 VDC from the backplane to the correct voltages required by

the line card.

Use this procedure to troubleshoot the power distribution system:

Step 1 Check each power module to make sure that:

• Power module is fully inserted and properly secured by its latch.

• Green LED is on.

4-8

• Amber LED is off.

If the power modules meet the above criteria, then the correct source power is present and within tolerance, and output DC power is present. The power modules are functioning properly.

Step 2 Make sure the fan tray is operating:

• If the fan tray is functioning, then the +12 VDC from the chassis backplane to the fan tray is

functioning properly.

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.

• 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.

Figure 4-2 identifies the slots, ports, and LEDs on the RP card front panel.

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.

Troubleshooting the Route Processor Subsystem

These LEDs on the front panel indicate traffic status and port selection (Figure 4-3):

• LINK—Indicates link activity.

• ACT—Indicates which Ethernet port is selected (ETH 0 or ETH 1).

Note Because both ports are supported on the RP card, MGT LAN 0 is always on. MGT LAN 0 lights

when it is selected.

Figure 4-3 Management LAN Port Activity LEDs

Auxiliary and Console Ports

The auxiliary and console ports on the RP are EIA/TIA-232 (also known as RS-232) asynchronous serial ports connect external devices to monitor and manage the system:

• Auxiliary port—RJ45 interface that supports flow control and is often used to connect a modem, a

channel service unit (CSU), or other optional equipment for Telnet management.

• Console port—Receptacle (female) that provides a RJ45 interface for connecting a console terminal.

Troubleshooting the Line Card

Monitoring Critical, Major, and Minor Alarm Status

Alarms warn of:

• Overtemperature condition on a component in the card

• Fan failure in the fan tray

• Overcurrent condition in a power supply

• Out-of-tolerance voltage on the card

The alarm LEDs are controlled by the CAN microcontoller software, which sets the threshold levels for triggering the different stages of alarms.

The RP card continuously polls the system for temperature, voltage, current, and fan speed values. If a threshold value is exceeded, the RP sets the appropriate alarm severity level on the alarm card, which lights the corresponding LED, and energizes the appropriate alarm display relays to activate any external audible or visual alarms wired to the alarm display. The RP also logs a message about the threshold violation on the system console.

Note If one or more of the alarm LEDs is on, check the system console for messages describing the alarm.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting the Installation

Troubleshooting the Line Card

Initial Boot Process

During a typical line card boot process, these events occur:

1. The line card receives power and begins executing initialization software.

2. The line card performs internal checks, and prepares to accept the Cisco IOS XR software from the

RP.

3. The RP loads the line card with its Cisco IOS XR software.

To verify that the line card is working properly:

Step 1 Check that the LC FAIL LED is ON (green) to verify that the card is operating normally.

Step 2 Check that the RSP FAIL LED for the port of interest is ON (green or blinking) to verify that the port is

active. If the RSP FAIL LED is not ON, verify that the associated interface is not shut down.

Step 3 If one of the conditions above is not met, see Advanced Line Card Troubleshooting, page 4-17 to identify

any possible problems.

Status LEDs

Green Port state is up and a valid physical layer link is established.

Blinking Line activity is occurring. The LED blinks green-amber-green.

Red Port state is up, but there is a link loss or SFP/XFP failure.

Off Port is administratively shut down.

LC FAIL LED

Green Line card has booted properly, and is ready to pass or is passing traffic.

Red Line card has encountered a hardware error, and is not passing traffic.

Off Line card is powered off. The LED might turn off momentarily when switching

between the states described above, although the line card has not powered off.

Configuring and Troubleshooting Line Card Interfaces

Troubleshooting the Line Card

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

Troubleshooting the Line Card

Line Card Interface Address

A Cisco ASR 9001 Router identifies an interface address by its rack number, line card slot number, instance number, and port number, in the format rack/slot/instance/port. The rack parameter is reserved for multirack systems; so, the rack parameter is always 0 (zero) for the Cisco ASR 9001 Router.

The line card slot is numbered 0 with three subslots. The subslots on the line card are numbered 0, 1, and 2. 0 and 1 are reserved for EP ports and 2 is for native ports on the line card. Even if the line card contains only one port, you must use the rack/slot/instance/port notation.

Using Configuration Commands

The command line interface (CLI) for Cisco IOS XR software is divided into different command modes. To configure a line card, you enter the correct mode and then enter the commands you need.

When you first log in, you are automatically in EXEC mode. Next, enter the configure command to access configuration mode. Then, enter the interface command to enter interface configuration mode and specify the interface. You are now in the command mode where you can configure the new interface. Be prepared with the information you will need, such as the interface IP address.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting the Installation

Basic Line Card Configuration

This procedure is for creating a basic configuration—enabling an interface and specifying IP routing. You might also need to enter other configuration subcommands, depending on the requirements for your system configuration.

This example shows one way to configure the basic parameters of a line card:

Step 1 Enter EXEC mode:

Username: username Password: password RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router#

Step 2 Check the status of each port by entering the show interface command:

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show interface

Step 3 Enter global configuration mode and specify that the console terminal will be the source of the

configuration commands:

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure terminal

Step 4 At the prompt, specify the new interface to configure by entering the interface command, followed by

the type (for example, gigabitethernet or tengige) and rack/slot/instance/port (line card rack, slot number, subslot number, port number). Remember that Cisco ASR 9001 Router rack and subslot values are always 0 (zero). For example, to configure port 4 on bay 0 of the line card:

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# interface tengige 0/0/0/3

4-14

You are now in interface configuration mode.

Step 5 Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface with the ipv4 address configuration subcommand,

as in the following example:

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# ipv4 address 10.1.2.3 255.255.255.0

Step 6 Use the no shutdown command to enable the interface:
