Note
Cisco ASR-920-24SZ-IM Router does not support over-subscription mode. You must disable the ports
as appropriate to restrict the system usage to 64 Gbps. Enabling all the interfaces in over-subscription
mode can result in an unpredictable system performance.

Specifications
The table below describes the other features of Cisco ASR-920-24SZ-IM Router (AC and DC) and Cisco
ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router (AC and DC) Routers.
Table 3: Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router Specifications
• GE SFP ports (copper)—supports 10/100/1000 operation (ASR-920-24TZ-M)
• 10GE SFP+—supports 10G mode.
Network Timing Interfaces
Network timing interface is available only on Cisco ASR-920-24SZ-IM Router.Note
• BITS input or output—The BITS interfaces support clock recovery from either a T1 at 1.544 MHz or
an E1 at 2.048 MHz, configurable by software. BITS interface is provided through a standard RJ-48
connector on the front panel.
• 1PPS input or output and ToD input or output—This shielded RJ-45 interface is used for input or output
of time-of-day (ToD) and 1PPS pulses. ToD format includes both NTP and IEEE 1588-2008 time
formats.
External Interfaces
The same RS422 pins for 1PPS and TOD are shared between input and output directions. The direction for
each can be independently configurable through software.
• GPS 10 Mhz input and output—10 MHz input for GPS Synchronization. This connector on the front
panel can provide 10MHz output as well from Cisco ASR-920-24SZ-IM Router. The direction can be
configured using software.
• GPS 1 PPS input and output—1 PPS input for GPS Synchronization. This connector on the front panel
can provide 1 PPS output as well from Cisco ASR-920-24SZ-IM Router. The direction can be configured
using software.
External Alarm Inputs
The Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router supports four dry contact alarm
inputs through an RJ-45 jack on the front panel.
• Normally Open—indicates that no current flows through the alarm circuit and the alarm is generated
when the current is flowing.
Each alarm input can be provisioned as critical, major, or minor.
Management Interfaces
The Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router have the following management
interfaces:
Power Supply and Fans
The Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router support either AC or DC power
supplies in a 1+1 redundant configuration. The PSUs are hot-swappable. Load is shared between PSUs when
both the PSUs are inserted and powered-up. Status LED provided on both AC and DC PSU indicates the
status and output condition.
260 W (ASR-920-PWR-D)260 W (ASR-920-PWR-A)Input Power
DC PSU can be switched on or off using a switch on the front panel of the DC PSU.Note
For DC PSU, the UVP and OVP limits vary depending on the input voltage applied at power up: For
-48/-60 V: UVP= -36 Vdc and OVP = -72 Vdc For 24 V: UVP =18 Vdc and OVP = 32 Vdc
This product requires surge protection as part of the building installation. To comply with the Telcordia
GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety, an external surge protective device
(SPD) is required at the AC power service equipment.
Note
For DC systems, if a surge of more than 1KV is expected, add an appropriate external surge protective
device.
The Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router have removable fan tray as part
of the system. The fan tray is hot-swappable. The system is designed to operate at its maximum operating
temperature of 70º C and at 65º C in case of failure of a single fan, for a maximum of four hours.
LED Indicators
This section describes the different types of LEDs and their behavior.
PWR and STAT LEDs
The PWR and STAT LEDs are available on the front panel. These LEDs provide power on the board (PWR)
and overall router health (STAT) status. During power up state, these LEDs provide booting status and report
errors.
The digital code signing functionality validates the integrity and authenticity of the ROMMON image
before booting it.
