Figure 11: Air Flow in the Cisco ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router
Preparing for Installation
To ensure adequate air flow through the equipment rack, it is recommended that you maintain a minimum
clearance distance as mentioned below, at all times.
When installing Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router in a
•
back-to-back position with another device, ensure that there is a minimum of 10 cm air flow clearance
between the two devices.
Also ensure that the device behind the Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M
Routeris not installed in a way that t it blows air into the Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M,
ASR-920-24TZ-M Router.
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.
To install a Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router in a 2-post or 4-post
rack, the front and rear doors of the cabinet must be removed. It is recommended that you maintain a minimum
clearance distance as mentioned below, at all times.
• front clearance—12.7 cm
• rear clearance—10 cm
If you are mounting the chassis in a 4-post enclosed cabinet, ensure that you have a minimum of 10 cm of
clearance on each side of the chassis.
Floor Loading Considerations
Ensure that the floor under the rack supporting the Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M,
ASR-920-24TZ-M Routers is capable of supporting the combined weight of the rack and all the other installed

precautions and recommendations when planning your site power for the Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM,
ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router:
The redundant power option provides a second, identical power supply to ensure that power to the chassis
•
continues uninterrupted if one power supply fails or input power on one line fails.
Connect each of the two power supplies to a separate input power source. If you fail to do this, your
•
system might be susceptible to total power failure due to a fault in the external wiring or a tripped circuit
breaker.
To prevent a loss of input power, be sure that the total maximum load on each circuit supplying the
•
power supplies 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. Install a power conditioner, if necessary.
Provide proper grounding to avoid personal injury and damage to the equipment due to lightning striking
•
power lines or due to power surges. The chassis ground must be attached to a central office or other
interior ground system.

Preparing for Installation
Site Cabling Guidelines
Note
The Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router installation must comply
with all the applicable codes, and is approved for use with copper conductors only. The ground
bond-fastening hardware should be of compatible material 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
at a minimum.
For information on power specifications, see Power Supply Specification table.
Electrical Circuit Requirements
Each Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router requires a dedicated electrical
circuit. If you equip the router with dual-power feeds, provide a separate circuit for each power supply to
avoid compromising the power redundancy feature.
The Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Routers can be powered by a DC source
or an AC source. Ensure that equipment grounding is present and observe the 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 Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router, consider the
type of cable required for each component, and the 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 you need, such as transceivers, hubs, switches, modems,
channel service units (CSU), or data service units (DSU).
Before you install the Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router, have all the
additional external equipment and cables on hand. For information about ordering, contact a Cisco customer
service representative.
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 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 prior to installing the Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router.
If wires exceed the recommended distances, or if wires pass between buildings, give special consideration to
the effect of a lightning strike in your vicinity. The electromagnetic pulse caused by 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.
The Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router 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 specified in the IEEE RS-232 standard.
Interference Considerations
When wires are run for any significant distance, there is a risk that stray signals will be induced on the wires
as interference. If interference signals are strong, they may cause data errors or damage to the equipment.
The sections describe the sources of interference and how to minimize their effects on the Cisco ASR
920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router system.
Electromagnetic Interference
All the equipment 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 utility companies.
Strong EMI can destroy the signal drivers and receivers in the Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M,
ASR-920-24TZ-M Router and 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.
For information about the electrode magnetic compliance standards supported on the Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM,
ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router, see the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for
the Cisco ASR 920 Series Router document.
Preparing for Installation
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 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.
Lightning and AC Power Fault Interference
If signal wires exceed the recommended cabling distances, or if signal wires pass between buildings, you
should consider the effect that a lightning strike in your vicinity might have on the Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM,
ASR-920-24SZ-M, ASR-920-24TZ-M Router.
The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generated by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can couple enough
energy into unshielded conductors to damage or destroy electronic equipment. If you have previously
experienced such problems, you should consult with RFI and EMI experts to ensure that you have adequate
electrical surge suppression and shielding of signal cables in your Cisco ASR 920-24SZ-IM, ASR-920-24SZ-M,
ASR-920-24TZ-M Router operating environment.
Rack-Mounting Guidelines

Hot-Swapping the Interface Module
Note
Before hot-swapping the interface module, read the Activating or Deactivating Interface Module section
in the Cisco ASR 920 Series Aggregation Services Router Configuration Guide.
The Cisco ASR-920-24SZ-IM Router provides a feature that allows you to remove and replace an interface
module without powering down the router. This feature, called hot-swapping or Online Insertion and Removal
(OIR), allows you to remove and replace an interface module without disrupting router operation.
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.
