Installation guide

Installing WAN and Voice Interface Cards in a Cisco Modular Router 2-3

Installing a Network Module in a Cisco 3600 Series or Cisco 2600 Series Router

Note Do not install an ISDN BRI WAN interface card or an ISDN BRI network module

in the same chassis as an ISDN PRI network module. This conﬁguration is not supported.

To install a network module in a Cisco 3600 series or Cisco 2600 series router:

Step 1 Power OFF the router. However, to channel ESD voltages to ground, do not

unplug the power cable. Remove all network interface cables, including

telephone cables, from the rear panel.

Step 2 Use a Phillips or ﬂat-blade screwdriver to remove the blank ﬁller panel from the

slot where you plan to install the module. Save the ﬁller panel for possible future

use.

Step 3 Align the module with the guides in the chassis and slide it gently into the slot.

(See Figure 2-1.)

Warning You can install modules in the chassis either before or after mounting the

router. If possible, install the modules with the router in the position that provides the best

access to the rear panel. You can install any module into any available slot in the chassis.

Caution Do not insert a module into a slot when power is ON or network cables are

connected.
