Preface

CHAPTER 1
Preparing for Installation
This chapter provides preinstallation information, such as recommendations and requirements you should be
perform before installing your Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router.
The shipping package for the router is engineered to reduce the chances of product damage associated with
routine material handling experienced during shipment:
• Always transport or store the router in its shipping package in the upright position.
• Keep the router in the shipping container until you have determined the installation site.
Inspect all items for shipping damage. If an item appears damaged, contact a Cisco customer service
representative immediately.
•Safety Guidelines, on page 1
•Site Requirement Guidelines, on page 7
•RSP and RP Port Connection Guidelines, on page 47
Safety Guidelines
Before you perform any procedure in this guide, you must review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid
injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.
Note that this section contains guidelines and do not include every potentially hazardous situation. When you
install a router, always use common sense and caution.
General Safety Guidelines
• Never attempt to lift an object that might be too heavy for you to lift by yourself.
• Always disconnect the power source and unplug all power cables before lifting, moving, or working on
the router.
• Keep the work area clear and dust free during and after the installation.
• Keep tools and router components away from walkways and equipment rack aisles.
• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (including rings and chains), or other items that could get caught in
the router.
• Fasten your tie or scarf and sleeves.
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide
1

• Operate Cisco equipment safely by using it in accordance with its electrical ratings and product usage
instructions.
• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
• Always unplug the power cables when performing maintenance or working on the router, unless the
replacement part is hot swappable and designed for online insertion and removal (OIR).
• Ensure that the installation of the router is in compliance with national and local electrical codes: in the
United States, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, United States National Electrical Code;
in Canada, Canadian Electrical Code, part I, CSA C22.1; in other countries, International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) 364, part 1 through part 7.
Compliance and Safety Information
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers are designed to meet the regulatory compliance and safety approval
requirements. For detailed safety information, see: Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.
Laser Safety
Single-mode Cisco ASR 9000 Series line cards are equipped with lasers. The lasers emit invisible radiation.
Do not stare into open line card ports. Observe the following warning to prevent eye injury:
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is connected,
avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures. Statement 70
Warning
Energy Hazard
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers can be configured for a DC power source. Do not touch terminals while
they are live. Observe the following warning to prevent injury.
Hazardous voltage or energy may be present on power terminals. Always replace cover when terminals are
not in service. Be sure uninsulated conductors are not accessible when cover is in place. Statement 1086
Warning
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Many router components can be damaged by static electricity. Not exercising the proper electrostatic discharge
(ESD) precautions can result in intermittent or complete component failures. To minimize the potential for
ESD damage, always use an ESD-preventive antistatic wrist strap (or ankle strap) and ensure that it makes
good skin contact.
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide

Preparing for Installation
Compliance and Safety Information

Check the resistance value of the ESD-preventive strap periodically. The measurement should be between 1
and 10 megohms.
Note
Before you perform any of the procedures in this guide, attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist and
connect the leash to the chassis as shown in the figures below.
