Cisco ASR-9010-AC-V2 Aggregation Services Router

Eight line-card positions in the 9010 AC platform

Cisco ASR-9010-AC-V2 is the Version 2 AC chassis order for the ASR 9010. Its ten-slot arrangement comprises eight line-card positions and two RSP positions. Select this model for the required modular configuration; interface counts and forwarding capability come from the installed cards, not the chassis PID alone.

Build the AC feed plan around both power trays

The 9010 has two power trays. In the Version 2 design, each tray accommodates four power modules, for eight positions across the chassis. Confirm the actual AC module population, feed arrangement and redundancy requirement on the quotation. Maximum tray capacity is not a claim that all modules are supplied.

Allow for a 21RU installation with vertical cards

Cisco specifies a 21RU chassis with vertically oriented cards and front-to-back airflow. Two fan trays serve the platform. Check cabinet depth, service access, mounting equipment and cooling capacity before installation; the smaller 9006 rack footprint should not be used for this chassis.

Keep hardware generation and software choices aligned

Prepare an explicit list of RSPs, line cards, optics and power components for the intended IOS XR release. Verify compatibility and support entitlement for that list, including each component lifecycle. The AC-V2 designation identifies the power configuration; it does not grant a software license or guarantee that a newer line card works with an existing processor.
