Cisco 3800 Series Features  Cisco 3825  Cisco 3845 
NME Support  Network Module  Network Module 
Each Cisco 3800 Series network module slot can accommodate standard network modules, enhanced 
network modules (NME), high-density voice/fax extension module (EVM-HD), or enhanced extended 
network module (NME-X). NMEs have the same form factor as the standard network modules. When 
available, the NME-X will have a wider form factor then the NME. Two side-by-side NME slots can be 
combined to accommodate one double-wide network module (NMD) or, when available, a double-wide 
NME-X (NME-XD). 
Note: The top slot (Slot 2) of the Cisco 3825 can seat one network module, NME, NME-X, EVM-HD, 
NMD, or NME-XD.

HWIC Slots 
Each model can accommodate HWICs. These HWIC slots also support WICs, VICs, and voice and WAN 
interface cards (VWICs). Two side-by-side HWIC slots can be substituted to seat one double-wide HWIC 
(HWIC-D).

Q.  Which network modules and HWICs/WICs/VICs does the Cisco 3800 Series support? 
A.  The Cisco 3800 Series provides support for more than 80 percent of the current network modules, WICs, VICs, and AIMs currently supported 
on the Cisco 3700 Series. Table 21 in the Appendix lists supported interfaces on the Cisco 3800 Series.
