Installation Methods

Although rack-mounting is the preferred method of installation for the Cisco ASR 1004 Router, you can mount the chassis:

  • On an equipment shelf or tabletop

  • In a19-inch wide (standard), 4-post equipment rack or two-post, using the rack-mount brackets in the accessory kit


Note
The Cisco ASR 1004 Router usually ships fully loaded. However, you can remove components from the chassis to make the chassis lighter for your rack installation.

General Rack Installation Guidelines

When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:

  • The Cisco ASR 1004 Router requires a minimum of 4 rack units (7 inches or 17.8 cm) of vertical rack space. Measure the proposed rack location before mounting the chassis in the rack.

  • Before using a particular rack, check for obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair rack-mount installation. If a power strip does impair a rack-mount installation, remove the power strip before installing the chassis, and then replace it after the chassis is installed.

  • Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. If the rack is mobile, you can push it back near a wall or cabinet for normal operation and pull it out for maintenance (installing or moving cards, connecting cables, or replacing or upgrading components). Otherwise, allow 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance to remove field-replaceable units.

  • Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 inches (7.62 cm) on the front, top, and sides of the chassis for the cooling air inlet and exhaust ports, respectively. Avoid placing the chassis in an overly congested rack or directly next to another equipment rack; otherwise, the heated exhaust air from other equipment can enter the inlet air vents and cause an overtemperature condition inside the router.


Caution

To prevent chassis overheating, never install a Cisco ASR 1004 Router in an enclosed room that is not properly ventilated or air conditioned.

  • Always install heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low center of gravity to prevent the rack from falling over.

  • Install and use the cable-management brackets included with the Cisco ASR 1004 Router to keep cables organized and out of the way of the cards and processors. Ensure that cables from other equipment already installed in the rack do not impair access to the cards or require you to disconnect cables unnecessarily to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades.

  • Install rack stabilizers (if available) before you mount the chassis.

  • Provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your router chassis.

In addition to the preceding guidelines, review the precautions for avoiding excessive temperature conditions in the “Site Environmental Requirements” section on page 5-9 .

The following table provides the Cisco ASR 1004 Router dimensions and weight information.

Guidelines for an Equipment Shelf or Tabletop Installation

The chassis should already be in the area where you will install it. If you have not determined where to install your chassis, see the “Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers Component Overview” section on page 2-1 for information about site considerations.

If you are not rack-mounting your Cisco ASR 1000 series chassis, place it on a sturdy equipment shelf or tabletop.

When installing the Cisco ASR 1004 Router on an equipment shelf or tabletop, ensure that the surface is clean and that you have considered the following:

  • The Cisco ASR 1004 Router requires at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust vents (the front and top/rear sides of the chassis).

  • The Cisco ASR 1004 Router should be installed off the floor. Dust that accumulates on the floor is drawn into the interior of the router by the cooling fans. Excessive dust inside the router can cause overtemperature conditions and component failures.

  • There must be approximately 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the chassis to install and replace FRUs, or to access network cables and equipment.

  • The Cisco ASR 1004 Router needs adequate ventilation. Do not install it in an enclosed cabinet where ventilation is inadequate.

  • Have the cable-management bracket available if you plan to install it on the front of the chassis.

  • An adequate chassis ground (earth) connection exists for your router chassis (see the Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection).

  • Always follow proper lifting practices as outlined in the “Electrical Safety” section on page 5-21 , when handling the chassis.

Equipment Shelf or Tabletop Installation


Note

At least two people are required to lift the chassis onto a tabletop or platform. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. Statement 164

Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection

Connecting the Cisco ASR 1004 Router chassis to ground is required for all DC powered installations and any AC powered installation where compliance with Telcordia grounding requirements is necessary.


Caution

The dual-lug chassis ground stud must be installed, the SIP and SPA must be fully inserted and screwed in and earthed to prevent a potential hazard in a telecom line.

Have the recommended tools and supplies available before you begin this procedure.


Warning

This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024

Before you connect power or turn on power to your chassis, you must provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for the chassis. A chassis ground connector is provided on each Cisco ASR 1004 Router. (See the image on the following section “Recommended Tools and Supplies.”) There is a grounding stud on the side of the chassis and on the –48 VDC power supply (primary grounding stud).


Caution

The grounding wire is always the first to be installed or connected and the last to be removed or disconnected.

Recommended Tools and Supplies

The following tools, equipment, and supplies necessary to connect the system ground to the chassis:

  • Phillips screwdriver

  • Dual-lug chassis ground component

What to do next

This completes the procedure for attaching a chassis ground connection. To continue, go to the Attaching the Cable-Management Bracket.

Attaching the Cable-Management Bracket

The cable-management brackets mount to each rack-mount bracket on the chassis to provide cable-management to both sides of the chassis (parallel with card orientation). These brackets are screw mounted to the rack-mount brackets to allow easy installation and removal of cables.

The cable-management brackets for the Cisco ASR 1004 Router contain three independent cable-management “U” type features with four screws and provides cable dressing of each card module slots. For Cisco ASR 1000 SIPs, these brackets work in tandem with shared port adapter product feature cable-management device to allow installation and removal of adjacent cards without the need to remove cables.


Note
Make certain that the cable-management bracket “U” type feature is facing upwards when you attach it to the chassis.

Follow these steps to attach the cable-management brackets to both sides of the Cisco ASR 1004 Router in the equipment rack:

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Align the cable-management bracket to the rack-mount bracket on one side of the Cisco ASR 1004 Router. The cable-management bracket aligns to the top hole of the chassis rack-mount bracket.
  2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, insert the screw through cable-management bracket and into the chassis rack-mount and tighten the screw.
  3. Using the bottom rack-mount ear hole, insert the screw through cable-management bracket and into the chassis rack-mount (see Chassis Rack-Mount Bracket Ear Holes for the Cable-Management Bracket).

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Align the cable-management bracket to the rack-mount bracket on one side of the Cisco ASR 1004 Router. The cable-management bracket aligns to the top hole of the chassis rack-mount bracket.

Step 2

Using a Phillips screwdriver, insert the screw through cable-management bracket and into the chassis rack-mount and tighten the screw.

The following image shows where to attach the cable-management brackets to the Cisco ASR 1004 Router in a rack.

What to do next

This completes the procedure for installing the cable-management brackets on the chassis in a rack.

Connecting the Shared Port Adapter Cables

The instructions for connecting the cables for the shared port adapter installed in the Cisco ASR 1004 Router are contained in the respective configuration documents for each port adapter. For example, if you are connecting the optical fiber cables for the PA-POS-OC3 port adapter, see PA-POS-OC3 Port Adapter Installation and Configuration at the following location:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/interfaces_modules/port_adapters/install_upgrade/pos/pa-pos-oc3_install_config/paposoc3.html

Connecting the Console and Auxiliary Port Cables

The Cisco ASR 1004 Router has a DCE-mode console port for connecting a console terminal and an auxiliary port for additional connections to your chassis. The auxiliary port can also be used for diagnostics. The following shows the CON and AUX ports on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series route processor.

1

Console port - CON

2

Auxiliary port - AUX

The Cisco ASR 1004 Router uses RJ-45 ports for both the auxiliary port and the console port. Both the console and the auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these ports must be capable of asynchronous transmission.


Note
A connection will not be established when setting up an out-of-band connection or modem connection in the auxiliary port and the console port.

For console and auxiliary port pinouts for the RJ-45 connector, see “Cisco ASR 1004 Router Specifications” section on page A-5 . Both ports are configured as asynchronous serial ports.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the chassis console port as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (9600 8N1).
  2. After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the chassis console port as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (9600 8N1).

Step 2

After you establish normal router operation, you can disconnect the terminal.

Connecting the Ethernet Management Port Cable

When using the Fast Ethernet Management port in the default mode (speed-auto and duplex-auto) the port operates in auto-MDI/MDI-X mode. The port automatically provides the correct signal connectivity through the Auto-MDI/MDI-X feature. The port automatically senses a crossover or straight-through cable and adapts to it.

However, when the Fast Ethernet Management port is configured to a fixed speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) through command-line interface (CLI) commands, the port is forced to MDI mode.

When in a fixed-speed configuration and MDI mode:

  • Use a crossover cable to connect to an MDI port
  • Use a straight-through cable to connect to an MDI-X port

The following figure shows the MGMT Ethernet port connector.

Before you begin, read these important notices:

  • The color coding of the –48 VDC input power supply leads depends on the color coding of the –48 VDC power source at your site. Typically, green or green/yellow is used for ground (GND), black is used for –48 V on negative (–) terminal and red is used for RTN on the positive (+) terminal. Make certain the lead color coding you choose for the –48 VDC input power supply matches lead color coding used at the –48 VDC power source.
  • For –48 VDC input power cables, select the appropriate wire gauge based on the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes for 60-amp service at nominal –48 VDC input voltage (–48/–60 VDC). Three pairs of cable leads, source DC (–) and source DC return (+), are required for each power distribution unit (PDU). These cables are available from any commercial cable vendor. All input power cables for the chassis should have the same wire gauge and cable lengths should match within 10 percent of deviation.

Each DC input power cable is terminated at the PDU by a cable lug. The cable lugs must be dual-hole, and have a 45-degree angle tongue. They must be able to fit over #10 power terminal stud.


Note
–48 VDC input power cables must be connected to the PDU terminal studs in the proper positive (+) and negative (–) polarity. In some cases, the –48 VDC cable leads are labeled, which is a relatively safe indication of the polarity. However, you must verify the polarity by measuring the voltage between the –48 VDC cable leads. When making the measurement, the positive (+) lead and the negative (–) lead must always match the (+) and (–) labels on the PDU.
  • A ground cable is required for each –48 VDC PDU. We recommend that you use at least 6-AWG multistrand copper wire. This wire is not available from Cisco Systems; it is available from any commercial cable vendor.

The ground wire cable lug should be dual-hole (as shown in Cisco ASR 1004 Router –48 VDC Power Supply Grounding Wire and Stud) and able to fit over M6 terminal studs at 0.625-inch (15.88-mm) centers. Recommended lug terminal wire size Panduit part number:

    • LCD8-14A-L for 8AWG wire size
    • LCD6-14A-L for 6AWG wire size

Note
To avoid hazardous conditions, all components in the area where –48 VDC input power is accessible must be properly insulated. Therefore, before installing the –48 VDC cable lugs, be sure to insulate the lugs according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

DANGER

When you install the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Statement 1046

What to do next

This completes the procedure for connecting the –48 VDC power supply in the Cisco ASR 1004 Router.

Connecting a Terminal to the Cisco ASR Series 1000 Route Processor Console Port

The Cisco ASR 1004 route processor has an asynchronous serial (EIA/TIA-232) RJ-45 console port labeled CON on its front panel. You can connect this port to most types of video terminals through use of the console cable kit that is included with your Cisco ASR 1004 Router. The console cable kit contains:

  • One RJ-45 to RJ-45 crossover cable

  • One RJ-45 to DB-9 (female) adapter

A crossover cable reverses pin connections from one end to the other. In other words, it connects pin 1 (at one end) to pin 8 (at the other end), pin 2 to pin 7, pin 3 to pin 6, and so on. You can identify a crossover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends in your hand, side-by-side, with the tabs at the back. Ensure that the wire connected to the outside (left) pin of the left plug (pin 1) is the same color as the wire connected to the outside (right) pin of the right plug (pin 8).

Use the following procedure to connect a video terminal to the console port on a route processor.


Note
Each Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor 1 must have a console port connection (typically to a terminal server) if you are running a redundant configuration in the chassis.

The following shows the route processor console port.
