Cisco ASR 1013 Router Power Zones

Internal fans draw cooling air into the chassis and across internal components to maintain an acceptable operating temperature. (See the preceding figure.) The fans are built into the power supply allowing fan and power supply replacement. A two-hole grounding lug is located on the bottom rear of the chassis (see the preceding figure, callout 6). Four power supplies, either AC power supplies or DC power supplies, are accessed from the rear of the router. The power supply bays are numbered from bottom to top: 0, 1, 2, and 3 respectively.

The Cisco ASR 1013 Router has two power zones:

  • Power zone 1(top half of chassis) includes slots:

    • PS1-A

    • PS1-B

    • Carrier card slots 3, 4, and 5

    • RP1

    • FP1

  • Power zone 0 (bottom half of chassis) includes slots:

    • PS0-A

    • PS0-B

    • Carrier card slots 0, 1, and 2

    • RP0

    • FP0

Note
Do not combine AC and DC power supplies in the same chassis.

Note

Note
You have already unpacked your chassis and read all the site requirements for your new equipment. Proceed with the installation.

Cisco ASR 1013 Router Slot Numbering

The Cisco ASR 1013 chassis has two Cisco ASR100-RP2 (R0, R1) slots, two embedded services processor slots (F0, F1) and six dedicated Cisco ASR1000-SIP slots (from bottom of chassis up, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 respectively).

The Cisco ASR 1013 Router is designed with each slot numbered as shown in the “Cisco ASR 1013 Router—Rear View” figure in the Rear View section.


Note
Cisco ASR 1013 slots are keyed using rotated guide pins for the plug-in card to be fully inserted in slots where they are intended to operate. This keyed feature prevents cards from being inserted into the wrong slots.

The Cisco ASR 1013 Router contains six SPA Interface Processor (SIPs) slots and supports four subslots for the installation of SPAs. The following shows the Cisco ASR 1013 Router SPA subslot location.

Figure 3. Cisco ASR 1013 Router—ASR1000-SIP Subslots

Installation Methods

One set of forward rack-mount brackets come pre-installed on the Cisco ASR 1013 Router as shown in the “Cisco ASR 1013 Router—Rear View” figure in the Rear View section, callout number 2. The accessory kit contains the rear rack-mount brackets as shown in the “Cisco ASR 1013 Router—Rear View” figure in the Rear View section, callout number 4, which are optional and another set of forward rack-mount brackets.

You can mount the chassis in a19-inch wide (standard), 4-post equipment rack or two-post, using the rack-mount brackets in the accessory kit. The Cisco ASR 1013 Router supports 6 SIPs and provides superslots (more height and power) for the Cisco ASR1000-RP2s and Cisco ASR1000-ESP cards.


Note
The Cisco ASR 1013 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:

  • T

    he Cisco ASR 1013 Router overall height is 22.75 inches (57.8 cm). You can install three Cisco ASR 1013 routers in a 42RU equipment rack; but must allow at least one to two inches (2.54 cm to 5.08 cm) of vertical clearance between the router and any equipment above or below it. 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 1013 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 1013 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 chassis.

In addition to the preceding guidelines, review the precautions for avoiding excessive temperature conditions in the “Electrical Safety” section on page 5-21 .

The following table provides the Cisco ASR 1013 Router dimensions and weight information.

      C power supplies —202 pounds (91.6256 kg)

    • DC power supplies—208.60 pounds (94.6193 kg)

Guidelines for Equipment Rack 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.

When installing the Cisco ASR 1013 Router, consider the following items:

  • The Cisco ASR 1013 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 1013 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.

  • Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 inches (7.62 cm) for the front and rear of the chassis for proper chassis cooling. 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.

  • If rack space allows, it is recommended to leave one rack unit (1.75 inch or 4.45 cm) of vertical clearance between the chassis and any equipment directly above it or below.


Caution

Depending on your installation and co-located equipment power dissipation, it is recommended to have some air gap between chassis, if space allows, to reduce residual heating from one chassis to another.

  • Have the cable-management bracket (used in four places on the Cisco ASR 1013 chassis: upper half, lower half, and left and right sides) 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 “Chassis-Lifting Guidelines” section on page 5-23 , when handling the chassis.

Attaching the Rear Rack-Mount Brackets

This section explains how to attach the rear rack-mount brackets to the chassis. Before installing the chassis in the rack, you must install the rack-mount brackets on each side of the chassis. The forward rack-mount brackets are already installed on the Cisco ASR 1013 chassis when it arrives at your site.

The parts and tools required for installing the rack-mount brackets and cable-management brackets are listed in the “Tools and Equipment” section on page 5-23 .


Note
The cable-management brackets are installed on the chassis after you install the chassis rack-mount brackets and mount the chassis in the rack.

If you are rack-mounting the chassis using the rear rack-mount brackets, then this type of installation provides for the chassis being recessed in the rack.

To install the rear rack-mount brackets on the Cisco ASR 1013 Router, perform the following steps:

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Locate the threaded holes on the rear side of the chassis. Make certain that you hold the rear t rack-mount bracket with the ear and holes facing outward and towards the rear of the chassis (see the following image, callout number 4).
  2. Position the rear rack-mount bracket top hole with the chassis second top hole from the back.
  3. Insert and tighten the screws on one side.
  4. After the bracket is secured to the side of the chassis, slide the two remaining components into the side rack-mount bracket.
  5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 on the other side of the chassis. Use all the screws to secure the rear rack-mount brackets to the chassis.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Locate the threaded holes on the rear side of the chassis. Make certain that you hold the rear t rack-mount bracket with the ear and holes facing outward and towards the rear of the chassis (see the following image, callout number 4).

Insert and tighten the screws on one side.

Step 4

After the bracket is secured to the side of the chassis, slide the two remaining components into the side rack-mount bracket.

Step 5

Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 on the other side of the chassis. Use all the screws to secure the rear rack-mount brackets to the chassis.

What to do next

This completes the steps for attaching the rear rack-mount brackets to the Cisco ASR 1013 Router.

Rack-Mounting the Cisco ASR 1013 Router

The Cisco ASR 1013 Router comes installed with front forward rack-mount brackets. The rear rack-mount brackets are optional and are shipped in the accessory kit along with a set of front rack-mount brackets. The chassis rack-mounting flanges must be secured directly to the chassis before you lift it into the rack.

This section includes the following topics:

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 the following image.

Figure 5. Verifying Equipment Rack Dimensions

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Mark and measure the distance between two holes on the left and right mounting rails.
  2. Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting flanges on the equipment rack.

DETAILED STEPS

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 17.25 inches (43.8 cm) wide and fits between the mounting posts on the rack.

Installing the Cisco ASR 1013 Router in a Rack

To mount the chassis in an equipment rack, you must secure the rack-mount brackets to two posts or mounting strips in the rack using the screws provided. Because the rack-mount brackets support the weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use all screws to fasten the two rack-mount brackets to the rack posts. You can install the Cisco ASR 1013 chassis in an equipment rack using the forward rack-mount brackets or rear rack-mount brackets.

You can perform one of the following procedures to install the chassis in a rack:

Installing the Chassis Using the Forward Rack-Mount Brackets


Caution

Before you mount the ASR 1013 Router in a rack, make certain you read which rack-mount bracket ear holes to use when positioning the chassis in the rack. As a result of using the designated ear holes on the rack-mount bracket, the cable-management bracket installation will be made easier. For cable-management installation instructions, see theAttaching the Cable-Management Bracket .

Determine where in the rack you want the chassis to be mounted. If you are mounting more than one chassis in the rack, then start from the bottom up or the center of the rack. The following image shows the brackets attached to the chassis. Depending on the bracket holes you use, the chassis may protrude in the rack.


Note
The forward rack-mount brackets on the Cisco ASR 1013 Router arrive installed on the chassis and a spare set is included in the accessory kit. However, if you want to install a forward rack-mount bracket on the chassis, then see the instructions in this section.

The following image shows the forward rack-mount brackets, callout number 2 and the rear rack-mount brackets, callout number 4, on the Cisco ASR 1013 Router.

What to do next

This completes the procedure for attaching a chassis ground connection. Go to the following cabling sections for information on attaching cables.

Connecting the Shared Port Adapter Cables

The instructions for connecting the cables for the shared port adapter installed in the Cisco ASR 1013 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

Shared port adapter documents are also available on the Cisco Documentation DVD.

Connecting the Console and Auxiliary Port Cables

The Cisco ASR 1013 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.

In a fully redundant chassis, each Cisco ASR1000-RP2 is separately connected to each FP and I/O card slot over separate point-to-point connections of the system interconnect over the midplane. The selection of the active RP2s is made separately from the selection of the active embedded services processor.

The following image shows the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor faceplate.

AUX connector

The Cisco ASR 1013 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.

For console and auxiliary port pinouts for the RJ-45 connector, see the “Cisco ASR 1000-RP1 Pinout Specifications” section on page B-1 . 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.

What to do next


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.

Connecting the Ethernet Management Port

When using the Fast Ethernet Management port (“Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor Faceplate Connectors” figure in the Connecting the Console and Auxiliary Port Cables section, callout 4) 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 or 100 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

Cisco ASR 1013 Router Power Supply Overview

This section provides information about the Cisco ASR 1013 power supply input requirements and power cable options.

The DC power supply for the Cisco ASR 1013, ASR 1006, ASR 1004, and ASR 1002 routers operate at individual specifications. The following table shows the common input ranges and circuit breaker requirements.

For example, the Cisco ASR 1002 Router DC power supply, with 16 Amp input rating must use an AWG #12 gauge wire for a 20 A circuit breaker and an AWG #10 gauge wire for a 30 A circuit breaker.

Power Cords Supported by the Cisco ASR 1013 Router

The following power cords are supported by the Cisco ASR 1013 Router:

  • CAB-AC20A-90L-IN—20 A AC right-angle power cord—International
  • CAB-4000W-US1—Power Cord, 250 VAC 20 A, Right Angle C19, NEMA 6-20 Plug, US
  • CAB-US520-C19-US—NEMA 5-15 to IEC-C19 14ft US

The Cisco ASR 1013 Router modular chassis supports redundant power entry modules (PEMs). At least one PEM in each 1+1 redundant power supply zone must be functioning to power the zone and both zones must be functional. In the event of a single fan failure, the remaining fans are sufficient to cool the entire chassis although fan speed may have to be increased.

The Cisco ASR 1013 Router system is configured in a dual zone 1+1 power supply configuration. For ASR 1013 router power consumption specifications, see the “Cisco ASR 1013 Router Specifications” section on page A-14 .

The following items list the maximum input and output of the system power consumption for the two power zones in the Cisco ASR 1013 Router:

  • Maximum input (DC): 4,200W
  • Maximum input (AC – High Line): 4,000 W
  • Maximum output (DC and AC – High Line): 3,390 W

Note
At least one power supply in each of the two power supply zones must be powered on before the software boots up. This prevents the route processor from detecting a power supply failure in a zone that is not being used to power the active route processor. If you plan to connect the four power supplies to two independent circuits for redundancy, you must ensure that a power supply from each power supply zone is connected to each circuit. PS0 and PS1 are in power supply zone 0, and PS2 and PS3 are in power supply zone 1. In this scenario, for example, PS0 and PS2 can be connected to one circuit and PS1 and PS3 can be connected to the other circuit. Alternatively, PS0 and PS3 can be connected to one circuit and PS1 and PS2 can be connected to the other circuit.

Note
Detailed instructions for removing and replacing the Cisco ASR 1000 Series AC and DC power supplies are in the “Removing and Replacing the Cisco ASR 1013 Router Power Supplies” section on page 14-93 .

Before you begin to install the DC power supply into the Cisco ASR 1013 Router, read these important notices:

  • The color coding of the DC input power supply leads depends on the color coding of the DC 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 DC input power supply matches lead color coding used at the DC power source.

  • For DC input power cables, select the appropriate wire gauge based on the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes for 40-amp service at nominal DC 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 straight tongue. They must be able to fit over 1/4-inch terminal studs at 0.625-inch (15.88-mm) centers.


Note
DC input power cables must be connected to the PDU terminal studs in the proper positive (+) and negative (–) polarity. In some cases, the DC 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 DC cable leads. When making the measurement, the positive (+) lead and the negative (–) lead must always match the (+) and (–) labels on the power distribution unit.

  • A ground cable is required for each DC 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 DC Input Power Cable Lug) and able to fit over M6 terminal studs at 0.625 inch (15.88mm) centers. Recommended lug terminal wire size Panduit part number:

    • LCD8-14A-L for 8AWG wire size

    • LCD6-14A-L for 6AWG wire size

Figure 15. DC Input Power Cable Lug

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

Warning

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

To connect the DC power supply, follow these steps:

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. Make certain that the chassis grounding is connected before you begin installing the DC power supply
  2. Locate the stud (see Cisco ASR 1013 Router DC Power Supply Grounding Stud and Cable, callout 6) on the DC power supply for the GND connection which must be connected first and follow these steps:
  3. Attach the other end of the cable to the site’s ground connection.
  4. Remove the plastic cover from the terminal block.
  5. You must wrap the positive and negative lead cables with sleeving. Take each lead wire and cover the area from the lug to the wire with heavy shrink sleeving (see the following the image).
  6. For easier cable-management, insert the negative lead cable first. Replace the ground lug with cable in the following order:
  7. Tighten the Kepnut screw to recommended torque of 18 in-lbs minimum to 22 in-lbs maximum for the positive stud and wire.
  8. Use tie wraps to secure the wires, so that the wires are not pulled from the terminal block by casual contact. Ti-wrap studs are located below the power supply terminal block (see the “Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor Console Port Connectors” figure in the Connecting a Terminal to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP Console Port section).
  9. Replace the terminal block plastic cover and tighten the screw. The plastic cover is slotted and keyed to fit correctly over the terminal block.
  10. Remove the tape from the circuit-breaker switch handle and move the circuit-breaker handle to the on position.
  11. Switch the circuit breaker switch to the On (|) position.

What to do next

This completes the procedure for connecting the DC power supply in the Cisco ASR 1013 Router.

Connecting a Terminal to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP Console Port

The Cisco ASR 1013 route processor has an asynchronous serial (EIA/TIA-232) RJ-45 console port labeled CON on its front panel as shown in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor Console Port Connectors, callout 5. 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 1013 Router. The console cable kit contains:

  • One RJ-45 to RJ-45 crossover cable

  • One RJ-45 to DB-25 (female) adapter

  • 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 must have a console port connection (typically to a terminal server) if you are running a redundant configuration in the chassis.

Users using the console port to access the router are automatically directed to the IOS command-line interface, by default.

If a user is trying to access the router through the console port and sends a break signal (a break signal can be sent by entering Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Shift-6, or by entering the send break command at the Telnet prompt) before connecting to the IOS command-line interface, the user is directed into diagnostic mode by default if the non-RPIOS sub-packages can be accessed.

These settings can be changed by configuring a transport map for the console port and applying that transport map to the console interface.

The following image shows the Cisco ASR 1000 Series route processor console port connectors.
