LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. SomeLAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 1021WarningThere is the danger of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery only with thesame or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to themanufacturer's instructions. Statement 1015WarningEnvironmental Monitoring Temperature SensorThe Cisco ASR 901S Series Aggregation Services Routers has a temperature sensor to detect over temperatureconditions inside the chassis. The over temperature detection trips at 158°F (70°C). This condition is reportedto the processor as an interrupt, where the software generates the appropriate alarms. If the router reaches atemperature of 181.4°F (83°C), the power supply cycles itself to prevent the router from exceeding themaximum temperature while being powered up.The following table provides the over temperature alert settings.WarningThresholdDescriptionEnabled181.4 to -40°F (83 to -40°C)Board temperatureEnabled181.4 to -40°F (83 to -40°C)Inlet temperatureEnabled181.4 to -40°F (83 to -40°C)CPU temperatureFor environmental specifications, see table 8 in Product Specifications, on page 72.External Connections and Chassis Cable PortsWhen connecting the router internal ports to external cables or exterior devices, the router cables must bethreaded through the chassis cable ports designated for this purpose. Some chassis ports are reserved forspecific cables and remaining ports can be used based on the network configuration and cabling requirements.For details about the interfaces, see Cisco ASR 901S Series Aggregation Services Router: Top and BottomView, on page 5.The cable connectivity can be provided as follows: Cisco ASR 901S Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide10 OL-29732-01 IntroductionEnvironmental Monitoring Temperature SensorREVIEW DRAFT - CISCO CONFIDENTIAL
•The power input is provided on the extreme right through an IP-65 compliant gland for DC. An ordinaryDC cable can be routed through the gland. For AC inputs, a special IP-65 compliant connector systemshould be used. The AC input cable can be removed from the system without opening the door.•Each SFP port is connected with an LC-LC patch cable from the SFP module to the bottom panel. Forthe external connectivity, an LC cable system with IP-65 sealing should be used.•For configurations with two or three SFP ports, one or two copper ports will have an internal patch cablearrangement. For these configurations, an external RJ-45 connection with IP-65 sealing should be used.•For configurations with four SFP ports, the RJ-45 connections for the copper ports with common coppercables (non IP-65 compliant) should be used. These cables can be routed through the four-wire glandshown adjacent to the power entry cable.•The alarm port has a single Cat5e cable routed through the four-wire gland.•The management, Ethernet, and console ports are usually not used in the OSP because the access to therouter is limited (the Wi-Fi interface is used instead). However, when these ports are used, thecorresponding cables should be routed through the four-wire gland.In certain configurations, like 4 SFPs, 2 CUs, and alarm, it is not possible to route theconsole and management ports through the four-wire gland.Note•For the optical ports, multimode patch cables are supplied by default with the router. The single modecables can be ordered separately.Cisco ASR 901S Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide OL-29732-01 11IntroductionExternal Connections and Chassis Cable PortsREVIEW DRAFT - CISCO CONFIDENTIAL

Site PlanningIdeally, you should have prepared the installation site beforehand. As part of your preparation, obtain a planof the site and the equipment rack where the Cisco ASR 901S Series Aggregation Services Router would behoused. Determine the location of any existing routers and their interconnections, including communicationsand power.All personnel involved in the installation of the router including installers, engineers, and supervisors shouldparticipate in the preparation of a Method of Procedure (MOP) for approval by the customer.Site EnvironmentEvery network application is a unique installation. Before installing the Cisco ASR 901S Series AggregationServices Router, you should perform a site survey to determine the optimum use of networking componentsand to maximize range, coverage, and network performance.Consider the following operating and environmental conditions when performing a site survey:•Data rates—Sensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The maximum radio rangeis achieved at the lowest workable data rate. A decrease in receiver sensitivity occurs as the radio dataincreases.•Antenna type and placement—Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radiorange. As a general rule, range increases in proportion to antenna height. However, do not place theantenna higher than necessary, because the extra height also increases potential interference from otherunlicensed radio systems and decreases the wireless coverage from the ground.•Physical environment—Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas.Always follow ESD-prevention procedures described in Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage,on page 15 to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause immediate orintermittent equipment failure.•Obstructions—Physical obstructions such as buildings, trees, or hills can hinder performance of wirelessdevices. Avoid locating the devices in a location where there is an obstruction between the sending andreceiving antennas.Method of ProcedurePart of site preparation includes reviewing installation plans or method of procedures (MOPs). An exampleof a MOP that includes pre-installation checklist of tasks, considerations to address and agree upon beforeproceeding with the installation, is as follows:•Read this hardware installation guide.•Assign personnel.•Determine protection requirements for personnel, equipment, and tools.•Evaluate potential hazards that may affect service.•Schedule time for installation.Cisco ASR 901S Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide OL-29732-01 17Preparing to Install the RouterSite PlanningREVIEW DRAFT - CISCO CONFIDENTIAL
