Description
Redundant Power Supply
The ASR5K-4OC3C-SM-K9 Cisco OLC2 4 Ports ATM STM Expansion Module is designed to be used with the Cisco ASR 5000 Series routers. It supports redundant power supply for high availability and reliability of network operations.
Redundant power supply is a feature that provides backup power in case of a failure of the primary power supply. In the case of the ASR5K-4OC3C-SM-K9 module, it has two power supply slots that can be filled with identical power supplies.
In the event of a failure of the primary power supply, the redundant power supply takes over to ensure uninterrupted network operations. This feature is critical in ensuring network availability, especially in critical applications such as financial services, healthcare, and emergency response services.
The redundant power supply feature of the ASR5K-4OC3C-SM-K9 module provides the following benefits:
- High availability: The redundant power supply ensures that the module and the router it is installed in continue to operate even in the event of a power supply failure, reducing downtime and ensuring network availability.
- Reliability: The redundant power supply feature improves the reliability of the network, ensuring that critical applications and services are not interrupted due to power supply failures.
- Scalability: The ASR5K-4OC3C-SM-K9 module’s redundant power supply feature allows for easy expansion of the network infrastructure as demand increases, without requiring significant changes to the existing setup.
- Cost-effectiveness: The redundant power supply feature provides a cost-effective solution for ensuring network availability and reliability, as it eliminates the need for costly backup power generators or uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.

Installation
Installing the ASR5K-4OC3C-SM-K9 Cisco OLC2 4 Ports ATM STM Expansion Module requires a few steps to ensure a successful installation. Here is a general guide to follow:
- Make sure that the router is powered off and unplugged before starting the installation.
- Remove the module from its packaging and verify that all the components are included. Check for any damage or defects.
- Identify an available slot on the router where the module will be installed. The ASR5K-4OC3C-SM-K9 module is designed to fit into an open line card slot on the Cisco ASR 5000 Series router.
- Remove the cover plate from the slot where the module will be installed. Keep the cover plate for future use.
- Align the module with the slot and gently slide it in until it snaps into place. Make sure that the module is fully seated and secured in the slot.
- Tighten the captive screws on the module to secure it in place.
- Connect the cables to the module. The ASR5K-4OC3C-SM-K9 module has four ports of OC-3c/STM-1c ATM connectivity, so ensure that the cables are connected to the correct ports.
- Power on the router and wait for it to boot up. The module should be automatically detected and configured by the router.
- Verify that the module is functioning correctly by checking the router’s interface status and using any relevant diagnostic tools.
- Finally, update the router’s software if necessary to ensure compatibility with the new module.
