Installing Cisco Network Modules in Cisco Access Routers
Step 4
(For certain Cisco routers) Prepare the slot for the network module form factor you are installing. (See
the
“Preparing Cisco Router Slots for Network Module Installation” section on page 2-8
.)
Step 5
Confirm that network module levers are in the open position away from the network module faceplate.
(See
Figure 2-11
.)

Ejector Levers
Timesaver
If the network module ejector levers are not in the open position during installation, the network module
does not seat properly and connections between the network module and the router backplane are not
made. Install the network module with the ejector levers in the open position.
Step 6
Align the network module with the guides in the chassis walls and slide it gently into the slot (see
Figure 2-12
). Once seated, the ejector levers close halfway.

Caution
The double-wide and extended double-wide network modules can be heavy. Avoid touching the network
module board to support the module. Handle the network module by the faceplate only to avoid damage
to board components.
