  • Page 2: Quick Start Guide

    Overview The Cisco ASR 903 and the Cisco ASR903U routers expands the Cisco service provider product portfolio by providing a rich and scalable feature set of Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) and Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) services in a compact package. It also supports a variety of software features, including Carrier Ethernet features, Timing over Packet, and pseudowire.
  • Page 3: Power Supply Features

    Dying Gasp The Cisco ASR 903 Router DC power supply supports the Dying Gasp feature, which allows the router to provide an input power loss notification to the RSP so that the RSP can send appropriate SNMP traps or OAM messages and update log files on the router.
  • Page 4: Rsp Modules

    RSP Modules The Cisco ASR 903 Router is designed to use up to two RSP modules to handle the data plane, network timing, and control plane functionalities for the router. The RSP configuration allows you to use Cisco IOS software to control chassis management, redundancy, external management, and system status indications on the router.
  • Page 5: Gnss Module (A900-Cm-Gnss)

    RSP Redundancy The Cisco ASR 903 Router chassis includes two RSP slots to allow for redundant RSPs. When the router uses redundant RSPs, one RSP operates in the active mode and the other operates in the hot standby mode. Removal or failure of the active RSP results in an automatic switchover to the standby RSP.
  • Page 6: Interface Modules

    The splitter should have all the RF ports capable of DC-pass, if the antenna needs to feed power from Note GNSS module. Interface Modules The Cisco ASR 903 Router interface modules are a field-replaceable units. In addition to the ports provided on an RSP, the Cisco ASR 903 Router supports the following interface modules:...

    The figure below shows how to attach the brackets on the Cisco ASR 903 Router for a 300 mm ETSI cabinet. Figure 3: Attaching Mounting Brackets for a 300 mm ETSI Cabinet Step 2 Position one of the brackets against the chassis side, and align the screw holes.
  • Page 9: Installing The Chassis Ground Connection

    Use a tape measure and level to verify that the chassis is installed straight and level. Installing the Chassis Ground Connection Before you connect the power or turn on the power to the Cisco ASR 903 Router, you must provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection to your router.
  • Page 10 Grounding lug (19-inch EIA rack) Before making connections to the router, ensure that you disconnect the power at the circuit breaker. Caution Otherwise, severe injury to you or damage to the router may occur. This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the Warning absence of a suitably installed ground conductor.

  • Page 15: Installing The Dc Power Supply Module

    ◦ 900 W DC power: –40VDC to –72VDC The DC power supply provides option to connect with two different sources (dual feed); positive (+) and negative (-) are marked on the PSU terminals. Each power supply provides a dual primary input power connection. Caution The power supply must be wired before plugging the power supply in the chassis.
  • Page 16 Step 1 Ensure that the system (earth) ground connection has been made. For ground connection installation instructions, see Installing the Chassis Ground Connection section in the Cisco ASR 903 and ASR 903U Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide. Step 2 If necessary, remove the blank power supply filler plate from the chassis power supply bay opening by loosening the captive installation screws.
