In order to achieve the full bandwidth of 120 Gbps and to enable the disabled ports, a Cisco license can be obtained. Once the license is obtained and installed, the Cisco ASR 9001-S Router must be reloaded to bring up the full 120 Gbps capacity. For information on configuring the Cisco license for

Cisco ASR 9001-S Router, see the Cisco ASR 9001-S 120G Upgrade License Configuration Guide.

Note The Cisco ASR 9001-S Router follows the same hardware installation procedure as the procedure for the Cisco ASR 9001 Router, described in this document.

This chapter guides you through the process of preparing for router installation.

Before installing your Cisco ASR 9001 Router, you must consider these requirements:

power and cabling requirements must be in place at your installation site

special equipment must be available for installing the router

the environmental conditions that your installation site must meet to maintain normal operation

The shipping package for the router is engineered to reduce chances of product damage that may result from routine material handling during shipment:

Keep the router in the shipping container until you have determined the installation site.

The router should always be transported or stored in its shipping package in the upright position.

Inspect all items for shipping damage. If an item appears damaged, contact a Cisco customer service representative immediately.
