B E TA D R A F T - C I S C O C O N F I D E N T I A L Fan Tray (A903-FAN) The Cisco ASR 903 router uses a modular fan tray that is separate from the power supply. The fan tray contains twelve fans and provides sufficient capacity to maintain operation indefinitely in the event of an individual fan failure.
A-2). RSP Modules The Cisco ASR 903 router is designed to use up to two RSP modules to handle the data plane, network timing, and control plane functionalities for the router. The RSP configuration allows you to use Cisco IOS software to control chassis management, redundancy, external management, and system status indications on the router.
Field replacement and hot-swap capabilities RSP Redundancy The Cisco ASR 903 router chassis includes two RSP slots to allow for redundant RSPs. When the router uses redundant RSPs, one RSP operates in the active mode and the other operates in the hot standby mode.

Site Planning Air Flow Guidelines Cool air is circulated through the Cisco ASR 903 Router by a fan tray located along the right side of the router. Air flow is side-to-side, right to left, as shown in “Cisco ASR 903 Router Chassis Air Flow”.
Air Flow Guidelines for Enclosed Rack Installation To install a Cisco ASR 903 Router in a 4-post enclosed cabinet, the front and rear doors of the cabinet must be removed or be perforated with a minimum of 65% open area (70% for ETSI 800mm racks).
The Cisco ASR 903 Routers can be powered by a DC source or an AC source. Ensure that equipment grounding is present and observe the power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the power strip does not exceed 80% of the rating.
Strong EMI can destroy the signal drivers and receivers in the Cisco ASR 903 Router and even create an electrical hazard by causing power surges through the power lines into installed equipment. These problems are rare but could be catastrophic.
Do not step on or stand on any component or system when servicing other systems or components • in a rack. When mounting the Cisco ASR 903 Router in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom • to the top, with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
Locating for Safety If the Cisco ASR 903 Router is the heaviest or the only piece of equipment in the rack, consider installing it at or near the bottom to ensure that the rack’s center of gravity is as low as possible.
Page 51
Locating for Proper Airflow Ensure that the Cisco ASR 903 Router location has enough airflow to keep the system operating within the environmental characteristics and the air temperature is sufficient to compensate for the heat dissipated by the system.
Site Planning Installation Checklist To assist you with your installation and to provide a record of what was done by whom and when, photocopy the Cisco ASR 903 Router Installation Checklist shown in Table 2-1. Use this to record the completion and verification of each procedure.

Installing the Chassis Ground Connection Installing the Chassis Ground Connection Before you connect the power or turn on the power to the Cisco ASR 903 Router, you must provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection to your router. This section describes how to ground the Cisco ASR 903 Router chassis. The router provides two locations for attaching a 2-hole grounding lug according to the rack-mounting brackets you use to install the router.
Page 64
This unit is to be installed in a restrictive access location and must be permanently grounded to minimum 6 AWG copper ground wire. Perform the following procedure to ground the Cisco ASR 903 Router using a 2-hole lug and the corresponding mounting point. Most carriers require a minimum 6 AWG ground connection. Verify your carrier’s requirements for the ground connection.
