Cisco Systems ASR 1000 Series manual Connecting AC-Input Power to Cisco ASR 1006 Router

Chapter 4 Cisco ASR 1006 Router Overview and Installation

Connecting Power to Cisco ASR 1006 Router

The DC power supply for the Cisco ASR 1006, ASR 1004, and ASR 1002 routers operate at individual specifications. Table 4-2shows the common input ranges and circuit breaker requirements.

	Table 4-2	Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router DC Power Supply System Input Requirements
Cisco ASR 1000
Series Router DC
Power Supply	System Input Rating (Amps)		Circuit Breaker Amps			AWG # Wire
			Minimum	Maximum	Minimum		Maximum
Cisco ASR 1006	40		Always 50		Always AWG #6 wire
Cisco ASR 1004	24		30	40	10		8
Cisco ASR 1002	16		20	30	12		10

For example, the Cisco ASR 1002 Router DC power supply, with 16 Amp input rating must use an AWG #12 gauge wire for a 20Amp circuit breaker and an AWG #10 gauge wire for a 30Amp circuit breaker.

Note All Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router AC power supplies require a 20 AMP circuit breaker.

Note Detailed instructions for removing and replacing the Cisco ASR1000 Series AC and DC power supplies are in Removing and Replacing a Cisco ASR 1006 Router Power Supply, page 8-22 .

Connecting AC-Input Power to Cisco ASR 1006 Router

Follow these steps to connect an AC-input power supply to the Cisco 1006 chassis:

Step 1 At the rear of the chassis, check that the power switch on the power supply is in the Standby position.

Step 2 Plug the power cable into the inlet.

Note For additional AC power cable strain relief, secure the cable to the power supply handle by inserting a nylon cable tie through the hole in the handle and around the cable.
