You can upgrade the throughput of the ESP from 2.5 Gbps to 5 Gbps by applying a software-activated 
performance upgrade license and then reloading the router. If you want to determine the current 
throughput level of the ESP, run the show platform hardware throughput level command. The 
following example shows the output of this command before the performance upgrade license is applied:
Router# show platform hardware throughput level 
The current throughput level is 2500000 kb/s
The following example shows the output of this command after the performance upgrade license is 
applied:
Router# show platform hardware throughput level 
The current throughput level is 5000000 kb/s
For more information about the software-activated performance upgrade license, see the Cisco ASR 1000 
Series Aggregation Services Routers Release Notes at the following location:

Power Supplies in the Cisco ASR 1001 Router
The Cisco ASR 1001 Router power supply module supports the following Cisco power supplies:
• AC power supply operates between 85 to 264 VAC
• –48 VDC power supply input range supported is -40.5 to -72 VDC. 
The power supply generates +12 V and +5 V, which is distributed to the mainboard and fans. The +5 V 
is used to operate the power control devices. It also provides an operational +5 V, as needed.
The power supply units contain one or two fans that are only used for cooling the power supply. Each 
power supply is self contained and controls its own fan speed and fan redundancy. 
The power supplies are hot pluggable from the rear of the chassis and can be removed or installed while 
the system is operating, without affecting any aspect of system performance. The Cisco ASR 1001 
Router supports up to seven chassis-mounted cooling fans. Each fan provides an alarm output for error 
indication speed measurement. The fans are not field replaceable, but the system can meet the cooling 
requirements in the event of a single-fan failure.
