Environmental Monitoring Temperature Sensor

Environmental Monitoring Temperature Sensor
The Cisco ASR 901 router has a temperature sensor to detect overtemperature conditions inside the chassis. The overtemperature detection trips at 70°C. This condition is reported to the processor as an interrupt, where the software generates the appropriate alarms. If the router reaches a temperature of 85°C, the power supply cycles itself to prevent the router from exceeding the maximum temperature while being powered up.

Safety Guidelines, page 2-1
Prerequisites, page 2-4
Site Planning, page 2-4
Console Port Considerations, page 2-8

Safety Guidelines

Before you begin installing the Cisco ASR 901 router, review the safety guidelines in Safety
Precautions, page 1-5, and the Rack-Mounting Configuration Guidelines, page 3-2 to avoid injuries or
damaging the equipment.
CHAP TER

In addition, before replacing, configuring, or maintaining the Cisco ASR 901 router, review the safety warnings listed in the document
901 Series Aggregation Services Router.

Safety with Equipment

The following guidelines help ensure your safety and protect the equipment. This list does not include all the potentially hazardous situations, so be alert.
Warning
Before connecting the system to the power source, read the installation instructions.
Before moving the system, always disconnect all the power cords and interface cables.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check.
Before and after installation, keep the chassis area clean and dust-free.
Keep tools and assembly components away from walk areas to avoid tripping over them.
Do not work alone in potentially hazardous conditions.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
Do not wear loose clothing that may get caught in the chassis.

Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit.
Statement 1003
This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security.
Statement 1017
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors.
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.
Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on AC units; disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units.

Disconnect all power before performing the following:
Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide
OL-23778-01
Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the Router
Working on or near power supplies.
Installing or removing a router chassis, or network processor module.
Performing most hardware upgrades.
Never install equipment that appears damaged.
Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards, such as wet floors, ungrounded power
extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check.
Never perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
Use caution, and do not become a victim yourself.
Switch off power to the router.
If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, determine the condition of the victim, and then call for help.
Determine whether the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take appropriate action.
In addition, use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is disconnected from a power source, but still connected to telephone wiring or network cabling:
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Safety Guidelines
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for it.
Never touch un-insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line is disconnected at
the network interface.
When installing or modifying telephone lines, use caution.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD can occur when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled, and can cause complete or intermittent failures. When removing and replacing modules, always follow ESD prevention procedures:
Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. To channel unwanted
ESD voltages safely to ground, connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.
