comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers
Laser Safety
Single-mode Cisco ASR 9000 Series line cards are equipped with lasers. The lasers emit invisible
radiation. Do not stare into open line card ports. Observe the following warning to prevent eye injury:
Warning
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is
connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures.
Statement 70
Energy Hazard
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers can be configured for a DC power source. Do not touch terminals
while they are live. Observe the following warning to prevent injury.
Warning
Hazardous voltage or energy may be present on power terminals. Always replace cover when
terminals are not in service. Be sure uninsulated conductors are not accessible when cover is in
place.
Statement 1086
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Many router components can be damaged by static electricity. Not exercising the proper electrostatic
discharge (ESD) precautions can result in intermittent or complete component failures. To minimize the
potential for ESD damage, always use an ESD-preventive antistatic wrist strap (or ankle strap) and
ensure that it makes good skin contact.
Note Check the resistance value of the ESD-preventive strap periodically. The measurement should be
between 1 and 10 megohms.

Lifting Guidelines
Fully configured Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers can weigh as much as 1038 pounds (470.28 kg), and
an empty chassis weighs up to 300 pounds (136 kg). These systems are not intended to be moved
frequently. Before you install the router, ensure that your site is properly prepared to prevent moving the
router later to accommodate power sources and network connections.
Use the following lifting guidelines to avoid injury to yourself or damage to the equipment:
Do not lift equipment alone; have another person help you to lift heavy equipment.
Ensure that your footing is solid; balance the weight of the object between your feet.
Lift the equipment slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.
Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. When bending down to lift
equipment, bend at the knees (not at the waist), to reduce the strain on your lower back muscles.
Warning
To prevent injury and equipment damage, never attempt to lift or tilt the router chassis using the
handles on the fan tray or on line cards. These handles do not support the weight of the chassis.

sure that:
Weight of the router does not make the frame unstable.
Frame is bolted to the floor and is secured to the building structure using either wall brackets or
overhead brackets.
When mounting the router in a telco-style rack or 4-post rack, be sure to use all of the screws
provided to secure the chassis to the rack posts.
Install the cable-management brackets included with the router to keep cables organized. Be sure to:
Use appropriate strain-relief methods to protect cables and equipment connections.
Make sure that cables from other equipment installed in the rack do not restrict access to the
card cages.
To avoid noise interference in network interface cables, do not route them directly across or along
power cables.

Site Wiring Guidelines
When planning the location of the router, consider distance limitations for signaling, electromagnetic
interference (EMI), and connector compatibility. If the wiring is run for any significant distance in an
electromagnetic field, interference can occur between the field and the signals on the wires. Poor wiring
can cause:
Radio interference emanating from the wires.
Strong EMI, especially when caused by lightning or radio transmitters. EMI can destroy the signal
drivers and receivers in the router, and can even create an electrical hazard by conducting power
surges through lines and into equipment.
Note To predict and remedy strong EMI, you may need to consult with experts in radio frequency
interference (RFI).
Site wiring is unlikely to emit radio interference if you use twisted-pair cable with a good distribution
of grounding conductors. Use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data
signal, when applicable.
Give special consideration to the effect of a lightning strike in your vicinity, especially if the wiring
exceeds the recommended distances, or if it passes between buildings. The electromagnetic pulse (EMP)
caused by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can easily induce enough energy into unshielded
conductors to destroy electronic devices. If you have experienced EMP problems in the past, you may
want to consult experts in electrical surge suppression and shielding.
Most data centers cannot resolve infrequent but potentially catastrophic problems without pulse meters
and other special equipment. In addition, these problems can take a great deal of time to identify and
resolve. We recommend that you take the necessary precautions to avoid these problems by providing a
properly grounded and shielded environment, with special attention to issues of electrical surge
suppression.
Chassis Air Flow Guidelines
Table 1-1 describes how cool air is circulated through the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.
Table 1-1 Chassis Air Flow Guidelines
Router Type Chassis Air Flow
Cisco ASR 9010 Air is circulated by two fan trays located underneath the Route Switch Processor
(RSP) and line cards as shown in Figure 1-12.
Cisco ASR 9006 Air is circulated by two fan trays located along the top left side above the RSP
and line cards as shown in Figure 1-13.
Cisco ASR 9904 Air is circulated side-to-side by a single fan tray located along the left side of
the chassis as shown in Figure 1-14.
If the router is installed in a 2-post 23-inch rack, air flow is circulated
front-to-back. Optionally, you can install air baffles on the chassis to help
isolate the exhaust air from the intake air. For more information, see Installing
Optional Air Baffles on the Cisco ASR 9904 Router, page 2-82.
1-16
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation
Site Requirement Guidelines
The fan trays maintain acceptable operating temperatures for the internal components by drawing in cool
air through the air filter, and circulating the air through the card cage. Each power supply is also
equipped with fans that draw cooler air into the front of the power supply and force warmer air out of
the back of the chassis. For information about the types of fan trays used in the chassis, see Power
Module Fans, page 4-34.
Note See Rack-Mounting and Air Flow Clearance Guidelines, page 1-20 for details on air-flow clearance
requirements for installation in an enclosed 4-post rack.
Figure 1-12 Air Flow Path through the Cisco ASR 9010 Router—Side View
Cisco ASR 9922 Air circulated by four fan trays as shown in Figure 1-15. Two fan trays are
located between the line cards in the top cage and the RP and Switch Fabric
Cards (FCs) in the middle cage. Another two fan trays are located between the
middle cage and the line cards in the bottom cage.

When selecting a site to install the router, observe the following guidelines:
Dust-free area—The site should be as dust-free as possible. Dusty environments can clog the air
filter or power supply intake vents, reducing the cooling air flow through the router. Clogged filters
and vents can cause an overtemperature condition in the router.
Unrestricted air-flow—Allow sufficient air-flow by maintaining a minimum of 6 in (15.24 cm) of
clearance at both the inlet and exhaust openings on the chassis and the power modules. If the air flow
is blocked or restricted, or if the inlet air is too warm, an overtemperature condition can occur within
the router. Under extreme conditions, the environmental monitoring system powers off the router to
protect the components.

Telco 2-Post Rack
Item a in Figure 1-17 shows a telco-style rack. The telco-style rack is an open frame consisting of two
posts tied together by a cross-bar at the top and a floor stand at the bottom.
This type of rack is usually secured to the floor and sometimes to an overhead structure or wall for
additional stability. The router chassis can be installed in the telco-style rack only in a front-mounted
position.
In the front-mounted position, you secure the chassis rack-mounting brackets directly to the rack posts
(see Figure 1-18 for the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Figure 1-19 for the Cisco ASR 9006 Router, and
Figure 1-20 for the Cisco ASR 9904 Router). Two rear mounting brackets are provided for mounting the
Cisco ASR 9010 Router in a 2-post rack.
Note The mounting brackets on the Cisco ASR 9006 Router chassis have a pair of holes at the top and bottom
of each bracket; the remaining openings in the brackets are slots. When mounting the router in a 2-post
rack, you must first use the holes to locate and position the brackets on the rack. Insert the screws through
the bracket holes into the rack before inserting screws through the bracket slots.

Site Requirement Guidelines
Temperature and Humidity Guidelines
The operating and nonoperating environmental site requirements are listed in Table A-2. The router
normally operates within the ranges listed in the table; however, if a temperature measurement is
approaching a minimum or maximum parameter, it indicates a potential problem. Maintain normal
operation by anticipating and correcting environmental anomalies before they approach critical values
by properly planning and preparing your site before you install the router.
Power Connection Guidelines
You can configure the router with either an AC input or DC input power subsystem, so the site power
source requirements differ depending on the power subsystem in your router. Ensure all power
connection wiring conforms to the rules and regulations in the National Electrical Code (NEC) as well
as local codes.
Caution Each Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router is powered by only one type of input: AC or DC. A hybrid (AC+DC)
power configuration is not supported.
Caution Proper grounding is necessary to avoid damage from lightning and power surges. See NEBS
Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines, page 1-52 for grounding requirements.

AC-Powered Routers
AC power modules operate in the input range of 180 VAC to 264 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz (nominal input level
of 200 to 240 VAC). Refer to Table 1-3 and Table 1-4 for the minimum required AC service for version
1 and version 2 power modules.
Power redundancy requirements vary based on the system configuration (number and type of line cards,
etc.). AC-powered systems are 2N protected. A minimum of two power supplies are required for
redundant operation. Refer to the Cisco ASR 9000 Power Calculator at the following URL to determine
actual redundancy requirements for any given configuration: http://tools.cisco.com/cpc/launch.jsp.
Each of the AC power inputs requires a separate dedicated branch circuit. Note that the circuit breaker
and fuse lockout procedures should follow the rules and regulations in the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and any local codes. For a list of the nominal and acceptable value ranges for source AC power,
see Table A-5.
Table 1-3 lists the AC input power cord options, specifications, and Cisco product numbers for the AC
input version 1 power supply modules. Table 1-4 lists the AC input power cord options, specifications,
and Cisco product numbers for the AC input version 2 power supply modules.
Note Before connecting AC input power cords to the power system, make sure that the power cords are not

DC-Powered Router
Connections to DC power modules are rated at 60 A maximum. The system accepts a nominal input voltage
of –48 VDC with an operational tolerance range of –40 VDC to –72 VDC. One dedicated, commensurately
rated DC power source is required for each power module connection.
Power redundancy requirements vary based on the system configuration (number and type of line cards,
etc.). DC-powered systems are N+1 protected. A minimum of two power supplies are required for
redundant operation. Refer to the Cisco ASR 9000 Power Calculator to determine actual redundancy
requirements for any given configuration. See: http://tools.cisco.com/cpc/launch.jsp.
Power connections to the power tray for each DC power module requires four cables: two source cables
and two return cables. In addition, each DC power tray requires one earth ground, so the minimum
number of cables for connecting a single DC power module in a power tray is five (two source, two
return, one ground).
Note A separate ground connection is not required for the version 2 and version 3 power systems. For more
information see NEBS Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines, page 1-52.

Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation
Site Requirement Guidelines
For DC power cables, we recommend that you use 60-A-rated, high-strand-count copper wire cables.The
length of the cables depends on your router location from the source power. DC power cables are not
available from Cisco, but they are available from any commercial cable vendor.
You must terminate DC power cables using cable lugs at the power tray end. Ensure that the lugs are
dual-hole and that they fit over M6 terminal studs at 0.625-inch (15.88-mm) centers. For #4 AWG cable,
use Panduit part number LCD4-14AF-L or equivalent; for #6 AWG, use Panduit part number
LCD6-14AF-L or equivalent.
Warning
Hazardous voltage or energy may be present on power terminals. Always replace cover when
terminals are not in service. Be sure uninsulated conductors are not accessible when cover is in
place.
Statement 1086
Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.

Note A separate ground connection is not required for the version 2 or version 3 power systems. For more
information see the NEBS Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines, page 1-52.
The color coding of source DC power cable leads depends on the color coding of the site DC power
source. Because there is no color code standard for source DC wiring, be sure that power source cables
are connected to the power modules using the proper positive (+) and negative (–) polarity:
In some cases, the source DC cable leads might have a positive (+) or a negative (–) label. This is a
relatively safe indication of the polarity, but you must verify the polarity by measuring the voltage
between the DC cable leads. Be sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) cable leads match the
positive (+) and negative (–) labels on the power module when making the measurement.
Green (or green and yellow) cable typically indicates that it is a ground cable.
Caution DC power modules contain reverse voltage protection circuitry to prevent damage to the power module
if it detects a reverse polarity condition. No damage should occur from reverse polarity, but you should
correct a reverse polarity condition immediately.
For a list of the nominal and acceptable value ranges for source DC power, see “Appendix A.

NEBS Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines
Although the router chassis requires a safety earth ground connection as part of the power cabling to
power modules, you must permanently connect the central office ground system or interior equipment
grounding system to one of the three supplemental bonding and grounding connections on the back or
side of the router chassis to meet Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) requirements as well as
safety compliance requirements. These grounding points are referred to as the NEBS bonding and
grounding points.
Note These bonding and grounding connections satisfy the Telcordia NEBS requirements for supplemental
bonding and grounding connections. If you are not installing the router in a NEBS environment, you can
choose to bypass these guidelines and rely on the safety earth ground connections to the AC or DC power
modules.

To ensure a satisfactory supplemental ground connection to the router, use the following parts:
One grounding lug, which has two M6 bolt holes with 0.625- to 0.75-inch (15.86- to 19.05-mm)
spacing between them, and a wire receptacle able to accept a 2-6 AWG or larger, multistrand copper
wire. This lug is similar to those used for the DC input power supply leads (Figure 1-52).
Two 10-32 round-head screws and two locking washers (nickel-plated brass is ideal).
One grounding wire. Although we recommend at least 2-6 AWG multistrand copper wire, the wire
diameter and length depend on your router location and site environment.

RSP and RP Port Connection Guidelines
RSP and RP Port Connection Guidelines
This section contains detailed cabling and signal information for interface and port connections to the
Route System Processor (RSP) or Route Processor (RP) cards. It also provides information for Ethernet
routing and equipment.
Note The generic term RSP card refers to the RSP-440, RSP-440 Lite, and RSP-880 cards, unless otherwise
specified.
Caution Ports labeled Ethernet, SYNC, CONSOLE, and AUX are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV
circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits.
Console Port and Auxiliary Port Connection Guidelines
Each RSP/RP card has two EIA/TIA-232 (formerly RS232) serial RJ-45 connection ports:
Console port—RJ-45 interface for connecting a data terminal device to the router, which you need
to perform the initial configuration of the router.
Auxiliary port—RJ-45 interface for connecting a modem.
Note The console and auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports. Ensure that devices connected to
these ports are capable of asynchronous transmission.
For the console and auxiliary port locations, see Route Processor Overview, page 4-19.

Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation
RSP and RP Port Connection Guidelines
Console Port Signals
The console port is an RJ-45 interface for connecting a terminal to the router. The console port does not
support modem control or hardware flow control and requires a straight-through RJ-45 cable.
Before connecting a terminal to the console port, check the terminal setting for the data transmission
rate, in bits per second (bps). The terminal transmission rate setting must match the default rate of the
console port, which is 9600 bps. Set the terminal to these operational values: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no
parity, 2 stop bits (9600 8N2).
Table 1-5 lists the signals used on the console port.
Auxiliary Port Signals
The Auxiliary (AUX) port is an RJ-45 interface for connecting a modem or other data communication
equipment (DCE) device (such as another router) to the RSP/RP. The AUX port supports hardware flow
control and modem control.
Table 1-6 lists the signals used on the auxiliary port.

Management LAN Ports Connection Guidelines
Each RSP/RP card has two RJ-45 media-dependent interface (MDI) Ethernet management LAN ports:
MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1. These ports are used for IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps), or
1000BASE-T (1000 Mbps) Ethernet connections. For the management port locations, see Route
Processor Overview, page 4-19.
The transmission speed of the management LAN ports is not user-configurable. The transmission speed
is set through an autosensing scheme on the RSP/RP; the speed is determined by the network that the
Ethernet port is connected to. The combined total input rate of both MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1 is
about 12 Mbps.
Management port characteristics are:
Maximum transmission unit (MTU) is fixed at 1514 and cannot be configured.
Flow control is disabled and cannot be configured.
Input unicast packets with an unknown destination address are filtered and dropped.
Autonegotiation of port speed (100/1000) and duplex (full/half) is supported. Autonegotiation
cannot be disabled.
Table 1-7 lists the signals used on the Management LAN ports.
Management LAN Port LED Indicators
The Management LAN connectors have integral LED indicators (Figure 1-62). When lit, these LEDs
indicate:
Green (LINK)—Connection is alive.

Alarm Connection Guidelines
The RSP/RP card has an alarm connector on its front panel. This 9-pin D-subconnectors (ALARM OUT)
connects the router to an external site alarm maintenance system (Figure 1-65). When a critical, major,
or minor alarm is generated, it energizes the alarm relays on the RSP/RP card to activate the external site
alarm.
Figure 1-65 Alarm Connector on the RSP/RP Card Front Panel
The alarm relay contacts on the RSP/RP card consist of standard common, normally open, and normally
closed relay contacts that are wired to the pins on the connectors.
Caution Only safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits can be connected to the alarm connector. Maximum rating
for the alarm circuit is 100 mA, 50 V.
Note To comply with the intrabuilding lightning surge requirements of Telecordia GR-1089-CORE, Issue II,
Revision 01, February 1999, you must use a shielded cable when connecting to the external alarm port
on the RSP/RP card. The shielded cable is terminated by shielded connectors on both ends, with the
cable shield material tied to both connectors.

RSP and RP Port Connection Guidelines
Table 1-8 lists the pin-to-signal correspondence between the cable connector pins and the alarm
connector relay contacts.
Sync Port Connection Guidelines
The SYNC 0 and SYNC 1 ports are timing synchronization ports. They can be configured as Building
Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) ports or J.211 ports (Figure 1-66).
Note Both ports must be configured to be the same mode. It is not possible to use external BITS and J.211
sources at the same time.
When configured as BITS ports, they provide connections for an external synchronization source for
establishing precise frequency control at multiple network nodes, if required for your application. The
RSP/RP card contains a synchronous equipment timing source (SETS) that can receive a frequency
reference from an external BITS timing interface or from a clock signal recovered from any incoming
Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface. The RSP/RP SETS circuit filters the received timing
signal and uses it to drive outgoing Ethernet interfaces.
The BITS input can be T1, E1 or 64K 4/. The BITS output can be T1, E1 or 6.312M 5/.
When configured as J.211 ports, they can be used as Universal Timing Interface (UTI) ports to
synchronize timing across multiple routers by connecting to an external timing source.
When lit, these LEDs indicate for BITS:
Green (LINK)—Connection is alive.
Amber (FAULT)—A fault has occurred.

RSP and RP Port Connection Guidelines
CMP Port
The Connectivity Management Processor (CMP) on the RSP-440, RSP-440 Lite, and RSP-880 card, is
a secondary, lightweight processor that provides a second network interface to the system. Each CMP
contains its own RAM, bootflash, and front panel management Ethernet port.
The CMP port provides the following functions:
RSP4 ROMMON console access through the CMP port. This eliminates the need to use external
terminal servers.
SSH/telnet into a designated CMP port.
RSP Compact Flash Slot
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router RSP cards support a single ATA/IDE type I/II compact flash external
slot accessible on the front panel. The compact flash slot has a door that can be closed whether a compact
flash device is present or not. The file systems supported on compact flash are DOS/FAT or QNX4. The
compact flash comes with a DOS format. The supported flash disk sizes and their Cisco part numbers
are listed in Table 4-5.
The RSP-440, RSP-440 Lite, and RSP-880 cards do not have an ATA/IDE type I/II compact flash external
slot.
USB Port
The RSP-440, RSP-440 Lite, RSP-880, and Cisco ASR 9922 Router RP cards have a single external
Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. A USB flash memory device can be inserted to load and transfer
software images and files. This memory device can be used to turboboot the system or as the installation
source for Package Information Envelopes (PIE) and Software Maintenance Upgrades (SMU). This
memory device can also be used for users' data files, core files, and configuration backups.

Step 4 Use a scissors jack to remove the chassis from the shipping rack. Place a pallet jack next to the chassis
inside the shipping rack and push/pull the chassis onto the pallet jack for transport to the rack.
Caution Tilt the chassis only when absolutely necessary. The chassis is large and heavy. If it were to fall, it could
cause harm to itself and its surroundings. Before attempting to tilt the chassis, reduce the weight of the
system by removing all of the components in the chassis. The chassis should then be tilted in a direction
so that the rear of the chassis is facing downward. The distance the chassis travels without its packaging
should be as short as possible.
Step 5 On the rear of the chassis is an integrated handle which is used to pull the chassis from the pallet jack
into the rack where the chassis is to be installed. Position the chassis so that the rear handle is facing the
front of the rack.
Step 6 From the rear of the rack, pull the chassis by the handle into the rack, making sure that the chassis sits
on top of the guide rails in the rack.
Step 7 Once the chassis is pulled into the rack and sits on top of the guide rails, use screws to fasten the chassis
to the rack.

Rack-Mounting the Router Chassis
Rack-Mounting the Router Chassis
The router chassis is installed in a front-mounted position, as shown in Figure 1-18 for the Cisco ASR
9010 Router, Figure 1-19 for the Cisco ASR 9006 Router, Figure 1-20 for the Cisco ASR 9904 Router,
Figure 1-26 for the Cisco ASR 9922 Router, and Figure 1-27 for the Cisco ASR 9912 Router.
In a front-mounted position, the chassis rack-mounting flanges are secured directly to the rack posts.
Note The Cisco ASR 9922 Router and Cisco ASR 9912 Router are designed to mount in only 4-post racks.
Verifying Rack Dimensions
Before you install the chassis, measure the space between the vertical mounting flanges (rails) on your
equipment rack to verify that the rack conforms to the measurements shown in Figure 2-37.
Step 1 Mark and measure the distance between two holes on the left and right mounting rails.
The distance should measure 18.31 inches ± 0.06 inches (46.5 cm ± 0.15 cm).
Note Measure for pairs of holes near the bottom, middle and top of the equipment rack to ensure that
the rack posts are parallel.
Step 2 Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting flanges on the
equipment rack.
The space must be at least 17.7 inches (45 cm) to accommodate the chassis, which is approximately
17.50 inches (44.45 cm) wide and fits between the mounting posts on the rack.

Rack-Mounting the Router Chassis
Installing the Chassis in a 4-post Open Rack
To mount the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Cisco ASR 9922 Router or Cisco ASR 9912 Router chassis in a
4-post open rack, two side brackets must be attached to the chassis and the rear posts. See Figure 2-44
for the Cisco ASR 9010 Router and Figure 2-47 for the Cisco ASR 9922 Router and
Cisco ASR 9912 Router.
To mount the Cisco ASR 9006 Router (Figure 2-45) or Cisco ASR 9904 Router (Figure 2-46) in a
4-post open rack, extra brackets are not required.
Preparing the 19 Inch 45-RU Rack
To prepare the 19 Inch 45-RU rack that will contain either the Cisco ASR 9922 Router chassis or
Cisco ASR 9912 Router chassis:
Step 1 Install the two guide rails into the bottom of the rack (Figure 2-47).
The two guide rails at the bottom of the rack are included in the ASR-9922-ACC-KIT and
ASR-9912-ACC-KIT accessory kits. Use screws to fasten these two guide rails into the front and rear
rails of the rack.
The two guide rails have six holes (three per rail) that accommodate 12-24 or M6 screws. If you want to
use smaller 10-32 screws, you must use them with bushings to fit the larger holes (Figure 2-13). The
bottom rail is keyed to the EIA mounting hole pattern. Install the rails at the first RU location. The rear
rack mount brackets are installed by aligning the bracket mounting holes to the holes on the rear cover
of the chassis.
Step 2 Use a scissors jack to remove the chassis from the shipping rack. Place a pallet jack next to the chassis
inside the shipping rack and push/pull the chassis onto the pallet jack for transport to the rack.
Step 3 On the rear of the Cisco ASR 9922 Router is an integrated handle that is used to pull the chassis from
the pallet jack into the rack where the chassis is to be installed.
a. Position the chassis so that the rear handle is facing the front of the rack.
b. From the rear of the rack, pull the chassis by the handle into the rack, making sure that the chassis
sits on top of the guide rails in the rack.
Step 4 On the Cisco ASR 9912 Router, the handles are on the sides of the chassis. Once the chassis is pulled
into the rack and sits on top of the guide rails, use screws to fasten the chassis to the rack.

An electrical conducting path must exist between the product chassis and the metal surface of the
enclosure or rack in which it is mounted, or to a grounding conductor. The chassis has two grounding
points on each side of the baffle, however only one ground is required. The other will be grounded
through the top and bottom air deflectors. Figure 2-79 shows the baffle ground location on the chassis.
You can ground the baffle by either attaching a grounding lug to the chassis (NEBS Supplemental Unit
Bonding and Grounding Guidelines, page 1-52), or by using thread-forming mounting screws to
establish a metal-to-metal contact. If you are using screws, remove any paint or other non-conductive
coatings on the surfaces between the mounting hardware and the enclosure or rack. Clean all surfaces
and apply an antioxidant applied before the installation.

Installing Cards in the Chassis
Installing Cards in the Chassis
This section describes how to reinstall the RSP cards, RP cards, FCs, and LCs back into the chassis.
See the
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router SIP and SPA Hardware Installation
Guide
for information about installing shared port adapter (SPA) and SPA interface processor (SIP)
cards.
Caution Be sure to verify that you are inserting a card into its correct slot. RSP/RP cards must only be inserted
in the two slots reserved for RSP/RP cards (RSP0, RSP1, RP0, RP1). FCs must only be inserted in the
FC slots of the Cisco ASR 9922 Router and Cisco ASR 9912 Router. All other slots are for LCs.
Caution Unoccupied card slots must have a blank filler card installed for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
and to ensure proper air flow through the chassis.
Caution Be careful to avoid damaging the electromagnetic interference (EMI) gasket that runs along the full
height of the card front panel edges. Damage to the EMI gasket can affect the ability of your system to
meet EMC requirements.
Caution Handle all cards by the metal card carrier edges only; avoid touching the board or any connector pins.
After removing a card, carefully place it in an antistatic bag or similar environment to protect it from
ESD and dust in the optic ports (fiber-optic line cards).
Caution To avoid damaging card mechanical components, never carry an RSP card, RP card, FC, or LC by the
captive installation screws or ejector levers. Doing so can damage these components and cause card
insertion problems.
Caution Be sure to always tighten the captive installation screws on the RSP card, RP card, FC, or LC. Failure to
tighten the screws can cause boot failure or prevent proper router operation.

Chapter 3 Installing Cards and Modules in the Chassis
Installing Cards in the Chassis
Installing RSP Cards in the Chassis
Follow these steps to reinstall RSP cards into the chassis (See Figure 2-20 and Figure 2-21 for slot
numbering):
Step 1 Starting at slot RSP0, slide the card into the slot.
Step 2 Pivot the ejector levers to seat the card to the backplane connector.
Caution Do not apply excessive force to the RSP card to seat it. When seated, the RSP card ejector levers are
angled slightly outward from the card faceplate (item 1 in Figure 3-4). When the captive installation
screws are fully tightened, the ejector levers are parallel to the card faceplate (item 2 in Figure 3-4).
Some flexing in the backplane is normal. When you push the ejector levers fully vertical, the card is
seated in the backplane connectors. However, when you release the levers, backplane flexing pushes the
levers out, so the levers may be slightly loose. Tightening the captive installation screws prevents any
additional movement from flexing of the backplane.
Step 3 Tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom of the front panel to a torque of 10 +/–1 in-lb.
Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to install the second RSP card into slot RSP1.
Note Even when the RSP card is fully seated with installation screws fully tightened, there may be a slight
gap between the card and the chassis (item 3 in Figure 3-4).

fully tightened, the ejector levers are parallel to the card faceplate (item 2 in Figure 3-4). Some flexing
in the backplane is normal. When you push the ejector levers fully vertical, the card is seated in the
backplane connectors. However, when you release the levers, backplane flexing pushes the levers out,
so the levers may be slightly loose. Tightening the captive installation screws prevents any additional
movement from flexing of the backplane.
Step 3 Tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom of the front panel to a torque of 10 +/–1 in-lb.
Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to install the second RP card into slot RP1.

Step 1 Starting at slot FC0, slide the card into the slot.
Step 2 Pivot the ejector levers to seat the card to the backplane connector.
Caution Do not apply excessive force to the FC to seat it. When seated, the FC ejector levers are angled slightly
outward from the card faceplate (item 1 in Figure 3-4). When the captive installation screws are fully
tightened, the ejector levers are parallel to the card faceplate (item 2 in Figure 3-4). Some flexing in the
backplane is normal. When you push the ejector levers fully vertical, the card is seated in the backplane
connectors. However, when you release the levers, backplane flexing pushes the levers out, so the levers
may be slightly loose. Tightening the captive installation screws prevents any additional movement from
flexing of the backplane.
Step 3 Tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom of the front panel to a torque of 10 +/–1 in-lb.
Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to install the remaining FCs into slots FC1 to FC6.
Note Even when the FC is fully seated with installation screws fully tightened, there may be a slight gap
between the card and the chassis (item 3 in Figure 3-4).
Installing Line Cards in the Chassis
Before you begin reinstalling cards in the card cage, identify slot assignments by referring to the written
list you prepared when you removed the cards (see Figure 2-20, Figure 2-22, and Figure 2-27, and
Figure 2-31 for slot numbering).
Caution Be careful to avoid damaging the EMI gasket that runs along the full height of the card front panel edges.
Damage to the EMI gasket can affect the ability of your system to meet EMI requirements.
Follow these steps to reinstall line cards in the chassis card cage:
Step 1 Starting at the lowest numbered line card slot, slide the card into the slot (see Figure 3-6, Figure 3-7,
Figure 3-9, or Figure 3-10) until it mates with the backplane connector.
Step 2 Pivot the ejector levers to seat the card into the backplane connector.

Connecting Line Card Network Interface Cables
Connecting Line Card Network Interface Cables
This section describes how to route the network interface cables through the router cable-management
system and attach the network interface cables to the line card ports.
This procedure uses an 40x1GE line card as an example to describe how to attach a network interface
cable to a line card port and route the cable through the cable-management system. Depending on which
line cards are installed in your system, your cable connection procedure might differ slightly from this
example. For cable connection information for your specific line card, refer to the installation and
configuration note for that line card.
Note You can access the most current Cisco line card documentation online at: http://www.cisco.com
Follow these steps as an example to route the network interface cables through the cable-management
system and connect them to the line card:
Step 1 Route an interface cable across the horizontal cable management tray (Figure 3-11), and down through
the cable tray opening to connect it to the line card.
Note Each line card has its own cable routing slot in the cable management tray. For example, Figure 3-11
shows cables being routed to line card 3 in slot 3 in a Cisco ASR 9010 Router.
Figure 3-11 Routing Interface Cables through the Cable Management Tray
Step 2 Attach a line card cable management bracket to the line card front panel (Figure 3-12). This bracket is

Caution Ethernet management ports are primarily used as Telnet ports into the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router,
and for booting or accessing Cisco software images over a network to which an Ethernet port is directly
connected. We strongly caution you to consider the security implications of enabling routing functions
on these ports.
Note The Ethernet interfaces on the RSP/RP are endstation devices only, not repeaters.
Follow these steps to connect an Ethernet cable to the RSP/RP RJ-45 Ethernet receptacle:
Step 1 Plug the cable directly into the RJ-45 receptacle.
Step 2 Connect the network end of your RJ-45 cable to a switch, hub, repeater, or other external equipment.
Connecting the Alarm Cable
The router alarm connector, located on the RSP/RP front panel, is a 9-pin D-subconnector, labeled
Alarm Out (Figure 3-18).

Chapter 3 Installing Cards and Modules in the Chassis
Connecting Power to the Router
The alarm subconnector can be used to connect the router to an external site alarm maintenance system.
Any critical, major, and minor alarms generated by the router also energize alarm relays on the alarm
card and activate the external site alarm. The alarm relay contacts on the RSP/RP card consist of standard
common, normally open, and normally closed relay contacts that are wired to the Alarm Out connector
pins.
Table 1-8 lists the pin-to-signal correspondence between the connector pins and the alarm relay contacts.
Because alarm contact cables are entirely dependent on installation site circumstances, alarm connector
cables are not available from Cisco. For information about alarm connector wiring requirements and the
pinouts for the alarm connector interface, see Alarm Connection Guidelines, page 1-59.
Caution Only safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits can be connected to the Alarm Out connector. Maximum
rating for the alarm circuit is 100 mA, 50 V.
Note To comply with the intra-building lightning surge requirements of GR-1089-CORE, Issue II,
Revision 01, February 1999, you must use a shielded cable when connecting to the external alarm port
on the RSP/RP card. The shielded cable is terminated by shielded connectors on both ends, with the
cable shield material tied to both connectors.
Connecting Power to the Router
Use the one of the following procedures to connect power to your router.
Connecting Power to an AC-Powered Router, page 3-26
Connecting Power to a DC-Powered Router, page 3-28
Caution A router must be operated with all its power modules installed at all times for electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC).
Connecting Power to an AC-Powered Router
Follow these steps to connect the AC power cords to the router.
Note Connect each AC power supply to a dedicated power source (branch circuit). Each AC input
power supply operates at a nominal input level of 200 to 240 VAC. For more information on AC
power input levels, see Power Connection Guidelines, page 1-36.
Step 1 Check that the power switch is set to the STANDBY (0) position.
On version 1 power trays, this switch is at the rear of the power tray.
On version 2 and version 3 power trays, this switch is at the front of the power tray.
Step 2 Check that the circuit breaker assigned to the AC power source you are connecting is set to OFF.
Step 3 Connect the permanent ground connection (central office grounding system) to the NEBS grounding
location on the router chassis.

Connecting Power to the Router
Caution To ensure that power remains off while you are performing this procedure, lock-out/tag-out the circuit
breaker switch in the off (0) position until you are ready to turn it on.
Step 4 Plug the AC power cord into the receptacle at the rear of the AC power tray (see Figure 3-19 for the
version 1 power tray and Figure 3-20 for the version 2 and version 3 power tray).
Step 5 Close the retainer bracket to secure the AC power cord plug to the version 1 power tray receptacle. For
the version 2 and version 3 power tray, tighten the screw that clamps the AC power cord plug in place.

Connecting Power to the Router
Step 7 Proceed to the “Powering On the Router” section on page 3-32.
Connecting Power to a DC-Powered Router
This section contains the procedures to connect the DC source power cables to a DC-powered router.
The color coding of source DC power cable leads depends on the color coding of the site DC power
source. Because there is no color code standard for source DC wiring, you must be sure that power
source cables are connected to the power module with the proper positive (+) and negative (–) polarity:
In some cases, the source DC cable leads might have a positive (+) or a negative (–) label. This is a
relatively safe indication of the polarity, but you must verify the polarity by measuring the voltage
between the DC cable leads. Be sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) cable leads match the
positive (+) and negative (–) labels on the power module when making the measurement.
Green (or green and yellow) cable typically indicates that it is a ground cable.
Caution DC power modules contain circuitry to trip the breaker on the power module if the power module detects
a reverse polarity condition. No damage should occur from reverse polarity, but you should correct a
reverse-polarity condition immediately.
Note The length of the cables depends on the location of your router in relation to the source of DC power.
These cables and the cable lugs used to attach the cables to the router chassis are not available from Cisco
Systems. They are available from any commercial cable vendor. For more information on site power and
source DC cable requirements, see Power Connection Guidelines, page 1-36.
Caution To ensure that power remains off while you are performing this procedure, lock-out/tag-out the DC
circuit breaker switch in the off (0) position until you are ready to turn it on.
Follow these steps to connect the DC source power cables to a DC power tray:
Step 1 Verify that the power tray switch is set to the STANDBY (0) position.
Step 2 Remove the clear plastic safety covers that fit over the DC power connection terminal studs.
Step 3 Connect the DC power cables in the following order (see Figure 3-19 for the version 1 power system,
Figure 3-20 for the version 2 power system, and Figure 3-23 for the version 3 power system.
a. Ground cables first.
b. Positive cables next.
c. Negative cable last.
Step 4 Repeat Step 3 for the other power modules installed in the tray.
Caution To prevent injury and damage to the equipment, always attach the ground and source DC power cable
lugs to power tray terminals in the following order: (1) ground to ground, (2) positive (+) to positive (+),
(3) negative (–) to negative (–).

Troubleshooting Overview
Troubleshooting Using a Subsystem Approach
To solve a system problem, try to isolate the problem to a specific subsystem. Compare current router
behavior with expected router behavior. Because a startup issue is usually attributable to one component,
it is most efficient to examine each subsystem, rather than trying to troubleshoot each router component.
Table 4-1 describes the subsystems for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers:
Table 4-1 Subsystem Descriptions for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers
Type of Subsystem Description
Power subsystem Up to 8 AC input or DC input power supply modules can
be installed in the Cisco ASR 9010 Router chassis.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting the Installation
Troubleshooting Overview
Note There are two types of image files, -P PIE files, and x86-based -PX PIE files. -P PIE files are for use on
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers with RSP route switch processors (RSP-4G and RSP-8G). -PX PIE files
are for use on the routers with RSP-440/RSP-440 Lite and RSP-880 route switch processors, and the
Cisco ASR 9922 Router and Cisco ASR 9912 Router route processors.
Normal Router Startup Sequence
You can generally determine when and where the router failed during the startup sequence by checking
the status LEDs on the power modules, and the alphanumeric displays on the RSP, RP, and line cards.
In a normal router startup sequence, the following sequence of events and conditions occur:
1. The fan in each power module receives power and begins drawing air through the power supply.
The power module input power and output power indicators are on.
2. The fans in the fan tray receive power and begin drawing air through the chassis.
The fan tray OK indicator is on.
3. As the power-on and boot process progresses for the RSP/RP, the status of the RSP/RP appears on
the alphanumeric display on the front panel of the card.
Cooling subsystem

Power cords plugged into the power tray receptacles are secured in place with their retention clips.
Power cords at the power source end are securely plugged into their own AC power outlets.
Source AC circuit breaker is switched on.
Step 3 Check the power supply status LED indicators:
Input power LED (green)—Indicates that the AC power input is operating normally, and the source
AC input voltage of 200 to 240 VAC is within the nominal operating range.
If the input power LED is blinking, the input voltage is out of acceptable range. Verify that each AC
power source is operating in the nominal range of 200 to 240 VAC.
Note On the DC power tray, the Power Input LED is lit solid green if both DC feeds are valid and
blinks green if only a single DC feed is valid.
Output power LED (green)—Indicates that the DC power output is operating normally and the
–54 VDC output voltage to the backplane are within the nominal operating range. This indicator
lights only when the power switch at the rear of the power tray is set to the ON (1) position.
If the Output power LED remains off after checking all the power sources, replace the power
supply with a spare. If the spare power module does not work, troubleshoot the power tray in
which the module is plugged.
If the output power LED is blinking, the power module is in a power limit or overcurrent
condition. Make sure that each power cord is connected to a dedicated AC power source. Verify
that each AC power source is operating in the nominal range of 200 to 240 VAC and is supplying
a minimum service of 20 A, North America (or 13 A, international).
Fault LED (red)—Indicates that the system has detected a fault within the power supply. This
indicator remains off during normal operation. If the fault LED is on:
If your system has more than one power tray (Cisco ASR 9010 Router,
Cisco ASR 9922 Router, and Cisco ASR 9912 Router) with power modules installed for
redundancy, you can toggle the power switch at the rear of the first power tray off and then on.
If the fault LED remains on after several attempts to power it on, replace the power module with
a spare.
If the spare power module also fails, the problem could be a faulty power tray backplane
connector. Power off the router and contact a Cisco service representative for assistance.
Verify that the power module fans are operating properly.
Verify that the fan tray is operating properly.
If the power module fans and the fan trays are operating properly, replace the existing power module
with a spare.
Caution Because the AC input power subsystems use redundant power modules, a problem with the DC output
voltage to the backplane from only one power module should not affect router operation. When the router
is equipped with two AC power supplies, it powers on and operates even if one power supply fails.
However, complete router functionality may be affected depending on the system load.

Step 3 Check the power supply status LED indicators:
Input power LED (green)—Indicates that the DC power input is operating normally, and the source
DC input voltage is within the nominal operating range of –40 to –72 VDC.
If the input power LED is blinking, input connections to the power module are loose or not
connected, or the input voltage is below the minimum. Verify that DC power from the source is
operating in the nominal range of –40 to –72 VDC.
Note On the DC power tray, the Power Input LED is lit solid green if both DC feeds are valid
and blinks green if only a single DC feed is valid. Check the input connections to the
power module.
If the indicator is still flashing after you perform the above checks, replace the power module.
Output power LED (green)—Indicates that the DC power output is operating normally, and the
–54 VDC output voltage to the backplane is within the nominal operating range. This indicator
lights only when the power switch at the rear of the power tray is set to the ON (1) position.
If the output power LED remains off after checking all the power sources, replace the power
module with a spare. If the spare power module does not work, troubleshoot the power tray in
which the module is plugged.
If the output power LED is blinking, the power module is in a power limit or overcurrent

Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem
Fault LED (red)—Indicates that the system has detected a fault within the power supply. This
indicator remains off during normal operation. If the fault LED is on, check the following:
If your system has more than one power tray (Cisco ASR 9010 Router,
Cisco ASR 9922 Router, and Cisco ASR 9912 Router) with power modules installed for
redundancy, you can toggle the power switch at the rear of the first power tray off and then on.
If the fault LED is still on, eject and reseat the power module. If the fault LED remains on after
several attempts to power it on, replace the power module with a spare.
If the spare power module also fails, the problem could be a faulty power tray backplane
connector. Power off the router and contact a Cisco service representative for assistance.
Verify that the power module fans are operating properly.
Verify that the fan tray is operating properly.
If the power module fans and the fan trays are operating properly, replace the faulty power
module with a spare.
Caution Because there are redundant power modules, a problem with the DC output voltage to the backplane
from only one power module should not affect router operation. When the router is equipped with two
DC power supplies, it powers on even if one power supply fails. However, complete router functionality
may be affected depending on the system load.
Additional Power Subsystem Troubleshooting Information
This section contains additional troubleshooting information to help you isolate the cause of a power
problem.
Obtaining Temperature and Environmental Information
If both the RSP/RP and fan trays are operating, all internal correct DC voltages are present.
Enter the show environment command at the router admin prompt to display temperature and voltage
information for each installed card, fan tray, and power module as shown in this example:

Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem
Troubleshooting the Power Distribution System
The power distribution system consists of:
AC or DC power modules, which supply –54 VDC to the backplane.
Chassis backplane, which carries voltage to chassis components.
DC-to-DC converters, which convert –54 VDC from the backplane to the correct voltages required
by the line cards.
Follow these steps to troubleshoot the power distribution system:
Step 1 Check each power module to make sure that:
Power module door is fully closed and properly secured by its latch.
Green Input Power LED is on.
Green Output Power LED is on.
Red Fault LED is off.
If the power modules meet the above criteria, then the correct source power is present and within
tolerance and output DC power is present. The power modules are functioning properly.
Step 2 Make sure the fan trays are operating:
If the fan trays are functioning, then the –54 VDC from the chassis backplane and the cables from
the backplane to the fan trays are functioning properly.
If one or both fan trays are not functioning, there may be a problem with either the fan trays
themselves, or the –54 VDC power supplied to the fan trays. Eject and reseat the fan trays.
If a fan tray is still not operating, there could be a problem with the fan tray controller card or cable.
Replace the fan tray.
Contact your Cisco representative if replacing a fan tray or both fan trays does not fix the problem.

Troubleshooting the Route Processor Subsystem
Troubleshooting the Route Processor Subsystem
The router processor subsystem consists of the route processor located on the RSP card. The RSP and
the line cards each have the same onboard CPU serving as the main processor. The Controller Area
Network (CAN) microcontroller processor monitors the environment and controls the onboard
DC-to-DC converters.
Note A minimally configured router must have an RSP/RP installed in RSP slot 0 or RP slot 0 of the card cage
to operate. If the router is equipped with a redundant RSP/RP, the redundant RSP/RP must be installed
in RSP slot 1 or RP slot 1 of the card cage.
This section contains information to troubleshoot the route processor subsystem, including:
Route Processor Overview, page 4-19
RSP and RP Front Panel Indicators, page 4-25
Troubleshooting RSP and RP Cards, page 4-29
Fabric Card Front Panel Indicator, page 4-31
Troubleshooting Line Cards and Modular Port Adapters, page 4-31
Route Processor Overview
The CPU on the RSP/RP card provides chassis control and management, boot media functionality,
telecom timing and precision clock synchronization, communication to the line cards through the
backplane Ethernet network, and power control through the CAN bus. In addition, the CPU on the
RSP/RP card also runs the routing protocols.
The RP2 card has more processing power than the earlier RP. It also doubles the amount of storage and
supported memory as well as the memory bandwidth. This provides the path to scale the number of
routes up in this generation. In addition the internal control plane bandwidth has been scaled up to allow
better control of the linecards as the network bandwidth increases. Figure 4-8 identifies the ports and
LEDs on the RP card front panel. Figure 4-9 identifies the ports and LEDs on the RP2 card front panel.

Compact Flash and Status LEDs
One compact flash slot provides the RSP with additional flash memory capacity. All combinations of
different flash devices are supported by the RSP. You can use ATA flash disks, Type 1 or Type 2 linear
flash memory cards, or a combination of the two.
Note The RSP card only supports +5.2 VDC flash memory devices. It does not support +3.3 VDC PCMCIA
devices.
Note The RSP-440, RSP-440 Lite, RSP-880, and RP cards do not have a compact flash slot.
The slot has an eject button (located behind the cover) to remove a flash card from the slot.
Ethernet Ports and Status LEDs
The RSP/RP cards have two 8-pin media-dependent interface (MDI) RJ-45 Management LAN ports for
100 Mbps and 1000Mbps Ethernet connections. These ports are labeled MGT LAN 0 and MGT LAN 1.
The transmission speed of the Ethernet port is not user-configurable. You set the speed through an
autosensing scheme on the RSP/RP, which determines the speed by the network that the Ethernet port is
connected to. However, even at an autosensed data transmission rate of 100 Mbps, the Ethernet port can
only provide a usable bandwidth of substantially less than 100 Mbps. You can expect a maximum usable
bandwidth of approximately 12 Mbps when using an Ethernet connection.
The following LEDs on the front panel indicate traffic status and port selection (Figure 4-10):

Auxiliary and Console Ports
The auxiliary and console ports on the RSP/RP are EIA/TIA-232 (also known as RS-232) asynchronous
serial ports connect external devices to monitor and manage the system:
Auxiliary port—RJ-45 interface that supports flow control and is often used to connect a modem, a
channel service unit (CSU), or other optional equipment for Telnet management.
Console port—Receptacle (female) that provides a RJ-45 interface for connecting a console
terminal.
Alphanumeric Message Displays
The alphanumeric message displays are organized in one row of four LED characters (see callout 8 in
Figure 4-5 for the RSP card, callout 12 in Figure 4-6 for the RSP-440 and RSP-440 Lite cards, callout
13 in Figure 4-7 for the RSP-880 card, callout 13 in Figure 4-8 for the RP card, and callout 13 in
Figure 4-9 for the RP2 card.
The alphanumeric message displays show router status messages during the boot process and after the
boot process is complete:
During the boot process, the message displays are controlled directly by the CAN microcontroller.
After the boot process, the message displays are controlled by Cisco IOS XR software (through the
CAN bus).

network (or from a local server) to replace an existing image or to add it as an additional image. The
router can be booted (manually or automatically) from any of the stored images in flash memory.
Flash memory also functions as a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server to allow other servers to
boot remotely from the stored images, or to copy them into their own flash memory.
The system uses two types of flash memory:
Onboard flash memory (bootflash)—Contains the Cisco IOS XR boot image
Compact flash memory disks (or cards)—Contains the Cisco IOS XR software images
Note The RSP-440, RSP-440 Lite, RSP-880, and RP cards do not have a compact flash slot.
Table 4-5 lists supported compact flash disk sizes and Cisco part numbers.

Alphanumeric display is powered directly from the CAN microcontroller on the RSP card through
the chassis backplane:
If the alphanumeric display is not operating, the CAN microcontroller may be malfunctioning.
If the CAN microcontroller is operating, the alphanumeric display could be on even if the RSP
failed to power on.
If the alphanumeric display is not operating, but the power modules and the fan trays are operational,
the RSP may not be installed properly, or the +5 VDC output from the chassis backplane may be
faulty:
Make sure that the system is powered on.
Initialize the RSP card by ejecting it from the chassis backplane and then reseating it.

If the alphanumeric display is operating, check the meaning of the messages (see Table 4-6 for the
RSP).
When the DC-to-DC converters are powered on by the CAN microcontroller, the begins the RSP
boot process and displays various status messages. Some messages appear briefly; while others
appear for several seconds. If the messages appear to stop at a particular point, the boot process may
be halted:
Make a note of the message.
Turn off power to the router, then turn on the power again to reset the router and start the boot
process. If the router halts again, replace the RSP (see Removing and Replacing Cards from the

Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem
Monitoring Critical, Major, and Minor Alarm Status
The alarms can warn of:
Overtemperature condition on a component in the card cage
Fan failure in a fan tray
Overcurrent condition in a power supply
Out-of-tolerance voltage on one of the cards
Insertion count for an RSP card, RP, card, FC, or LC has reached a specified threshold. For more
information on OIR insertion counts, see OIR Monitoring, page 5-3.
The alarm LEDs are controlled by the CAN microcontroller software, which sets the threshold levels for
triggering the different stages of alarms.
The RSP/RP card continuously polls the system for temperature, voltage, current, and fan speed values.
If a threshold value is exceeded, the RSP/RP sets the appropriate alarm severity level on the alarm card,
which lights the corresponding LED, and energizes the appropriate alarm display relays to activate any
external audible or visual alarms wired to the alarm display. The RSP/RP also logs a message about the
threshold violation on the system console.
Note If one or more of the alarm LEDs is on, check the system console for messages describing the alarm.
Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem
You may need to troubleshoot the cooling subsystem if an overtemperature condition occurs. The
cooling subsystem of the router consists of a fan tray in the chassis and a fan in each of the power
supplies. The fan tray and the power supply fans circulate air to maintain acceptable operating
temperatures within the router.
Caution When troubleshooting the fan trays, never unplug all the fan trays at the same time.

Chassis Cooling Requirements
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series supports version 1 and version 2 fan trays. Version 2 high-speed fans provide
additional cooling for new generation line cards that draw more power and generate more heat. Table 4-8
lists the chassis cooling requirements for these cards.
4-33
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting the Installation
Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem
Table 4-8 Chassis Cooling Requirements for Next Generation Line Cards
Fan Tray Operation
The fan trays maintain acceptable operating temperatures for the internal components by drawing
cooling air through a replaceable air filter into the switch fabric and alarm card cage and then through
the line card and RSP card cage.
See Figure 1-12 for the Cisco ASR 9010 Router cooling path, Figure 1-13 for the
Cisco ASR 9006 Router cooling path, and Figure 1-14 for the Cisco ASR 9904 Router cooling path.
In the Cisco ASR 9922 Router, the fan trays draw cooling air from the front of the chassis into the
middle card cage and then through each of the two line card cages top and bottom (Figure 1-15).
The fan tray receives power from the chassis backplane through a wiring harness.
In the Cisco ASR 9912 Router, the rear-insertion fan trays draw cooling air from the front of the
chassis into the card cage and then up through the chassis to exit out the rear (Figure 1-16).
The fan tray contains 12 fans (Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Cisco ASR 9904 Router,
Cisco ASR 9922 Router, and Cisco ASR 9912 Router) or six fans (Cisco ASR 9006 Router), a
controller card, and one front panel status LED indicator:
Green—Fan tray is functioning properly.
Red—There is a fault detected in the fan tray.
If the air temperature inside the chassis rises, blower speed increases to provide additional cooling air to
the internal components. If the internal air temperature continues to rise beyond the specified threshold,
the system environmental monitor shuts down all internal power to prevent equipment damage because
of excessive heat.
If the system detects that one or more of the fans in the fan tray has failed, it displays a warning message
on the system console. In addition, the remaining fans go to full speed to compensate for the loss of the
failed fan.

Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem
Note Due to air leakage, the chassis should not be operated with any of the fan trays completely missing.
Replace any missing fan tray within five minutes. Any fan tray replacement should be performed when
the chassis is back to room temperature.
Power Module Fans
Each AC or DC power module is equipped with two fans that draw cooling air in through the front of the
power module and force warm air out the back of the power tray:
If the power source is within the required range, the power supply fan remains on.
If a fan fails:
Power module detects an internal overtemperature condition.
Fault and Temp indicators light.
Power module sends an overtemperature warning to the system and then shuts down the system.
For additional power supply troubleshooting information, see Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem,
page 4-7.
Note For the RSP/RP to communicate properly to a power module in a power tray, input power to at least one
of the three power modules in the power tray should be present.
Overtemperature Conditions
The following console error message indicates that the system has detected an overtemperature condition
or out-of-tolerance power value inside the system:
Queued messages:
%ENVM-1-SHUTDOWN: Environmental Monitor initiated shutdown
The preceding message could also indicate a faulty component or temperature sensor. Enter the show
environment command or the show environment all command at the user EXEC prompt to display
information about the internal system environment. The information generated by these commands
includes:
Voltage measurements on each card from the DC-to-DC converter
The +5 VDC for the I2C module
Operating voltage for the fan trays
Temperature measurements received by two sensors on each card (one for inlet air temperature and
one for the card’s hot-spot temperature) as well as temperature measurements from sensors located
in each power module
If an environmental shutdown results from an overtemperature or out-of-tolerance condition, the Fault
indicator on the power supply lights before the system shuts down.
Although an overtemperature condition is unlikely at initial system startup, make sure that:
Heated exhaust air from other equipment in the immediate environment is not entering the chassis
card cage vents.
4-35
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting the Installation
Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem
You allow sufficient air flow by maintaining a minimum of 6 inches (15.24 cm) of clearance at both
the inlet and exhaust openings on the chassis and the power modules to allow cool air to enter freely
and hot air to be expelled from the chassis.
Isolating Cooling Subsystem Problems
Follow these steps to isolate a problem with the chassis cooling system if you have an overtemperature
condition:
Step 1 Make sure the fan trays are operating properly when you power on the system. To determine if a fan tray
is operating, check the LED indicator on each fan tray front panel:
OK (green)—Fan tray is functioning properly and receiving –48 VDC power, indicating that the
cables from the chassis backplane to the fan tray are good.
Fail (red)—Fault is detected in the fan tray. Replace the fan tray.
If neither indicator is on and the blower is not operating, there may be a problem with either the fan
tray or the –48 VDC power supplied to the fan tray. Go to Step 2.
Caution Never unplug all the fan trays at the same time.
Step 2 Eject and reseat the fan tray making sure the captive screws are securely tightened to a torque of
10 +/–1 in-lb.
If the fan tray still does not function, go to Step 3.
Step 3 Check for –48 VDC power by looking at the LED indicators on each power module:
If the Pwr OK indicator is on and the Fault indicator is off on each power module, it indicates that
the fan trays are receiving –48 VDC:
If a fan tray is still not functioning, there could be a problem with the fan tray controller card
or an undetected problem in the fan tray cable. Replace the fan tray.
If the new fan tray does not function, contact a Cisco customer service representative for
assistance.
If the Fault indicator is on, the power supply is faulty. Replace the power supply.
If the Temp and Fault indicators are on, an overtemperature condition exists:
Verify that the power supply fan is operating properly.
If the fan is not operating, replace the power supply.
Contact your Cisco representative if replacing the power supply does not fix the problem.

Prerequisites and Preparation
(LCs), shared port adapter (SPA), and SPA interface processor (SIP) cards all support OIR. Unless
otherwise noted, the maintenance tasks described in this chapter can be performed while the router
remains powered on.
Caution Never unplug all the fan trays at the same time.
Note Although the power trays are not a true FRU because they do not support OIR, a procedure for replacing
the power trays in Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers is included in this chapter if a replacement becomes
necessary.
OIR Monitoring
The BPID board monitors OIR by counting the number of card insertions for each slot and saving that
information in non-volatile memory. OIR monitoring is done for all fan trays, RSP cards, RP cards, FCs,
and LCs. A card insertion is determined by the CAN Bus Controller (CBC) of the inserted card booting
up and sending a CBC message which is intercepted by the BPID board. Note that a CBC reset or power
cycle on a card will also be interpreted as a card insertion.
Note A card with an OIR count that exceeds 175 will generate a minor alarm against that slot. If the card OIR
count exceeds 200, a major alarm is generated against that slot. Fan tray insertion counts are not checked
against a threshold. See the Release Notes for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers for
Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.9.1 for information about CLI commands for obtaining and resetting
card insertion data.

Replacing the Chassis Air Filter
Powering Off the Router
Caution Do not turn off the switch on the power tray to remove individual power modules. Power modules
support OIR, so they can be removed and replaced with the power on and the system operating.
If it becomes necessary to turn all power off to the router, follow these steps:
Step 1 Set the power switch on each power tray to the off (0) position.
Step 2 Power off all circuit breakers for the source power lines connected to the power trays.
Step 3 Verify that the Pwr OK indicator on each power module is off.
Step 4 Verify that the OK indicator on the fan tray is off.
Replacing the Chassis Air Filter
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers are equipped with user-replaceable air filters that help prevent dust
from being drawn into the router. One time per month (or more often in dusty environments), examine
the air filters for damage and cleanliness.
Note In the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Cisco ASR 9006 Router, and Cisco ASR 9904 Router, the chassis air
filter is not serviceable. We recommend that you replace the filter at regular maintenance intervals. The
interval may vary between 3 and 12 months depending on the environment.
Note In the Cisco ASR 9922 Router and Cisco ASR 9912 Router, the three air filters (left, center, and right)
contain foam media which filters the air going into the chassis. The three air filters can be removed from
the chassis so that the foam media (Cisco PIDs 9922-CEN-FLTRMED= and 9922-LR-FLTRMED=) can
be replaced on a regular maintenance interval. The interval may vary between 3 and 12 months
depending on the environment.
Caution Damage to the air filter can restrict the airflow, cause overheating in the router, and degrade
electromagnetic interference (EMI) compliance. Be careful when cleaning and replacing the filter.
Table 5-1 describes the air filter locations for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.

Removing and Replacing Power System Components
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers support OIR of power modules. If you are replacing a redundant
power module, you can remove and install the power module while the system remains powered on
without causing an electrical hazard or damage to the system. This feature enables you to replace a power
module while the system maintains all routing information and ensures session preservation.
However, to maintain operational redundancy and proper cooling, and to meet EMI compliance
standards, you must have at least one working power module installed (more than one for a fully
configured system). When you remove a failed power module with the router in operation, perform the
replacement as quickly as possible. Make sure you have the replacement power module ready before
beginning the removal and installation procedure.
Note For the RSP/RP to communicate properly to a power module in a power tray, input power to at least one
of the power modules in the power tray should be present.
This section contains procedures on how to remove and install AC and DC power modules used in the
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.
