Replacing Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router
Components
The router is equipped as ordered and is ready for installation and startup when it is shipped. As network
requirements change, you may need to upgrade the system by adding or changing components. This chapter
describes how to maintain router components.

Field Replaceable Units

The backplane, midplane (only for Cisco ASR 9906 Router and Cisco ASR 9910 Router), PEM, and BPID
cards are not FRUs but are field serviceable.
Note
Online Insertion and Removal
Most Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers FRUs can be removed and replaced with the power on and the system
operating. This is known as online insertion and removal (OIR). Power modules, fan trays, Route Switch
Processor (RSP) cards, Route Processor (RP) cards, Fabric Controller (FC) cards, Line Cards (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.
Never unplug all the fan trays at the same time.
Caution
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.
Note
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.
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.
Note
Powering Off the Router
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.
Caution
If it becomes necessary to turn all power off to the router, follow these steps:

Online Insertion and Removal

Procedure
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.
In the Cisco ASR 9006 Router, Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Cisco ASR 9904 Router, Cisco ASR 9906 Router,
and Cisco ASR 9910 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.
Note
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.
Caution
This table describes the air filter locations for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.

Procedure
Step 1 For the Cisco ASR 9006 Router, Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Cisco ASR 9904 Router, Cisco ASR 9906 Router,
and Cisco ASR 9910 Router, choose the procedure for your router:
• For the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Cisco ASR 9906 Router, and Cisco ASR 9910 Router, remove the air
filter by simply sliding it out of the chassis.
If the accessory grill has been installed on the front of the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, remove it
from the front of the chassis by simply pulling on the grill until it comes loose. See the Installing
Base Chassis Accessories on the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, and Figure 2 for information about
the accessory grill.

• For the Cisco ASR 9006 Router and Cisco ASR 9904 Router, loosen the thumb screw that secures the
filter to the chassis, and then slide the air filter out of the chassis.

Step 2 For the Cisco ASR 9922 Router and Cisco ASR 9912 Router, remove the three air filters by pulling them off
the front of the chassis (Cisco ASR 9922 Router Chassis Air Filters) and (Cisco ASR 9912 Router Chassis
Air Filter ). Then, for each filter, loosen the thumb screws, rotate the inner frame out, and replace the foam
media (Removing the Cisco ASR 9922 Router Chassis Center Air Filter—Version 1 and Removing the Cisco
ASR 9922 Router Chassis Side Air Filter —Versions 1 and 2).
In the Cisco ASR 9922 Router (version 2 air filter) the center air filter, shown in Cisco ASR 9922
Router Chassis Center Air Filter—Version 2, does not contain replaceable foam media. The left
and right air filters are the same as version 1 and contain replaceable foam media.

Step 3 Visually check the condition of the air filter and/or its foam media to determine whether to install a new
replacement filter or foam media.
Step 4 Install the new air filter.
• For the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Cisco ASR 9906 Router, and Cisco ASR 9910 Router, slide the new
air filter into the air filter door (honeycomb side up).

Replacing the Chassis Air Filter

• For the Cisco ASR 9006 Router and Cisco ASR 9904 Router, tighten the thumb screw to secure the filter
to the chassis.
• For the Cisco ASR 9922 Router (version 1 air filter) and Cisco ASR 9912 Router, tighten the thumb
screws that attach the inner frame to the air filter and re-attach the three air filters to the front of the
chassis. For the Cisco ASR 9922 Router (version 2 air filter) tighten the thumb screws that attach the
inner frame to the left and right air filters only. Attach the new center air filter, with arrows pointing
upwards, and re-attach both side filters to the front of the chassis.
For the version 2 air filter on the Cisco ASR 9922 Router, the center does not have thumb screws
because it does not have replaceable foam media.
Note
Align and seat the door carefully to avoid damaging the EMI-preventive gaskets on the door. The
air filter door must be closed and secured at all times to maintain correct EMI performance.
Caution
Removing and Replacing the Fan Trays
Prerequisites
• For the Cisco ASR 9010 Router remove the accessory grill before removing and replacing the fan trays.
• For the Cisco ASR 9906 Router, Cisco ASR 9922 Router and Cisco ASR 9912 Router, remove the fan
tray cover before removing the fan trays for replacement.
Required Tools and Equipment
• 6-inch long number 2 Phillips screwdriver (torque 10 in-lb)
Removing a Fan Tray
Follow these steps to remove and replace the fan trays:
Never unplug all the fan trays at the same time.
Caution
Be sure that the fans have stopped running before removing the fan tray. The fans can take from 3 to 5 seconds
to completely stop running after disengaging the fan tray latch. Handling the fan tray before the fans have
stopped running could cause fingertip injury.
