  • Page 73: Asynchronous Terminal Connections

    The typical sources of EMI are equipment power cords and power service cables from electric utility companies. Strong EMI can destroy the signal drivers and receivers in the Cisco ASR 903 Router and even create an electrical hazard by causing power surges through the power lines into installed equipment. These problems are rare but could be catastrophic.

  • Page 74: Rack-Mounting Guidelines

    • Do not step on or stand on any component or system when servicing other systems or components in a rack. • When mounting the Cisco ASR 903 Router in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

  • Page 75: Equipment Rack Guidelines

    Locating for Safety If the Cisco ASR 903 Router is the heaviest or the only piece of equipment in the rack, consider installing it at or near the bottom to ensure that the rack’s center of gravity is as low as possible.

Follow these steps to install the fan tray in the chassis: Step 1 Orient the fan tray so that the captive screws are on the left side of the fan tray’s front panel.

  • Page 97: Removing The Dust Filter

    Removing and Replacing the Fan Tray The fan tray supports online insertion and removal (OIR). There is no need to power down the Cisco ASR 903 Router to remove or replace the fan tray. However, there is a finite time to replace the fan tray. This time depends upon the specific RSP and fan tray combination and also the ambient temperature.
  • Page 98 To avoid erroneous failure messages, allow at least 2 minutes for the system to reinitialize, after the fan tray has been removed or replaced. This is applicable when the RSP1 and RSP2 modules are installed in the chassis. Follow these steps to remove and replace the fan tray on the Cisco ASR 903 Router: Step 1 Using a No.
