Note

The line card slots are dedicated to only line cards; RSP/RP/FC cards cannot occupy these slots. The RSP/RP/FC slots are dedicated to only RSP/RP/FC cards; line cards cannot occupy these slots. A keying mechanism keeps line cards from entering RSP/RP/FC slots and RSP/RP/FC cards from entering line card slots; the keying mechanism pins engage before the card alignment pins engage.

The following image shows how card interface cables are managed at the front of the Cisco ASR 9010 Router chassis using a cable management tray.

The Cisco ASR 9922 Router and Cisco ASR 9912 Router have a cable management tray located above the card cage and a cable management tray below the bottom card cage that do not interfere with the insertion or removal of cards. A hinged cover at the top of the tray can be raised for ease of access for routing cables.

Line cards and RSP/RP cards share the same cable management tray. Cables to a card must be disconnected before its removal (this does not affect adjacent cards). Removal of a line card or RSP/RP card does not require removal or adjustment of cables other than those associated with the card itself.

A cable management bend radius of 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) is accommodated. Line card slots at the extreme ends of the cable management trays use space outside of the chassis width to accommodate the 1.5-inch (3.81-cm) radii due to limited space per slot.

Space for the fiber bend radii and strain relief is 3.75 inches (9.53 cm) in front of the faceplate.

The following figure shows how the fiber and cables are routed upward away from slot number labels. Therefore slot number labels, located at the lower part of the card cage, are not obscured by the cables.

Power cables are located in the rear. The A and B source feeds to the DC power supply modules are separated so the cables route to opposite sides of the chassis. A cable tie down point is provided.

The following figure shows the DC power cable routing on the power trays.

All card slots are clearly numbered. Labels identifying slots are visible from the front of the chassis and are clearly numbered below each slot. As mentioned previously, fiber and cables are routed upward and do not obscure the slot ID labels.

The Route Switch Processor (RSP) card is the main control and switch fabric element in the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Cisco ASR 9006 Router, Cisco ASR 9904 Router, Cisco ASR 9906 Router, and Cisco ASR 9910 Router. To provide redundancy, there can be two RSP cards in each router, one as the active control RSP and the other as the standby RSP. The standby RSP takes over all control functions if the active RSP fails.

The Route Processor (RP) card is the main control element in the Cisco ASR 9922 Router and Cisco ASR 9912 Router. The RP card provides centralized chassis control, management, and data-plane switching. To provide redundancy, there are two RP cards in each router, one as the active control RP and the other as the standby RP. The standby RP takes over all control functions should the active RP fail.

System alarms reside on the RSP. Alarms consist of visual indicators with three levels: Critical (red), Major (red), and Minor (yellow for RSP, amber for RP). There is a console interface for remote viewing of alarms and fault information.

Caution

While performing a FPD upgrade of the ASR 9000 6kW AC Power Module Version 3 (PWR-6KW-AC-V3) and the ASR 9000 4.4kW DC Power Module Version 3 (PWR-4.4KW-DC-V3), ensure that you connect both input power cords to the power supply. If the power cords are not connected, the FPD upgrade for the power module will fail.
