Cisco ASR1000X-FAN Full English Description

Product Overview

Important Note: Each ASR1006-X and ASR1009-X chassis requires multiple identical ASR1000X-FAN fan trays to achieve N+1 redundant cooling. OIR (Online Insertion and Removal) is supported under IOS XE with specified ambient temperature limits. All fan tray replacement must be completed within the chassis thermal protection timeout window to avoid emergency over-temperature shutdown. Standard ESD anti-static handling procedures must be followed during installation and removal. This fan traycannot be interchangedwith ASR1006-FAN, ASR1009-FAN or fan modules for original non-X ASR1000 routers, ASR9000 series routers, Nexus or Catalyst switches.

Key Features

1. Intelligent Variable-Speed Thermal Regulation

   The fan tray dynamically adjusts rotor rotational speed based on real-time internal chassis temperature, operating altitude and overall system thermal load. Fans operate at low RPM under light traffic loads to reduce power consumption and acoustic noise, and automatically accelerate to boost airflow when internal temperatures rise. All environmental telemetry data is uploaded to IOS XE for unified environmental monitoring.
2. Front-to-Rear Airflow Architecture

   Cool air enters from the front intake of the ASR1006-X / ASR1009-X chassis; hot exhaust air discharges toward the rear of the rack. Maintain sufficient unobstructed ventilation clearance at front and rear rack sides to avoid airflow blockage and prevent thermal hotspots.
3. OIR (Online Insertion and Removal) Support

   Field engineers can perform fan tray replacement while the router remains powered and forwards live network traffic. Operators must strictly comply with the official maintenance time limit to prevent triggering chassis thermal protection.
4. Visual Status LED & Remote Monitoring

   Front-panel status LED provides intuitive local status indication:

• Solid Green: All internal fan rotors operate normally
• Solid Amber/Red: Fan fault or over-temperature alarm triggered
  IOS XE generates syslog entries and sends SNMP traps to centralized monitoring platforms immediately once fan anomalies are detected.

1. Internal Fan Redundancy

   Multiple independent fan rotors are integrated within a single tray assembly. If a single rotor fails, remaining fans supply temporary partial cooling capacity. Administrators should arrange FRU replacement promptly to eliminate cooling vulnerability. The platform requires multiple operational fan trays to maintain full cooling redundancy.
2. Enterprise & Carrier-Grade Reliability

   Optimized industrial brushless DC fan assembly engineered for 24/7 continuous operation in service provider aggregation, internet peering, mobile backhaul and large enterprise core routing environments. Optimized cooling performance to support high-density 10G/100G EPA line cards of ASR1000-X platforms.
