Installing the Multi-rate Line card
The multi-rate WAN line card has two option slots available for WAN Interface Cards (WICs). One WIC card can be
installed into each available slot. You will need a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver and a small straight-blade screwdriver
to perform this procedure.
1.
Use the #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws that hold the option slot cover
plate in place.
2.
Save the option slot cover plate.
3.
Hold the WIC card by the edges and position it so that it is parallel with the slot opening.
4.
Insert the WIC card through the opening in the system unit by aligning the sides of the WIC card
with the card guide.
5.
Push the WIC card into the slot until the 80-pin connector is firmly seated in the connector at the
back of the option slot.
6.
Use the small straight-blade screwdriver to fasten the WIC card to the system unit with the two
captive screws.
