Chapter 1 Overview of Cisco Interface Cards
Cisco 3600 Series Routers
For the Cisco 3620 and Cisco 3640 routers shown in Figure 1-5 and Figure 1-6,
the slots are numbered as follows:
• Slot 0 is at the bottom right (as viewed from the rear of the chassis), near the
power supply.
• Slot 1 is at the bottom left.
• Slot 2 is at the top right, above slot 0.
• Slot 3 is at the top left, above slot 1.
Some modules have two small slots, labeled W0 and W1, for interface cards.
Figure 1-7 shows the W0 and W1 slots of the 2-Ethernet 2-card slot (2E 2-slot)
module. You can install interface cards into the small module slots, and serial
interface cards can be installed into either slot W0 or W1.

Unit Numbering
Cisco 3600 series routers have unit numbers that identify the interfaces on the
modules and interface cards installed in the router. Unit numbers begin at 0 for
each interface type, and continue from right to left and (if necessary) from bottom
to top. Modules and interface cards are identified by interface type, slot number,
followed by a forward slash (/), and then the unit number; for example,
Ethernet 0/0.
Note In the Cisco 3660 router, the fixed Fast Ethernet ports are located in chassis slot 0
and are identified by interface type chassis slot/unit number; for example,
Fast Ethernet 0/0.
