Chapter 2 Installing Cisco Network Modules in Cisco Access Routers
Installing Cisco Network Modules in Cisco Access Routers
Summary of Installation Tasks
When installing a network module in a Cisco access router, perform the following tasks:
Installing and Removing Blank Faceplates
All empty chassis slots for network modules, extension voice modules, or interface cards must be
covered with blank faceplates to ensure proper cooling airflow and to prevent electromagnetic
interference.
Note
Blank network module faceplates are for single-wide network module slots only.
To install a blank faceplate over a network module slot set up for an extended single-wide, double-wide,
or extended double-wide network module, you must prepare the slot for single-wide network modules.
See
Table 2-3
and
Table 2-4
for information on preparing network module slots for different network
module form factors.
