Step 6
Using the faceplate, push the interface card into place until you feel the edge connector seat securely
into the connector on the router backplane. The interface card faceplate should contact the chassis rear
panel.
Caution
Do not connect cables to an interface card until you have installed it.
Step 7
Using a number 1 Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver, tighten the captive mounting screws on the interface
card faceplate.
Step 8
Proceed with connecting the interface card to the network and powering up the router.
Tip
See the
“Where to Go Next” section on page 27
for information on locating additional hardware
documentation.
Warning
After wiring the DC power supply, remove the tape from the circuit breaker switch handle and
reinstate power by moving the handle of the circuit breaker to the ON position.
Statement 8
Installing Double-Wide Interface Cards
Interface cards can be installed either before or after mounting the router, whichever is most convenient.
To install a double-wide interface card, follow these steps:
Step 1
Turn off electrical power to the router. Leave the power cable plugged in to channel ESD voltages to
ground.
Step 2
Remove all network cables, including telephone cables, from the router.
Caution
To prevent damage to the interface card, turn off electrical power and disconnect network cables from
the chassis before inserting an interface card into an installed network module or router slot.
