Guidelines for DC-Powered Systems

Basic guidelines for DC-powered systems include the following:

Each chassis power supply should have its own dedicated input power source. The source must comply

•

with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) requirements in the UL 60950, CSA 60950, EN 60950, and IEC 60950 standards.

The circuit must be protected by a dedicated two-pole circuit breaker. The circuit breaker should be

•

sized according to the power supply input rating and local or national code requirements.

The circuit breaker is considered the disconnect device and should be easily accessible.

•

The system ground is the power supply and chassis ground.

•

Do not connect the DC return wire to the system frame or to the system-grounding equipment.

•

Use the grounding lug to attach a wrist strap for ESD protection during servicing.

•

Guidelines for DC-Powered Systems

Preventing Power Loss

Use the following guidelines to prevent power loss to the router:

To prevent loss of input power, ensure that the total maximum load on each circuit supplying the power

•

supplies is within the current ratings of the wiring and breakers.

In some systems, you can use an UPS to protect against power failures at your site. Avoid UPS types

•

that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable with systems such as the Cisco ASR-920-10SZ-PD Router, which can have substantial current-draw fluctuations due to bursty data traffic patterns.

Use the information in the Table 1 to estimate the power requirements and heat dissipation of a Cisco ASR-920-10SZ-PD Router based on a given configuration of the router. Determining power requirements is useful for planning the power distribution system needed to support the router.

Connecting a Management Ethernet Cable

Installing the Cisco ASR-920-10SZ-PD Router

Note

It is recommended that you retain the RJ-45 dust caps for the ports (RJ-45, SFP, and USB ports) that are not used.

When using the Ethernet Management port in the default mode (speed-auto and duplex-auto) the port operates in the auto-MDI/MDI-X mode. The port automatically provides the correct signal connectivity through the Auto-MDI/MDI-X feature. The port automatically senses a crossover or straight-through cable and adapts to it.

However, when the Ethernet Management port is configured to a fixed speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) through command-line interface (CLI) commands, the port is forced to the MDI mode.

When in a fixed-speed configuration and MDI mode:

Use a crossover cable to connect to an MDI port

•

Use a straight-through cable to connect to an MDI-X port

•

To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety, connect the Management Ethernet ports only to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cable. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

Installing and Removing SFP and SFP+ Modules

The Cisco ASR-920-10SZ-PD Router supports a variety of SFP and SFP+ modules, including optical and Ethernet modules. For information on how to install and remove SFP and SFP+ modules, see the documentation for the SFP or SFP+ module at:

Connecting a USB Flash Device

Caution

We recommend that you wait for 30 seconds between the removal and insertion of an SFP on an interface module. We recommend this to allow the transceiver software to initialize and synchronize with the Cisco ASR-920-10SZ-PD Router. Changing an SFP more quickly could result in transceiver initialization issues that disable the SFP.

Connecting a USB Flash Device

To connect a USB flash device to the Cisco ASR-920-10SZ-PD Router, remove the dust cap and insert the memory stick in the USB port labeled USB MEM.

Retain the dust caps for later use.Note

The Flash memory module can be inserted only one way, and can be inserted or removed regardless of whether the router is powered up or not.

Figure below shows the USB port connector on the Cisco ASR-920-10SZ-PD Router.

Note

If you are permanently removing the USB Flash device, reinstall the dust cap in the USB port.

Connecting Ethernet Cables

Note

To achieve good performance, it is recommended to use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cat 5E/Cat 6 cables for all RJ-45 ports on the router.

The Cisco ASR-920-10SZ-PD Router interface modules support RJ-45 and Ethernet SFP ports. For instructions on how to connect cables to Ethernet SFP ports, see the Connecting Cables to SFP Modules.

The RJ-45 port supports standard straight-through and crossover Category 5E unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables. Cisco does not supply Category 5E UTP cables; these cables are available commercially.

To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety, connect the Gigabit Ethernet ports only to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cable. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

Follow these steps to connect a cable to a copper Gigabit Ethernet port:

SUMMARY STEPS

Connect one end of the cable to the Gigabit Ethernet port on the router.

Connect the other end to the BTS patch or demarcation panel at your site.
