Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) 540 Router

Here's a link regarding the Cisco NCS 540 series routers and a link for the hardware installation guide. 

The NCS 540 1RU router have the interfaces and power supply in the front chassis.

It has dual power supply, out-out-band (OOB) MGMT port and console (CON) port.

The power uses an IEC C15 U-notch/kettle plug.


The NCS 540 interfaces are color coded: pink ports are 10G SFP+ (it can also support 1G), yellow ports are 25G SFP+ and green ports are 100G QSFP28.


There are 4 fans in the rear chassis.

It uses N540-RCKMT-19= mount kit/ear.


The NCS 540 uses the IOS-XR software and the bootup only took 2 minutes. The IOS-XR has a similar feel with Junos OS.
