Chapter 1 Overview and Physical Description

Management and Configuration

• The Cisco ASR 9010 Router chassis has a front-to-rear cooling path. The inlet is at the bottom front

of the chassis, and the exhaust is at the upper rear. Figure 2-64 shows the cooling path of the

Cisco ASR 9010 Router chassis.

• The Cisco ASR 9006 Router chassis has a side-to- top-to-rear cooling path. The inlet is at the right

side of the chassis, and the exhaust is at the upper rear. Figure 2-65 shows the cooling path of the

Cisco ASR 9006 Router chassis.

• The Cisco ASR 9904 Router has a side-to-side cooling path. Figure 2-66 shows the cooling path of

the Cisco ASR 9904 Router chassis. The inlet is at the right side of the chassis, and the exhaust is

at the left side.

If the router is installed in a 2-post 23-inch rack, air flow is circulated front-to-back. An optional air

baffle accessory kit (ASR-9904-BAFFLE=) is available for mounting the router chassis in this

configuration. For air baffle installation information, see:

• The cages of the Cisco ASR 9922 Router chassis have a front-to-rear cooling path. The inlet is at

the front of the middle cage, and the exhaust is at the upper and lower rear. Figure 2-67 shows the

cooling path of the Cisco ASR 9922 Router chassis.

• The Cisco ASR 9912 Router chassis has a front-to-rear cooling path. The inlet is at the front of the

RP/FC card cage, and the exhaust is at the upper rear. Figure 2-68 shows the cooling path of the

Cisco ASR 9912 Router chassis.

The Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Cisco ASR 9006 Router, and Cisco ASR 9912 Router contain two fan

trays for redundancy (see Figure 2-69, Figure 2-70, Figure 2-72). The Cisco ASR 9904 Router contains

a single fan tray for redundancy (see Figure 2-71). The Cisco ASR 9922 Router contains four fan trays

for redundancy (see Figure 2-72). The fan tray has an LED indicator to indicate fan tray status. If a fan

fails, it is possible to swap a single fan tray assembly while the system is operational. Fan tray removal

does not require removal of any cables.

Note Due to air leakage, the chassis should not be operated with any of the fan trays completely missing.

Replace any missing fan tray within five minutes. Any fan tray replacement should be performed when

the chassis is back to room temperature.

Management and Configuration

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers run IOS XR software and use the system manageability

architecture of that operating system. The system management interfaces consist of the following three

protocols running on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers:

• CLI—Command-line interface

• XML—Extensible Markup Language

• SNMP—Simple Network Management Protocol

By default, only CLI on the console is enabled.
