Installing Network Modules in
Cisco Modular Routers
This chapter describes how to install network modules in Cisco modular routers, and
includes the following sections:
• Installing a Network Module in a Modular Router Chassis Slot on page 3-1
• Installing a WAN Interface Card in a Network Module Slot on page 3-3
Installing a Network Module in a Modular Router Chassis
Slot
The following instructions apply only to installing network modules in a modular router
chassis slot. To install a WAN interface card in a network module, see the “Installing a
WAN Interface Card in a Network Module Slot” section on page 3-3.
You can install network modules in the chassis either before or after mounting the router,
whichever is more convenient.
Follow this procedure to install a network module:
Step 1 Turn OFF electrical power to the router. However, to channel electrostatic
discharge (ESD) voltages to ground, do not unplug the power cable. Remove all
network interface cables, including telephone cables, from the rear panel.
Caution Network modules do not support online insertion and removal (hot swap). To
avoid damaging the module, before you insert a network module into a chassis slot, you
must turn OFF electrical power and disconnect network cables.
