Chapter 4 Installing a Network Module or Interface Card
Note
Voice interface cards must be installed in a voice network module. Voice network module slots are
numbered V0 and V1 from right to left on the router chassis.
The following tools are required or recommended for this task:
•
ESD-preventive wrist strap
•
Number 1 Phillips screwdriver
•
Duct or electrical tape (for routers using a DC power supply only)
Step 1
Turn OFF electrical power to the router and unplug the AC power cord. If the router uses a DC power
supply, remove power from the DC circuit with the following steps:
a.
Locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit.
b.
Switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position.
c.
Tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.
Step 2
Remove all network cables, including telephone cables, from the rear panel of the router.
Step 3
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap before handling the card, and connect the wrist strap to an
electrical ground.
Step 4
Using a number 1 Phillips screwdriver, remove the blank filler panel from the voice module slot in the
voice network module. Save the blank filler panel for future use.
Caution
Do NOT install voice interface cards in a WAN interface card slot or in a two-slot network module.
Step 5
Align the card with the guides in the module slot and gently slide it in.
Step 6
Push the card into place until the edge connector is seated in the connector on the module.
Step 7
Using a number 1 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the captive mounting screws.
Step 8
Plug in the network interface cables and turn ON power to the router. For a router using a DC power
supply, remove the tape from the circuit breaker and turn the circuit breaker to the ON position.
