Safety Warnings
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 AC-Powered Systems
Basic guidelines for AC-powered systems include the following:
• Each chassis power supply should have its own dedicated branch circuit.
• The circuit breaker should be sized according to the power supply input rating and local or national code requirements.
• The AC power receptacles used to plug in the chassis must be the grounding type. The grounding conductors that connect to the receptacles should connect to protective earth ground at the service equipment.
Guidelines for DC-Powered Systems
Prevent 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 Series Router, which can have substantial current-draw fluctuations due to bursty data traffic patterns.
Determining power requirements is useful for planning the power distribution system needed to support the router.

Preventing ESD Damage

Warning
This equipment needs to be grounded. Use a green and yellow 6 AWG ground wire to connect the host to earth ground during normal use. Statement 383
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD may 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.

Preventing ESD Damage
Safety Warnings
• 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.
• When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are properly seated.
• When removing a component, use available ejector levers or captive installation screws, if any, to release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.
• Handle components by their handles or edges only; do not touch the printed circuit boards or connectors.
• Place a removed component board side up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding container. If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding container.
• Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
• Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.
Note
For the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic wrist strap. It should be between 1 and 10 Mohm.

• < 15 to 85% RH
Physical Characteristics
To set the device at its proper location, be familiar with its physical characteristics.
Airflow Guidelines
Cool air is circulated through the chassis by fans that are located along the back of the device.
The internal fans maintain acceptable operating temperatures for the internal components by drawing in cool air through the vents and circulating that air through the chassis.
The direction of airflow is from front-to-back.
To ensure adequate airflow through the equipment rack, we recommend that you always maintain a minimum clearance distance as mentioned in the following specifications.
• Front clearance—5 inches (12.7 centimeters)
• Rear clearance—3.93 inches (10 centimeters)
Physical Characteristics
Note the following points:
• When installing chassis in a back-to-back position with another device, ensure a minimum of 3.93 inches (10 centimeters) airflow clearance between them. Also, ensure that the device behind the chassis is not installed in a way that it blows air into the chassis.
• An over-temperature condition may occur within the rack, if airflow through the rack and the device is restricted, or if the air that is drawn into the rack is warm.
• Ensure that the site is dust free. Dust tends to clog the device fans, reducing the flow of cooling air through the equipment rack and the devices that occupy it, thus increasing the risk of an over-temperature condition.
• Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Because each device generates heat, ensure that the racks are not congested. An enclosed rack must have louvered sides and a fan to provide cool air. Heat that is generated by the equipment near the bottom of the rack may be drawn upward into the intake ports of the equipment above.
• When mounting a chassis on an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not block the exhaust fans.
• When a rack-installed equipment fails, especially equipment on an enclosed rack, if possible try operating the equipment by itself. Power off all other equipment on the rack (and in adjacent racks) to give the device maximum cooling air and clean power.
• Avoid installing the chassis in a location in which the chassis air intake vents may draw in the exhaust air from an adjacent equipment. Consider how the air flows through the device; the airflow direction is from front to back, with ambient air drawn in from the vents located on the sides of the chassis.
Caution
When mounting the device on any type of rack equipment, ensure that the temperature of inlet air to the device does not exceed the specified operating temperature limits of the product.

Airflow Guidelines for ETSI Rack Installation
Airflow Guidelines for ETSI Rack Installation
When you install a device on a 2 or 4-post rack, the front and rear doors of the cabinet must be removed. We recommended that you always maintain a minimum clearance distance as mentioned the following.
• Front clearance—5 inches (12.7 centimeters)
• Rear clearance—3.93 inches (10 centimeters)
To mount the chassis in a 4-post enclosed cabinet, ensure a minimum of 3.93 inches (10 centimeters) of clearance on each side of the chassis.
Floor Loading Considerations
Ensure that the floor under the rack supporting the chassis is able to support the combined weight of the rack and all the other installed equipment.
For additional information about floor loading requirements, see the GR-63-CORE, Network Equipment
Building System (NEBS) Requirements: Physical Protection document.
Prepare for Installation

Site Power Guidelines

The chassis 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 power for the chassis:
• The redundant power option provides a second, identical power supply to ensure uninterrupted power supply.
• Connect each power supply to a separate input power source. Otherwise, it results in total power failure to the system due to a fault in the external wiring or a tripped circuit breaker.
• To prevent loss of input power, ensure that the maximum load on each circuit is within the current ratings of the wiring and the breakers.
• Check the power at your site before installation, and periodically after installation, to ensure that you are receiving clean power. If necessary, install a power conditioner.
• Provide proper grounding to avoid personal injury and damage to the equipment due to power surges or lightning striking power lines. The chassis ground must be attached to a central office or other interior ground system.
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 chassis installation must comply with all the applicable codes, and is approved for use with only copper conductors. The ground bond-fastening hardware must be compatible 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 a 6-AWG gauge wire copper ground conductor.
Cisco ASR-920-20SZ-M Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide

Page 25
Prepare for Installation
Electrical Circuit Requirements
Each chassis requires a dedicated electrical circuit. If you equip the device with dual-power feeds, provide a separate circuit for each power supply to avoid compromising the power redundancy feature.
The chassis supports both DC source or an 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% of the rating.

Site Cabling Guidelines

This section contains guidelines for wiring and cabling at your site. When preparing your site for network connections to the chassis, consider the type of cable that is required for each component and cable limitations. Consider the distance limitations for signaling, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and connector compatibility. Possible cable types are fiber, thick or thin coaxial, foil twisted-pair, or unshielded twisted-pair cabling.
Also, consider any additional interface equipment that you need, such as transceivers, hubs, switches, modems, channel service units (CSU), or data service units (DSU).
Before you install the chassis, have on hand all additional external equipment and cables. For information about ordering, contact a Cisco customer service representative.
Electrical Circuit Requirements
The extent of your network and the distances between the network interface connections depend, in part, on the following factors:
• Signal type
• Signal speed
• Transmission medium
The distance and rate limits that are referenced in the following sections are the IEEE-recommended maximum speeds and distances for signaling purposes. Use this information as a guideline when planning your network connections before installing the chassis.
If wires exceed the recommended distances, or if wires pass between buildings, give special consideration to the possibility of a lightning strike in your vicinity. The electromagnetic pulse due to 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.
Asynchronous Terminal Connections
The chassis provides a console port to connect a terminal or computer for local console access. The port has an RJ-45 connector and supports RS-232 asynchronous data with distance recommendations that are specified in the IEEE RS-232 standard.
Interference Considerations
When wires are run for any significant distance, there is a risk of receiving stray signals on the wires as interference. If interference signals are strong, it results in data errors or equipment damage.
The following sections describe the sources of interference and how to minimize their effects on the chassis.
Cisco ASR-920-20SZ-M Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide
19
Page 26
Electromagnetic Interference
Electromagnetic Interference
All the equipment that is powered by AC current can propagate electrical energy that can cause EMI and possibly affect the operation of other equipment. The typical sources of EMI are equipment power cords and power service cables from electric utilities.
Strong EMI can destroy the signal drivers and receivers in the chassis. It can even create an electrical hazard by causing power surges through the power lines into installed equipment. These problems are rare, but could be catastrophic.
To resolve these problems, you need specialized knowledge and equipment that could consume substantial time and money. However, you can 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) may be propagated. Building wiring can often act as an antenna, receiving the RFI signals and creating more EMI on the wiring.
If you use a 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.
Prepare for Installation
Lightning and AC Power Fault Interference
If signal wires exceed the recommended cabling distances, or if signal wires pass between buildings, you may encounter a lightning strike on the chassis.
The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generated by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can couple enough energy into unshielded conductors and damage or destroy electronic equipment. For such problems, you must consult with RFI and EMI experts to ensure adequate electrical surge suppression and shielding of signal cables in your operating environment.

Rack-Mounting Guidelines

The following sections provide guidelines for selecting racks and precautions for mounting the chassis on a rack:
Precautions for Rack-Mounting
Follow these rack-mount guidelines to ensure your safety:
• Ensure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.
• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to the components on the rack.
• Do not step on or stand on any component or system when servicing other systems or components on a rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the chassis.
Rack Selection Guidelines
Ensure the 2 or 4-post, 19 inches (48.3 centimeters) or 23 inches (58.42 centimeters) rack that you select complies with the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard for equipment racks (EIA-310-D). The rack must have at least two posts with mounting flanges to mount the chassis.
Cisco ASR-920-20SZ-M Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide

Page 27
Prepare for Installation

Receive the Device

Caution
When mounting a chassis in any type of rack equipment, ensure that the temperature of the inlet air to the chassis does not exceed the specified operating temperature of the chassis.
The distance between the center lines of the mounting holes on the two mounting posts must be 18.31 inches (46.50 centimeters) ± 0.06 inch (± 0.15 centimeter). The rack-mounting hardware included with the chassis is suitable for most 19 inches (48.3 centimeters) equipment racks.
Install the chassis on a rack with the following features:
• NEBS-compliant, 19 inches (48.3 centimeters) rack or 23 inches (58.42 centimeters).
• EIA or European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) hole patterns in the mounting rails. The required mounting hardware is shipped with the chassis. If the rack on which you plan to install the chassis 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.
Do not install the device on an enclosed rack because the chassis requires an unobstructed flow of cooling air to maintain the acceptable operating temperature. If you use an enclosed rack, ensure that the airflow requirements are maintained as discussed in the Airflow Guidelines section.

Step 2 Connect the front-panel ports.

Connect Gigabit Ethernet Ports

Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports can be connected to other devices using either fiber optic or copper cables. The choice depends on whether the communication distance between your devices is long or short.
If you choose fiber optic cables, connect suitable Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules. The device supports various 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: Cisco
SFP and SFP+ Transceiver Module Installation Notes. Select the port on the device where you insert the SFP
module.
If you choose copper cables, connect to an RJ-45 connector.
The device 10/100/1000 ports configure themselves to operate at the speed of devices to which they are connected. By default, autonegotiation is enabled in the chassis. You can manually set the speed and the duplex parameters. If the device to which the ports are connected does not autonegotiate, low performance or no linkage may result.
To maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the GE ports:
• Have ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex parameters.
• Set speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.
Cisco ASR-920-20SZ-M Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide

Page 48

Connect SFP Modules

Use the mdix auto command in the interface configuration mode to enable an automatic media-dependent interface with crossover detection. After you enable the automatic media-dependent interface, the device detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interface accordingly. Then, use either a crossover or a straight-through cable for connecting to a copper 10/100/1000 port. If the mdix auto command fails to enable the interface, connect the cable through SFP modules.
Connect SFP Modules
Before you begin this task, ensure that you have read and understood the safety warnings in the Safety
Precautions for Module Installation and Removal section of the Safety Warnings handout topic.
Use only Cisco SFP modules on a Cisco device. Each SFP module has an internal serial EEPROM that is encoded with security information. This encoding provides a way for Cisco to identify and validate that the SFP modules meet the requirements of the device.
Install the Router
Caution
We recommend that you wait for 30 seconds between the removal and insertion of an SFP module from the device. The wait period allows the transceiver software to initialize and synchronize with the device. Changing an SFP before this wait period could result in transceiver initialization issues that disable the SFP.
This section provides procedures for installing and connecting SFP modules. Also, it provides the procedure for removing SFP modules.
Install SFP Modules
Caution
We strongly recommend that you do not install (or remove) an SFP module with its cables connected because of the potential damage that may be caused to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the SFP modules. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP module.
Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP modules unless necessary.
The following figure shows an SFP module that has a bale-clasp latch.
Figure 25: SFP Module with Bale-Clasp Latch
Some SFP modules identify the top side of the module with send (TX) and receive (RX) has markings or arrows that show the direction of the connection. If the SFP module that you are using has such markings, use them to identify the top of the module.

Connecting Timing Cables
Warning
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety, connect the ToD 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.
