When preparing your site for network connections to the Cisco ASR 903 Router, consider the type of cable required for each component, and the cable limitations. Consider the distance limitations for signaling, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and connector compatibility.
  • Page 86: Electromagnetic Interference

    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 87: Rack Selection 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 88: Locating For Safety

    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.
