Overview of the SM-X-NIM-ADPTR
The SM-X-NIM-ADPTR acts as a carrier card for the Cisco 4000 Series ISRs to carry one single-wide
or double-wide network interface module (NIM) to be used in the ISRs SM slot.
The SM-X-NIM-ADPTR converts the SM slot on the ISR to a NIM slot and facilitates the use of NIMs
such as the T1/E1 (Voice/Data), FXO/FXS, Switching, Serial, Storage Drives, Mobility (3G/4G), or
G.HDSL.
