Removing the Blank Faceplate from the Router’s SM Slot
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages
and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other
equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all
cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029
Danger
Before You Begin
Make sure that you connect the wrist-strap clip to an unpainted portion of the chassis frame to channel unwanted
ESD voltages to ground.

Prepare the router slot for E-Series Server or SM E-Series NCE installation. See the “Preparing the Router’s
SM Slot for E-Series Server or SM E-Series NCE Installation”.
Preparing the Router’s SM Slot for E-Series Server or SM E-Series NCE Installation
Several Cisco routers have flexible SM slots to support various Cisco server modules. Before installing the
E-Series Server or SM E-Series NCE into the router, prepare the router’s SM slot for the server’s particular
form factor.
Slot dividers are used on the following routers:
• Cisco 2921, and 2951 series ISR G2
• Cisco 3925, 3925e, 3945, and 3945e ISR G2
By default, the slot dividers are preinstalled in the router. Depending on the type of server that you want to
install, you must either install or remove the slot divider from the router.
