Chassis Overview

The Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis can be installed in locations where the 16-slot system may not fit (for example, colocation facilities, data centers, and many Tier II and Tier III locations). The routing system consists of a single rack-mount chassis that contains the following major system components:
Up to eight modular services cards (MSCs), forwarding processor (FP) cards, and label switch
processor (LSP) cards, also called line cards (up to eight)
Physical layer interface modules, or PLIMs (up to eight, one for each line card)
Route processor (RP) cards (up to two) or performance route processor (PRP) cards (up to two)
Switch fabric cards (four required)
SPA Interface Processors (SIPs) and Shared Port Adapters (SPAs) which can be installed instead of
PLIMs

Chassis Components

Chapter 1 Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 8-Slot Line Card Chassis Overview
SIP is a carrier card that is similar to a PLIM and inserts into a line card chassis slot and interconnects to an MSC, FP, or LSP like a PLIM. Unlike PLIMs, SIPs provide no network connectivity on their own.
SPA is a modular type of port adapter that inserts into a subslot of a compatible SIP carrier card to provide network connectivity and increased interface port density. A SIP can hold one or more SPAs, depending on the SIP type and the SPA size. POS/SDH and Gigabit Ethernet SPAs are available.
A chassis midplane that connects MSCs, FPs, or LSPs to their PLIMs and to switch fabric cards.
The LCC supports 40G, 140G, and 200G fabric cards, as follows:
The Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System uses fabric cards designed for 40 G operation
(CRS-8-FC/S or CRS-8-FC/M cards).
The Cisco CRS-3 Carrier Routing System uses fabric cards designed for 140G operation
(CRS-8-FC140/S or CRS-8-FC140/M cards).
The Cisco CRS-X Carrier Routing Sytsem uses fabric cards designed for 200G operation
(CRS-8-FC400/S cards in 200G mode).
A mixture of 40G, 140G, and 200G fabric cards is not supported except during migration.
Note Throughout this document, the generic term Cisco CRS Carrier Routing system refers to the Cisco
CRS-1, Cisco CRS-3, and Cisco CRS-X Carrier Routing Systems, unless otherwise specified.
Chassis Components
This section lists the main components of a Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis. It primarily identifies the components that are considered field-replaceable units (FRUs), but where additional detail is useful identifies subassemblies that are not field replaceable.

The Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis contains:
As many as eightMSC, FP or LSP cards (all types are also called line cards), and eightPLIMs. The
line card and PLIM are an associated pair of cards that mate through the chassis midplane. The line card provides the forwarding engine for Layer 3 routing of user data, and the PLIM provides the physical interface and connectors for the user data. The line card can be associated with several different PLIMs, which provide different interface speeds and technologies.
Note For a complete list of line cards, route processors, SPAs and SIPs, and interface modules supported in
the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis, go to the Cisco Carrier Routing System Data Sheets at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5763/products_data_sheets_list.html.

Chassis Components
Chapter 1 Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 8-Slot Line Card Chassis Overview
A chassis midplane that connects line cards to their associated PLIMs. The midplane design allows
a line card to be removed from the chassis without having to disconnect the cables that are attached to the associated PLIM. The midplane distributes power, connects the line cards to the switch fabric cards, and provides control plane interconnections. The midplane is not field replaceable by the customer.
One or two route processor cards (RPs). The RPs provide the intelligence of the system by
functioning as the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis system controller (serving as part of the control plane in multi-chassis systems) and providing route processing. Only one RP is required for system operation. For redundant operation, you can order a second RP as an option (CRS-8-RP/R). When two RPs are used, only one RP is active at a time. The second RP acts as a “standby” RP, serving as a backup if the active RP fails.
The RP also monitors system alarms and controls the system fans. LEDS on the front panel indicate active alarm conditions.
A Performance Route Processor (PRP) is also available for the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis. Two PRPs perform the same functions as two RPs, but provide enhanced performance for both route processing and system controller functionality.
Note A chassis may not be populated with a mix of RP and PRP cards. Both route processor cards
should be of the same type (RP or PRP).
Upper and lower fan trays. The fans pull cool air through the chassis. A removable air filter is located
below the PLIM card cage at the front of the chassis.
Four half-height switch fabric cards (SFCs). These cards provide the three-stage Benes switch fabric
for the routing system. The switch fabric performs the cross-connect function of the routing system, connecting every MSC (and its associated PLIM) with every other MSC (and its associated PLIM) in the system.
The switch fabric receives user data from one line card and PLIM pair and performs the switching necessary to route the data to the appropriate egress line card and PLIM pair. The switch fabric is divided into eight planes that are used to evenly distribute the traffic across the switch fabric. Each switch fabric card implements two planes of the switch fabric.
A power system that provides redundant power to the chassis. Two types of power systems are
available: fixed configuration power and modular configuration power. Both power configurations use either AC or DC power. The fixed configuration power solution contains two power distribution units (PDUs), with either one AC rectifier or one DC power entry modules (PEM) per PDU. The modular configuration power solution contains two power shelves with either up to four DC power modules (PMs) or up to three AC PMs per power shelf.
The PLIM side of the chassis is considered the front of the chassis, where user data cables attach to the PLIMs and cool air enters the chassis. The MSC side, which is where warm air is exhausted, is considered the rear of the chassis.

The MSC slot numbers are reversed from the PLIM slot numbers on the other side of the chassis. Because an MSC mates with its associated PLIM through the midplane, MSC slot 0 is on the far right side of the chassis looking at it from the rear (MSC) side.
PLIM slot 0 is on the far left side of the chassis, looking at if from the front (PLIM) side. MSC slot 0 and PLIM slot 0 mate with each other through the midplane, and so do all other MSC and PLIM slots (0 through 7).
Chassis Cable Management
The Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis has cable management features for the front (PLIM) side of the chassis, just above the card cage. The horizontal cable management trays have a special telescoping feature that allows them to be extended when the chassis is upgraded with higher-density cards. This extension also helps when installing the cables in the chassis.
Note Do not install the front cover on the chassis when the telescoping feature is in use.

Chassis Cooling System

Chassis Cooling System
The chassis has two fan trays, each with four fans, that cool the chassis card cages. Cool air flows in at the bottom front of the chassis and flows through the chassis card cages and through the fans in the fan trays before being exhausted through the bottom rear of the chassis (see Figure 1-9). In addition, each AC or DC power module at the bottom of the chassis has self-contained fans that pull in cool air from the front of the chassis and exhaust warm air out the rear.
A replaceable air filter is located on the front of the chassis below the PLIM card cage. Each fixed configuration power module also has a replaceable air filter that attaches to the module at the front (PLIM) side of the chassis. How often the air filters should be replaced depends on the facility environment. In a dirty environment, or when you start getting frequent temperature alarms, you should always check the intake grills for debris, and then check the air filters to see if they need to be replaced.
Note We recommend that you check the air filters once a month. Replace a filter when you notice a significant
amount of dust.

Chassis Power System
Two types of power systems are available for the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis: fixed configuration power and modular configuration power. Both power systems can be powered by either AC or DC power. The chassis power system takes the facility power and converts it to the DC voltage necessary to power chassis components.
For more information, refer to Chapter 2, “Installing and Removing Power Components.”

Safety Guidelines

Before you perform any procedure in this document, review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the equipment. The following guidelines are for your safety and to protect equipment. The guidelines do not include all hazards. Be alert.
Note Review the safety warnings listed in Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information that are applicable
to your router before installing, configuring, or troubleshooting any installed card.
Keep the work area clear and dust-free during and after installation. Do not allow dirt or debris to
enter into any laser-based components.
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or other items that could get caught in the router while working
with line cards, or their associated components.
Cisco equipment operates safely when used in accordance with its specifications and product-usage
instructions.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. We recommend to use an ESD-preventive strap whenever you handle network equipment or one of its components.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
Connect the equipment end of the connection cord to an ESD connection socket on the router or to a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Handle a card by its ejector levers, when applicable, or the card’s metal carrier only; avoid touching
the board or connector pins.
Place a removed card board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding bag. If you plan
to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding bag.
Avoid contact between the card and clothing. The wrist strap protects the board only from ESD
voltage on the body; ESD voltage on clothing can still cause damage.

Power Systems Overview

There are two options for power systems: the fixed configuration power system and the modular configuration power system. Power components are not interchangeable between the fixed and modular configuration power system.
Fixed configuration power system consists of two power distribution units (PDUs) and either DC
power entry modules (PEMs) or AC rectifiers. The AC version requires 3-phase AC-Delta or AC-Wye input power to the PDU. The PDU distributes facility power to the AC rectifier or DC PEM, which in turn provides processed power to the chassis. A removable air filter is located on the front of each DC PEM and AC rectifier. The fixed configuration power system includes SNMP MIBS and XML support.
CHA P T ER
2
Modular configuration power system consists of two power shelves and either AC or DC power
modules (PMs). However, unlike the fixed configuration power system, the AC version of the modular configuration power system requires single-phase AC input power to power the shelves. If you have 3-phase AC-Delta or AC-Wye at your equipment, a Cisco CRS PDU will be required to convert 3-phase AC input power to single-phase AC input power for the power shelf. At the shelf level, the power system provides 2N redundancy; the PMs themselves provide load-share redundancy. The modular configuration power system also includes SNMP MIBs and XML support.
Note In a fixed configuration AC or DC power system, PDU refers to the power component that connects to
the AC rectifier or DC PEM.
Note In a modular configuration AC power system, PDU refers to the Cisco CRS PDU that converts 3-phase
AC-Wye or AC-Delta input power to single-phase AC input power for the modular configuration AC power shelf. For further information, refer to Cisco CRS 3-Phase AC Power Distribution Unit Installation Guide.

Basic Chassis Power Details

The Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis can be configured with either a DC-input power subsystem or an AC-input power subsystem. The chassis power system provides the necessary power for chassis components. Site power requirements differ, depending on the source voltage used.
A fixed configuration AC PDU connects to an AC rectifier, while a fixed configuration DC PDU connects to a DC PEM. A modular configuration AC power shelf houses up to 3 AC PMs, while a modular configuration DC power shelf houses up to 4 DC PMs. It is required that you use only one type of power shelf in a chassis at a time.
Note In a modular configuration power system, both AC and DC power supplies are referred to as power
modules (PMs).
Warning
This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to de-energize the unit.

Chapter 2 Installing and Removing Power Components
Fixed Configuration Power System
Three types of PDUs exist for fixed configuration power system:
AC Wye PDU
AC Delta PDU
DC PDU
The AC PDU connects to the AC rectifier, while the DC PDU connects to the DC PEM. Although there are differences among the different PDU types (AC Wye, AC Delta, and DC), they are installed in the same manner. For detailed information, see the “How to Install or Remove Fixed Configuration Power
Components” section on page 2-13.
Note The fixed configuration PDUs arrive preassembled in the chassis. AC power cords arrive preattached but
the DC power cables need to be installed.
Caution Use only one type of fixed configuration PDU—AC Wye, AC Delta, or DC—and its mating AC rectifier
or DC PEM in a chassis at one time.
Power Component Information Common to Two Types of Power System
Modular Configuration Power System
The modular configuration AC power shelves connect to AC PMs, while the modular configuration DC power shelves connect to DC PMs. Although there are differences between the two different power shelf types (AC and DC), they are installed in the same manner. Similarly, the modular configuration AC and DC PMs are installed in the same manner. For detailed information, see the “How to Install or Remove
Modular Configuration Power Components” section on page 2-25.
Caution Use only one type of modular configuration power shelf—AC or DC—and its mating AC or DC PMs in
a chassis at one time.
Precautions and Recommendations
Follow these precautions and recommendations when planning power connections to the router:
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.
Properly ground your system to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.
Note For the fixed configuration power system, although PDUs may be installed or removed without powering
down the system, for safety purposes we recommend that you power down the system before you install or remove a PDU.
OL-6256-17
For the modular configuration power system, although power shelves may be installed or removed without powering down the system, for safety purposes we recommend that you power down the system before you install or remove a power shelf.

Power Component Information Common to Two Types of Power System

Bonding and Grounding Guidelines

The router chassis has safety earth ground connections in conjunction with the power cabling to the fixed configuration PDUs. Modular configuration power supports chassis grounding only. The chassis allows you to connect the central office ground system or interior equipment ground system to the bonding and grounding receptacles on the router chassis, when either a fixed or modular configuration power system is installed. Six chassis grounding points are provided at the rear (MSC) side of the chassis, as shown in
Figure 2-1. Each side of the chassis has one pair of threaded ground studs located on the inside of the
chassis and two sets of grounding receptacles located on the outside of the chassis. These ground points are also called the network equipment building system (NEBS) bonding and grounding points.
Note These bonding and grounding receptacles satisfy the Telcordia NEBS requirements for bonding and
grounding connections.

How to Install the Chassis Ground Cable

This section describes how to install the ground cable on the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis.
Prerequisites
To connect the routing system to a network equipment building system (NEBS)-compliant bonding and grounding system at the site, you must have the following:
Minimum of one grounding lug that has two M6 bolt holes with 0.63-inch (5/8 inch) (1.6 cm) of
spacing between them, center to center, and a 6-AWG multistrand copper cable. The lug is similar to the type used for the DC-input power supply leads, as shown in Figure 2-4.
Four M6 or equivalent hex-head nuts with integrated locking washers are shipped pre-installed on
the inside of the chassis.
Eight M6 or equivalent hex-head bolts with integrated locking washers are shipped pre-installed on
the outside of the chassis.
Ground cable routed upwards or downwards, per customer installation requirements. Although we
recommend at least 6-AWG multistrand copper cable, the actual cable diameter and length depend on your router location and site environment. This cable is not available from Cisco Systems; it is available from any commercial cable vendor. The ground cable should be sized according to local and national installation requirements.
Power Component Information Common to Two Types of Power System
Caution The DC Return of the Cisco CRS 8-slot chassis should remain isolated from the system frame and
chassis (DC-I: Isolated DC Return).
Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools to perform this task:
One ground lug for equipment-side ground connection. In a rack application, the rack-side of the
ground cable will also require a lug.
Ground cable
Crimping tool and lug specific die
10-mm 6 pt. combination wrench
Torque wrench with 10-mm 6 pt. socket and rated accuracy at 30 in.-lb (3.39 N-m)
Steps
To attach the ground cable to the chassis, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Use the crimping tool mandated by the lug manufacturer to crimp the lug to the ground cable.
Step 2 Using the 10-mm wrench, attach the ground cable to one of the grounding points at the rear of the
chassis. Then use the torque wrench to tighten to a torque of 30 in.-lb (3.39 N-m). Figure 2-2 shows how the ground cable is attached to the ground points on the outside of the chassis.

DC Power Systems

Each DC powered chassis contains two fixed configuration PDUs or two modular configuration power shelves for 2N redundancy.
In the fixed configuration power system, each PDU accepts one DC PEM for 2N redundancy. The
PDUs and PEMs are field replaceable. The PDUs contain the input power connectors.
In the modular configuration power system, each power shelf accepts up to four DC PMs. The power
shelves and DC PMs are field replaceable. The power shelves contain the input power connectors.
Note Depending on the hardware deployed at your site, your system may not consume the maximum
power supplied by the power system.
Fixed Configuration DC Power
The Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis DC power system provides 7,500 watts to power the chassis. Each DC PDU is connected to three pairs of DC power feeds and powers a single DC PEM. Input DC power enters the PDU and is passed to the PEM, which provides power to the components in the chassis.
Each DC PEM has its own circuit breaker.
The fixed configuration power system distributes power in power zones.

Unlike the Cisco CRS 16-slot line card chassis, the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis does not contain an alarm module. A microprocessor in the DC PEM monitors the status of each DC PEM. The microprocessor communicates with the system controller on the route processor (RP) card. LEDs on the front panel of the RP card indicate active alarm conditions.
The DC PDU is shipped with a plastic safety cover over the input terminal block, as shown in Figure 2-3. This safety cover has two parts, each part held on to the PDU with a Phillips screw. We recommend removing the safety cover only when wiring and unwiring the chassis. The safety cover is slotted in such a way that the cables can only come out on the bottom portion of the cover.
Figure 2-3 Fixed Configuration DC PDU with Plastic Safety Cover
Power Component Information Common to Two Types of Power System
1 Each set of cables (RTN and –48 V/–60 V) is a single VDC input.
Each PDU requires three DC inputs of –48/–60 VDC (nominal), 60 A service. The PDU has three sets of double-stud terminals (-48/-60 VDC Lines and -48/-60 VDC Returns) for connecting to the VDC inputs.
Each DC PDU should be connected to a different central office DC power source:
One PDU should be connected to three –48/–60 VDC “A” buses.
Other PDU should be connected to three –48/–60 VDC “B” buses.
If DC power to a PDU fails, the other PDU provides enough power for the chassis. This 2N power redundancy enables the routing system to operate in spite of single power failure.
For DC power cables, we recommend that you use commensurately rated, high-strand-count copper cable. These cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from any commercial vendor. DC power cables must be terminated by cable lugs at the power shelf end.
Note All six -48/-60 VDC Return input cables for one chassis should have the same cable gauges and the
lengths should be matched within 10 percent of deviation.
The grounding lugs should be dual-hole and able to fit over M6 terminal studs at 0.63 in (1.6 cm) centers, as shown in Figure 2-4 (for example, Panduit part number LCD2-14A-Q, or equivalent).

Chapter 2 Installing and Removing Power Components
The color coding of the source DC power cable leads depends on the color coding of the site DC power source. Typically, green or green and yellow indicates that the cable is a ground cable. Follow your local practices for cable color code and markings. You must ensure that the power cables are connected to the DC-input power shelf terminal studs in the proper positive (+) and negative (–) polarity.
In some cases, the source DC cable leads might have a positive (+) or negative (–) label, but you must verify the polarity by measuring the voltage between the DC cable leads. When making the measurement, the positive (+) lead and negative (–) lead must always match the (+) and (–) labels on the PDU.
Caution When installing DC power cables, make sure that the polarity of the DC input wiring is correct.

Description.
Modular Configuration DC Power
The Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis modular configuration DC power system can provide up to 8,400 W to power the line card chassis. The modular configuration DC power system uses A or B power shelves to provide reliable, 2N redundant power to all chassis components.
Power Component Information Common to Two Types of Power System
Note Depending on the hardware deployed at your site, your system may not consume the maximum power
supplied by the power system.
The Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis does not contain an alarm module. The DC PM monitors PM status and processes alarm functions. The PM distributes power and passes PM status signals to the system. Alarms are processed through the route processor (RP). LEDs on the front panel of the RP card indicate active alarm conditions.
If DC power to one modular configuration power shelf fails, the other power shelf provides enough power for the chassis. This 2N power redundancy enables the routing system to operate in spite of single power failure.
Each power shelf operates with up to four DC inputs of –48/–60 VDC (nominal), 60 A. The power shelf accepts input DC power in the range –40 to –72 VDC.

AC Power Systems

Each AC powered chassis contains two fixed configuration AC PDUs or two modular configuration AC power shelves for 2N redundancy.
In the fixed configuration power system, each PDU accepts one AC power rectifier. The PDUs and
AC power rectifiers are field replaceable.
In the modular configuration power system, each power shelf can contain up to three AC PMs. The
power shelves and the AC PMs are field replaceable.
Note Depending on the hardware deployed at your site, your system may not consume the maximum power
supplied by the power system.
OL-6256-17
Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 8-Slot Line Card Chassis Installation Guide

Power Component Information Common to Two Types of Power System
Fixed Configuration AC Power
An AC-powered Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis contains two AC power distribution units (PDUs) and two AC rectifier modules. Each AC PDU is connected to a 3-phase (200 to 240) input VAC power source and connects to a single 7500-watt AC rectifier module that is field replaceable. Each AC rectifier module converts input AC power to the 54.5 VDC used by the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis. Each rectifier has its own circuit breaker.
To provide 2N power redundancy for the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis, each PDU and AC rectifier pair is connected to a different AC power source. During normal operation when both power sources are operational, both PDUs and rectifiers function together to power the chassis. However, if a power source fails, the other power source provides the other PDU and rectifier pair with enough input power to power the chassis. This 2N power redundancy enables the routing system to operate despite the power failure.
Two versions of the AC PDU are available to accommodate AC input power in either the Delta or Wye configuration. Each PDU has a different Cisco part number. The PDUs are shipped with AC power cords that are 14 feet (4.3 m) long.
Unlike the Cisco CRS 16-slot line card chassis, the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis does not contain an alarm module. A microprocessor in the AC rectifier monitors the status of each AC rectifier. The microprocessor communicates with the system controller on the RP card. LEDs on the front panel of the RP card indicate active alarm conditions.
Chapter 2 Installing and Removing Power Components
The AC PDUs have the following input VAC power requirements:
AC Wye input: 3-phase, 200 to 240 VAC nominal (phase-to-neutral), 50 to 60 Hz,
16 A (International) or 20 A (North America). The PDU is rated for 14-amp service, and accepts AC input of 16 or 20 A.
The Wye power cord has a 5-pin IEC 60309 plug that is rated for 400 VAC, 16 or 20 A, (3W + N + PE). The power cord plugs into a similarly rated IEC 60309 receptacle.
AC Delta input: 3-phase, 200 to 240 VAC nominal (phase-to-phase), 50 to 60 Hz, 30 A. The PDU is
rated for 24-amp service, and accepts AC input of 30 A.
The Delta power cord has a 4-pin NEMA L15-30P plug that is rated for 250 VAC, 30 A (3W + PE). The power cord plugs into a similarly rated NEMA L15-30R locking-type receptacle.
For additional power details, see Appendix A, “Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 8-Slot Line Card
Chassis Specifications” or Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 8-Slot Line Card Chassis System
Description.
Modular Configuration AC Power
The Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis modular configuration AC power system can provide up to 9,000 W to power the line card chassis.
Note Depending on the hardware deployed at your site, your system may not consume the maximum power
supplied by the power system.
2-12
The modular configuration power system provides the following features:
AC power shelf redundancy
PM load-share redundancy
Elimination of power zone distribution, while maintaining zone protection
Capacity for future growth
Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 8-Slot Line Card Chassis Installation Guide
OL-6256-17
Chapter 2 Installing and Removing Power Components
The modular configuration AC power systems use A or B power shelves to provide reliable, 2N redundant power to all chassis components.
The Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis does not contain an alarm module. The AC PM monitors PM status and processes alarm functions. The AC PM distributes power and passes PM status signals to the system. Each PM has its own integrated fuse to protect the system, and each PM is plugged into its own power outlet. Alarms are processed through the RP. LEDs on the front panel of the RP indicate active alarm conditions.
Unlike the fixed configuration AC power system, which requires 3-phase AC Delta or AC Wye input power, the modular configuration AC power system requires single-phase AC input power. If you have 3-phase AC Delta or AC Wye at your equipment, a Cisco CRS PDU will be required to convert 3-phase AC input power to single-phase AC input power for the power shelf. For further information, refer to Cisco CRS 3-Phase AC Power Distribution Unit Installation Guide.
The modular configuration AC power shelf has the following input VAC power requirements:
Single-phase, 200 to 240 VAC nominal, 50 to 60 Hz, 16 A.
Each power shelf contains three IEC-320-C22 receptacles which can accept up to three IEC-320-C21 connector female cords.

How to Install or Remove Fixed Configuration Power Components

Note In order to maintain a balanced 3-phase power load, three AC PMs are required to be installed in a Cisco
CRS 8-slot line card chassis AC modular configuration power shelf.
Note If single-phase AC power is available at your site, we recommend that you use appropriate short-circuit
protection in compliance with national and local electrical codes.

How to Install or Remove Fixed Configuration Power Components
Note Although there are differences among the different fixed configuration PDU types (AC Wye, AC Delta,
and DC), they are installed in the same manner.
Note Although there are differences between the AC rectifier and DC PEM (AC Wye, AC Delta, and DC), they
are installed in the same manner.

Before Powering the Chassis Up or Down

While the line card chassis does not have a single power switch that powers the entire chassis and all its components up and down, the AC rectifier or DC PEM linkage cuts power to the chassis as a whole when both power components are turned off. Most components on the chassis, such as the power modules, MSCs, PLIMs, and fan trays can be removed or installed in the chassis while it is running.
Before you can power the chassis up, perform the following steps:
Chapter 2 Installing and Removing Power Components
Step 1 Install and wire the PDUs (see the “Installing a PDU” section on page 2-15).
Step 2 Install the DC PEMs or AC rectifiers (see the “Installing a DC PEM or AC Rectifier” section on
page 2-22).
Step 3 Install the RP card (see the “Installing an RP, PRP, or DRP Card” section on page 4-38).
Step 4 Activate your power source.
Step 5 Turn the PEM switches to the on position.
To power down the chassis entirely, you must power down each of the two DC PEMs or AC rectifiers; you move each power switch to the off position by pulling it toward you. Both DC PEMs or AC rectifiers must be disconnected or the PDUs unplugged to de-energize the chassis completely.
Note After powering off the AC rectifier, wait a minimum of 20 seconds before powering it on again.
Note All power cords must be unplugged from wall power to fully remove power from the chassis.

Converting from One Fixed Configuration Power System to Another

use both hands when handling a DC PEM or AC rectifier.
Step 5 Use your free hand to support the DC PEM or AC rectifier while you slide the module completely from
the bay, then set the module safely aside.
What to Do Next
After performing this task, you may install a new DC PEM or AC rectifier, if needed (see the “Installing
a DC PEM or AC Rectifier” section on page 2-22), and replace any front cosmetic covers.
How to Install or Remove Modular Configuration Power Components
This section describes how to install and remove modular configuration power components in the Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 8-Slot line card chassis.
Before you install the modular configuration power components, you must install the modular configuration power shelf into the chassis. After installing the power shelf, you can install the AC or DC PMs into the power shelf.
Note Although there are differences between the different types of modular configuration power shelves and
PMs (AC and DC), they are installed and removed using the same procedures.
If you are replacing a fixed configuration power supply with a modular configuration power supply, you must change the entire power shelf before you can install the power components. For more information, refer to the “Converting a Chassis from Fixed Configuration Power to Modular Configuration Power”
section on page 2-54.

Installing and Removing Air Circulation Components
This chapter provides instructions on how to install and replace the Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 8-Slot Line Card Chassis air circulation components.
This chapter presents the following topics:
About Line Card Chassis Airflow, page 3-1
How to Install or Remove Air Circulation Components, page 3-2

About Line Card Chassis Airflow

The Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis has two fan trays, each with four fans, that cool the chassis card cages.
CHA P T ER
3
The top fan pulls air into the lower portion of the front of the chassis, up across the cards in the front of the chassis, and through the upper fan tray. Air flows out of the upper fan tray and down across all the modular service cards and switch fabric cards through the lower fan tray; air is then exhausted out the bottom of the rear of the chassis (see Figure 3-1).
In addition, each AC or DC power module at the bottom of the chassis has self-contained fans that pull in cool air from the front of the chassis and exhaust the warm air out the rear of the chassis.
A replaceable air filter is located on the front of the chassis below the PLIM card cage. Each power module also has a replaceable air filter that attaches to the module at the front (PLIM) side of the chassis. How often the air filters should be replaced depends on the facility environment. In a dirty environment, or when you start getting frequent temperature alarms, you should always check the intake grills for debris, and then check the air filters to see if they need to be replaced.
Note We recommend that you check the air filters once a month. Replace a filter when you notice a significant
amount of dust.
