Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation
Site Requirement Guidelines
Caution Each Cisco ASR 9001 Router is powered by only one type of input: AC or DC. A hybrid (AC+DC)
power configuration is not supported.
Caution Proper grounding is necessary to avoid damage from lightning and power surges. See the “NEBS
Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines” section on page 1-20 for grounding
requirements.

AC Powered Routers

AC power modules operate in the input range of 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz and require a
minimum service of:
15 A for operation in North America and Japan
10 A for international operation
13 A for operation in the UK
Each of the AC power inputs requires a separate dedicated branch circuit. For a list of the nominal and
acceptable value ranges for source AC power, see Table A-5.
Table 1-1 lists the AC-input power cord options, specifications, and Cisco product numbers for the
AC-input power supply modules. Table 1-1 also references power cord illustrations. For more
information on Cisco product numbers (PIDs) and their detailed description of power cords, refer to
Dynamic Configuration Tool.

AC Power Cord Illustrations

This section contains the AC power cord illustrations, as described in Table 1-1. Note that an AC power
cord may be used with several power supplies.
