Cisco ASR5K-PSC-64G-K9 ASR 5000 PSC3 64 GB Packet Services Card

Exact 64 GB PSC3 application card

ASR5K-PSC-64G-K9 is identified in Cisco's lifecycle table as a Packet Services Card 3 (PSC3) with 64 GB. The installation guide separately lists the same PID among the ASR 5000 full-height application cards.

Slot and redundancy planning

This is a processing card, not a switch-processor I/O or timing card. Confirm the chassis slot plan, installed PSC generation, redundancy design, software release and service configuration before accepting it as a replacement. The exact PID should be checked on the physical label.

Lifecycle boundary

The affected ASR 5000 hardware reached end of sale on January 30, 2016 and Cisco's last date of support was January 31, 2021. Cisco's notice points customers toward later VPC platform choices and states that ASR 5000 software support was limited to release 21.5 in this migration context.
