Overview
Online Insertion and Removal
The Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router supports the following OIR operations:
When an SFP is removed, there is no effect on traffic flowing on other ports.
When an SFP is installed, the system initializes that port for operation based upon the current
configuration. If the inserted SFP is incompatible with the current configuration for that port, the port does not become operational until the configuration is updated.
Both power supplies are installed and active and the load may be shared between them or a single PSU
could support the whole load. When a power supply is not working or the input cable is removed, the remaining power supply takes the entire load without disruption.
Except for TDM IM, you can hot-swap an interface module with a similar interface module on Cisco
ASR-920-24SZ-IM Router. For more information, see Hot-Swapping the Interface Module section.
When a fan tray is removed or replaced, there is no need to power down the router. However, when the
fan tray is removed from chassis the router shuts down automatically after some time, depending on the ambient temperature. The time duration before the router shuts down is shown in the table below:

victim, and then call for help.
Determine whether the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take
appropriate action.
When installing or modifying telephone lines, use caution.
Power Supply Considerations
Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving clean power (free of spikes and noise). Install a power conditioner, if necessary.

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.
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.

Preparing for Installation

Site Planning

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.

Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources and do not block cooling vents.
Do not spill food or liquids on your system components and never operate the product in a wet
environment.
Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing so can cause fire or electric
shock by shorting out interior components.
Position system cables and power supply cable carefully. Route system cables and the power supply
cable and plug so that they are not stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing else rests on your system component cables or power cable.
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site
modifications. Always follow your local and national wiring rules.
If you turn off your system, wait at least 30 seconds before turning it on again to avoid damage of system
components.

Caution
If airflow through the equipment rack and the routers that occupy it is blocked or restricted, or if the
ambient air being drawn into the rack is too warm, an overtemperature condition may occur within the rack and the routers that occupy it.
The site should also be as dust-free as possible. Dust tends to clog the router fans, reducing the flow of
cooling air through the equipment rack and the routers that occupy it, thus increasing the risk of an overtemperature condition.
Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not congested because each router
generates heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air. Heat that is generated by the equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports of the equipment above.
When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not block the exhaust fans.
When rack-installed equipment fails, especially equipment in an enclosed rack, try operating the equipment
by itself, if possible. Power off all the other equipment in the rack (and in adjacent racks) to give the router maximum cooling air and clean power.
Avoid installing the Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router in a
location in which the chassis air intake vents may draw in the exhaust air from adjacent equipment. Consider how the air flows through the router; the airflow direction is front to back, with ambient air drawn in from the vents located on the sides of the chassis.
When mounting the router in any type of rack equipment, ensure that the inlet air to the router does not exceed 70° C.

Installing the Router
Caution
Caution
The Cisco ASR-920-24SZ-IM Router does not support hot-swapping or OIR of TDM IM. To activate a TDM IM you must reload the router. Without reloading the router, the IM or associated front panel ports cannot be used. If reload is aborted, the ports 20 to 23 remain disabled and IM remains in Out-of-Service (OOS) state until next reload.
When you remove or insert an interface module while the router is powered on and running, the router does the following:
1
Determines if there is sufficient power for the module.
2
Scans the backplane for configuration changes.
3
Initializes the newly inserted module.
4
Places any previously configured interfaces on the module back to the state they were in when they were removed.
The router runs diagnostic tests on any new interfaces and the test results indicate the following:
If the tests are successful it means the router is operating normally.
If the new module is faulty, the router resumes normal operation, but leaves the new interfaces disabled.
If the diagnostic tests fail, the router stops operating, which usually indicates that the new module has
a problem in the bus and should be removed.
To avoid erroneous failure messages, note the current configuration of all the interfaces before you remove or replace an interface module, and allow at least 2 minutes for the system to reinitialize after a module has been removed or replaced. This time is recommended in order to allow for synchronization between components within the interface module and for synchronization with the RSP.

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.
