Electrical Circuit Requirements
Each Cisco ASR 1001-HX Router or Cisco ASR 1002-HX Router requires a dedicated electrical circuit. If
you equip it with dual-power feeds, you must provide a separate circuit for each power supply to avoid
compromising the power redundancy feature.
The Cisco ASR 1001-HX Router and Cisco ASR 1002-HX Router can be powered by a DC or AC source.
Ensure that equipment grounding is present and observe power-strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere
rating of all the products plugged into the power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the rating.
The Cisco ASR 1001-HX Router and Cisco ASR 1002-HX Router can support two AC or two DC power
supplies. Do not install mixed AC and DC power supply units in the same chassis.
