The Cisco ASR 902 Router and the Cisco ASR 902U Router are collectively referred to as the Cisco ASR
902 Router in this document. Any differences between the routers are specifically called out.
The Cisco ASR 902 Router is a full-featured aggregation platform designed for cost-effective delivery of
converged mobile and business services. With shallow depth, low power consumption, and an extended
temperature range, this compact 2-rack unit (RU) router provides high service scale and flexible hardware
configuration.
The Cisco ASR 902 Router expands the Cisco service provider product portfolio by providing a rich and
scalable feature set of Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) and Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) services in a compact package.
It also supports a variety of software features, including Carrier Ethernet features, Timing over Packet, and
pseudowire.
The Cisco ASR 902 Router is positioned as a preaggregation router in IP Radio Access Network (RAN)
(Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS),
Image Maximum (iMAX), Code division multiple access (CDMA), and Long Term Evolution (LTE))
networks or an aggregation router in Carrier Ethernet networks.

Power Supply Features
The Cisco ASR 902 Router supports AC and DC power supplies. For more information about installing the
Cisco ASR 902 Router power supplies, see the Installing the Power Supply section. The power sections
provide more information about the power supply:
Redundancy
The Cisco ASR 902 Router chassis includes a slot for optional redundant power supply. The redundant power
supply option provides a second power supply to ensure that power to the chassis continues uninterrupted if
one power supply fails or input power on one line fails. Redundancy is supported either with identical power
supplies or a combination of AC and DC power supply. The Cisco ASR 902 Router supports current sharing
between the power supplies.
A redundant power supply on the Cisco ASR 902 Router is recommended. Each power supply should be
connected to separate independent power sources to ensure that the router maintains power in the event of a
power interruption caused by an electrical failure, a wiring fault, or a tripped circuit breaker.
Overview
Caution
Dying Gasp
Note
Status LEDs
To comply with IEC 61850-3 (voltage interruptions), redundant power supplies with separately derived
power feeds are required.
The Cisco ASR 902 Router DC power supply supports the Dying Gasp feature, which allows the router to
provide an input power loss notification to the RSP so that the RSP can send appropriate SNMP traps or OAM
messages and update log files on the router. With the DC power supply, the router supports a minimum input
power loss detection time of 2 milliseconds (DC) and continued operation of at least 6 milliseconds (DC)
after the notification.
Continued DC power supply operation may vary for voltages other than +24/–48V.
Dying Gasp is not supported on the ASR 900 RSP3 module with the 1200 W DC power supply.Note
LEDs are also provided on each power supply to indicate the status of the input power and the health of the
power supply. For more information about the LEDs on the Cisco ASR 902 Router, see Troubleshooting.
DC Power Specifications
The Cisco ASR 902 Router uses a +24/-48 DC voltage power supply (with DC voltage tolerance from -19 to
-72 VDC).

Overview
Power Supply Features
The power supply provides 550W output power for the system. The power supply is field replaceable, hot
swappable, and operates separately from the fan tray. The power supply contains a front panel with mounting
screws, a handle for insertion and removal, and two status LEDs. No ON/OFF switch is provided.

• A900-PWR1200-D—Provides 975 W output power for system 12 V power with the A902-FAN-E
module. As most of the system configurations using A900-RSP3C-200-S RSP modules require power

Fan Tray (A902-FAN-E)
Overview
The Cisco ASR 902 Router uses a modular fan tray that is separate from the power supply. The A902-FAN-E
is a fan tray containing eight (40 x 40 x 20 mm) fans and provides sufficient capacity to maintain operations
indefinitely in the event of an individual fan failure. It has a 8-mm fan dust filter that prevents dust from
entering the unit and avoids possible damage to the components. The fan tray is IEC60950-1 compliant.

The dust filter (as shown in the figure in Fan Tray (A902-FAN-E section) on the fan tray is a quadrafoam
45PPI filter that is 85 percent dust resistant. A dummy cover (A902-FAN-F-B) secures the dust filter in the
chassis. For installing the fan filter, see the Installing the Dust Filter section.
Use the pull tab to easily access the filter.Note
Air plenum or air baffle assembly is used to change the air flow pattern of the unit. When the router is installed
with the plenum, the air flow pattern is changed from side-side to front-back. The front-back air flow pattern
provides a rack installation bay with a cool front zone and a hot rear zone. For information about installing
the plenum, see Installing the Router Chassis in the Air Plenum.
When the air plenum and the fan filter are installed in the chassis, the system’s maximum operating
temperature should be 55 degrees Celsius.
——
RSP Modules
To order an air plenum, contact the Sales and Marketing staff at GAW (www.GawTechnology.net) (see Table
A-2).
The Cisco ASR 902 Router is designed to use a single RSP module to handle the data plane, network timing,
and control plane functionalities for the router. The RSP configuration allows you to use Cisco IOS software
to control chassis management, external management, and system status indications on the router.
