Cisco NCS 5001 Overview
The Cisco NCS 5001 router is an extension to Cisco's routing platform portfolio enabling Service Providers
and MPLS enabled data center architectures to offer elastic networks with improved business agility and
simplified operations to deliver high-bandwidth mobile, video, and cloud services.
It can also operate as an extension shelf of Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers using
Network Virtualization (nV) technology, consolidating multiple layers in the network and dramatically reducing
operational costs.
The Cisco NCS 5001 router is a small form factor dense GE/10GE aggregation systems. Powered by industry
leading routing operation system, IOS-XR, the system also offers rich functions such as third party application
hosting, machine-to-machine interface, telemetry and flexible package delivery.

• 2x50G: FiftyGigE 0/0/0/0/0, FiftyGigE 0/0/0/0/1
• The above commands fail if the optics inserted do not support breakout.
• The commands succeed if there are no optics inserted, and the breakout is executed whenever optics are
inserted at a later stage.
• For 4x10 breakout, copper and non-copper optics are also supported.
For 4x10 breakout, the supported optics type are : 40G SR4, 40G LR, 40G AOC, 40G PSM, 40G AC
(active copper), and 40G CR4 (passive copper).

• Two hot-swappable power supply (PSUs) that support 1+1 redundancy under most conditions. Only
when the 930W DC supplies (NC5K-PDC-930W-FR and NC5K-PDC-930W-BK) are used, both the
PSUs must be inserted and operational in a non-redundant 2+0 mode.
• Different power supply units (PSUs) are available for different air flow configurations.
• Three hot-swappable fan modules that provide port side intake or port side exhaust cooling in 2+1
redundancy mode.
• A management, console, and the USB interface on fan side of the router.
Power Supply
The Cisco NCS 5064 chassis has slots for two 1+1 redundant power supplies. Power supply options need to
be configured with the base chassis. A minimum of one power supply is required for normal operation.
Caution
When 930W DC power supply (NC5K-PDC-930W-BK or NC5K-PDC-930W-FR) is used, redundancy is not
supported.

System Air flow
Power supplies and fan modules must maintain the same air flow direction. The airflow direction can be
identified based on the PID description and the handle color of both power supplies and fan modules.
Note, however, that the NC5K-PUV-1200W power supply can operate in both (front to back and back to
front) air flow directions. When this power supply is used, the Cisco IOS-XR software automatically configures
the PSU fan direction, based on the system fan modules that are inserted in the chassis. Do not mix power
supplies and fan modules with different air flow directions. Such mixing leads to a system shutdown.
Do not mix power supplies and fan modules with different air flow directions. This will lead to a system
shutdown.
Note
Filters are not mandatory. At any given time, the system may have either a port side intake filter or a port side
exhaust filter, and not both.
