Chapter 9 Cisco ASR 1002-F Router Overview and Installation
Connecting a Terminal to the Cisco Integrated RP Console Port and Auxiliary Port
Note
Four power supplies must be installed in the chassis at all times, with a minimum of two power
supplies (one per zone) connected to the mains in order to power on the system and ensure
sufficient cooling. The system fans are inside the power supply units and must spin for cooling.
Because all the system fans can be powered by one power supply, the second power supply unit
does not have to be powered on, but must be connected.
Caution
If you remove a power supply from a system that has four power supplies that are connected and powered
on, the system can run only for a maximum of five minutes before shutting down. However, because the
fans and power elements are independent within the power supply, the replacement power supply does
not have to be energized within five minutes. The only requirement is that the power supply be installed
in the chassis in order to energize the fans and maintain proper system cooling.
Step 6
After tightening the receptacle screw for the ground, positive, and negative DC-input leads, use a cable
tie to secure the three leads to the power supply faceplate, as shown in
Figure 9-28
. When securing the
ground, positive, and negative DC-input leads to the power supply faceplate, leave a small service loop
in the ground lead to ensure that the ground lead is the last lead to disconnect from the power supply if
a great deal of strain is placed on all three leads.
Step 7
Connect the ground, positive, and negative leads to the power source.
Step 8
Turn the branch source breaker on at your site and place the DC Standby switch in the On (|) position.
Step 9
Check that the power supply LEDs light when power is supplied to the router.
This completes the procedure for connecting a DC power supply in the Cisco ASR 1002-F Router.
Connecting a Terminal to the Cisco Integrated RP Console Port
and Auxiliary Port
The Cisco integrated route processor has an asynchronous serial (EIA/TIA-232) RJ-45 console port
labeled CON on its front panel. 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 1002-F Router. The console cable kit
contains:
•
One RJ-45 to RJ-45 crossover cable
•
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 the integrated RP.
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.
