Proceed with hardware configuration tasks.

Removing Slot Dividers

Slot dividers are removed to permit use of double-wide E-Series Servers in modular router slots.

To remove slot dividers from module slots, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Remove any installed service modules, blank faceplates, and slot adapters from the router slot you plan

to use.

Step 2 Loosen the retention screw on the front of the slot divider.

Step 3 Pull the slot divider straight out of the module slot.

Step 4 Proceed with hardware configuration tasks.

Installing the E-Series Servers

Note For Cisco 3900 ISR G2—If you are using PoE, and you want to install one double-wide E-Series Server

and any number of server modules in a a Cisco 3900 ISR G2, you must use a second AC and PoE supply

to support this configuration.

For example, you have a Cisco 3900 ISR G2 that has a PoE capable switch providing power to phones,

and you want to install a double-wide E-Series Server in one slot and one or two single-wide servers in

the other slots, then you must use a second AC and PoE supply to support this configuration.

E-Series Servers can be installed either before or after mounting the router, whichever is more

convenient. To install a E-Series Server, follow these steps:

Step 1 Turn off electrical power to the router. Leave the power cable plugged in to channel ESD voltages to

ground.
