Cisco ASR 1001 Router Description
Cisco Embedded ASR1000-SIP10 and SPAs for the Cisco ASR 1001 Router Description
The Cisco embedded ASR1000-SIP10 is built into the Cisco ASR 1001 Router. The Cisco embedded 
ASR1000-SIP10 provides the physical and electrical termination for up to three SPAs, built-in 4xGE 
SPA, one half-height SPA bay, and one integrated daughter card (system configurable).
The Cisco embedded ASR1000-SIP10 interface, like the Cisco ASR 1006 Router and Cisco ASR 1004 
Router, supports all Cisco embedded ASR1000-SIP10 functions and services. However, the Cisco 
embedded ASR1000-SIP10 differs in the following areas:
• Functions as the base board for Cisco embedded ASR1000-RP1
• Is not a field-replaceable unit (FRU) and does not support online insertion and removal (OIR).
Note Only the shared port adapter (SPA) on the Cisco embedded ASR1000-SIP10 in SPA Bay 1 
of the Cisco ASR 1001 Router supports OIR.
The Cisco ASR 1001 Router embedded ASR1000-RP1 also provides the circuitry for the built-in 4xGE 
SPA. Table 12-2 describes the built-in SPA LEDs.
Cisco ASR 1001 Router Integrated Daughter Card Description
The ASR 1001 Router supports different flexible integrated daughter cards with their own LEDs. Four 
of these integrated daughter cards are based on SPAs and use the same external I/O ports as those SPAs. 
One of the integrated daughter cards supports a single hard-disk-drive for other applications.
Table 12-3 describes the built-in SPA LEDs.
Cisco ASR1000-ESP for the Cisco ASR 1001 Router Description
The Cisco ASR 1001 Router supports the Cisco ASR1000-ESP2.5 and Cisco ASR1000-ESP5 (with 
license) embedded services processors. 
Table 12-4 describes the Cisco ASR 1001 LEDs.

GE SFP STATUS 
(one per port)
Amber Indicates that the port is enabled by software, but there is a 
problem with the Ethernet link.
Green Indicates that the port is enabled by software and there is a 
valid Ethernet link.

Daughter Card Port 
Status (one per port)
Amber Amber indicates the port is enabled by software, but there 
is a problem with a port connection. 
Green Green indicates the port is enabled by software and 
operational.
