ASR 1006 Router, at least one PEM must be functioning. In the event that one of the fans fails, the remaining
fans are sufficient to cool the entire chassis. However, fan speed may have to be increased. For power
consumption specifications, see the “Cisco ASR 1006 Router Specifications” section on page A-1 .
At least one power supply must be powered on before the software is started.Note
All Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router AC power supplies must be connected to a branch circuit that does
not exceed 20 A.
