Site Power Guidelines
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router installation must comply with all applicable codes and is approved for
Note
use with copper conductors only. The ground bond fastening hardware should be of compatible material
and preclude loosening, deterioration, and electrochemical corrosion of hardware and joined material.
Attachment of the chassis ground to a central office or other interior ground system must be made with
an AWG #6 gauge wire, copper ground conductor at a minimum.
Electrical Circuit Requirements
Each Cisco ASR 1001-X Router requires a dedicated electrical circuit. If you equip it with dual-power feeds,
you must provide a separate circuit for each power supply to avoid compromising the power redundancy
feature.
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router can be powered by a DC or AC source. Ensure that equipment grounding is
present and observe power-strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all the products plugged
into the power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the rating.
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router can support two AC or two DC power supplies. Do not install mixed AC
Note
and DC power supply units in the same chassis.
The below table contains specifications for DC-powered systems for the Cisco ASR 1001-X Routers.
