Note Two power supplies must be installed in the chassis at all times to ensure sufficient cooling. The system fans are inside
the power supply units and must spin for cooling. Because all the system fans can be powered by one power supply, the
second power supply unit does not have to be powered on, but it must be installed.
Caution If you remove a power supply, the system can run for a maximum of five minutes before the system shuts down.
The fans and power elements are independent within the power supply. Therefore, it is not required that the
replacement power supply be energized within five minutes. The only requirement is that the power supply be
installed in the chassis, which energizes the fans and maintains proper system cooling.
Step 6 Grasping the power supply handles, pull the power supply from the chassis.
Step 7 Replace the AC power supply within five minutes or the system will shutdown.
You have removed an AC power supply from the Cisco ASR 1004 Router and now must replace the AC power supply within
