A-4. Power Supply The Cisco ASR 901 10G router is equipped with an internal -24/-60 Volts Direct Current (VDC). The router is provided with a single AC power supply or DC (1+1 Redundant) power supply. The power input connectors are located at the front left-side side of the router. The DC power connector has the standard A and B feeds for DC redundancy.
Page 16
The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring. Table 1-1 lists the DC power supply specifications for the Cisco ASR 901 10G router. Table 1-1 Cisco ASR 901 10G Router DC Power Supply Specifications...

1A at 100 VAC and 60 Hz. The Cisco ASR 901 10G router uses two 3-pin connectors (part number 27-1892-01) for DC input to the power supply. The terminal block is part of the accessory kit (part number 53-3438-01), which ships with the Cisco ASR 901 10G router.
Chassis Ground Environmental Monitoring Temperature Sensor The Cisco ASR 901 10G router has a temperature sensor to detect overtemperature conditions inside the chassis. The overtemperature detection trips at 70°C. This condition is reported to the processor as an interrupt, where the software generates the appropriate alarms. If the router reaches a temperature of 90°C, the power supply cycles itself to prevent the router from exceeding the maximum temperature...
