Preparing For Installation; Safety Guidelines - Cisco ASR 9001 Installation Manual

Preparing for Installation

The Cisco ASR 9001 Router is a compact high-capacity provider edge (PE) router that delivers 120 Gbps
of non-blocking, full-duplex fabric capacity in a two-rack-unit (2RU) form factor. Based on the Cisco
IOS XR software image, like other routers in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series, the Cisco ASR 9001 Router
delivers the features and services found on the ASR 9000 Series platforms, allowing customers to
standardize on the same Cisco IOS XR image. The Cisco ASR 9001 Router has an integrated route
processor (RP) and two modular bays that support 1 GE and 10 GE modular port adapters (MPAs). The
base chassis has four integrated 10 GE enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) ports, a GPS input
for stratum-1 clocking, building integrated timing supply (BITS) ports, and management ports. This
chapter guides you through the process of preparing for router installation.
