Preparing for Installation
Cisco ASR 9001 Router
The Cisco ASR 9001 Router is a compact high-capacity provider edge (PE) router that delivers 120
Gbps of non-blocking, full-duplex fabric capacity in a two-rack-unit (2RU) form factor. Similar to other
routers in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series, running Cisco IOS XR software images, the
Cisco ASR 9001 Router delivers the features and services found on the ASR 9000 Series platforms,
allowing customers to standardize on the same Cisco IOS XR image. The Cisco ASR 9001 Router has
an integrated route processor (RP) and two modular bays that support 1 GE and 10 GE modular port
adapters (MPAs). The base chassis has four integrated 10 GE enhanced small form-factor pluggable
(SFP+) ports, a GPS input for stratum-1 clocking, building integrated timing supply (BITS) ports, and
management ports. Figure 1-1 shows the front panel of the Cisco ASR 9001 Router.

Cisco ASR 9001-S Router
The Cisco ASR 9001-S Router is a 60 Gbps variant of the Cisco ASR 9001 Router. Similar to other
routers in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series, running Cisco IOS XR software images, the
Cisco ASR 9001-S Router delivers the features and services found on the ASR 9000 Series platforms,
allowing customers to standardize on the same Cisco IOS XR image. The Cisco ASR 9001-S Router
comes standard with one modular bay (BAY 0) that supports either a 1 GE, 10 GE, or 40 GE modular
port adapters (MPAs). The chassis also comes usable with two fixed SFP+ ports (SFP+0 and SFP+1).
The second MPA slot (BAY 1) and other two SFP+ ports (SFP+2 and SFP+3) are disabled and covered
with dust caps by default. It supports the same set of features and scaling for each NPU as does the
Cisco ASR 9001 Router. Figure 1-2 shows the front panel of the Cisco ASR 9001-S Router.
