Hardware Features
5. Uses Cisco Redundant Power System 2300 as 100% power boost. Internal power supply does not supply any boost. In this configuration there is no POE
redundancy.

Module and Router Power Consumption

Cisco 2900 series and Cisco 3900 series ISRs have energy efficiency features that reduce power
consumption. Some of the energy efficiency features are controlled by the hardware, whereas other
energy efficiency features are controlled by the software.

Fans, Ventilation, and Airflow

The Cisco 2911 and Cisco 3900 series ISRs have optional fan filters that are easy to replace. The filters
may be used to meet Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) requirements, or to operate in dusty
environments. When a filter becomes dirty, discard it and replace it with a new one. See the
a Fan Tray or Air Filter" section on page
Fan speeds are controlled by the fan speed controller circuitry. To minimize noise, the fans operate at
one of several predetermined speeds and are dependent on the input ambient air temperature.
