5Installing Interface Cards
This section describes how to install single-wide and double-wide interface cards and how to install interface cards in network modules.
Installing Single-Wide Interface Cards
Caution WAN interface cards and voice interface cards are not interchangeable. Voice interface cards cannot be installed in a WAN interface card slot or a two-slot WAN network
module, and WAN interface cards cannot be installed in voice network modules. To
prevent damage to the card, confirm that the slot or network module you intend to use
supports the kind of interface card you intend to install.
Interface cards can be installed either before or after mounting the router, whichever is most convenient. To install a single-wide interface card, follow these steps:
Step1Turn off electrical power to the router. Leave the power cable plugged in to channel ESD voltages to ground.
(For the Cisco MWR1941-DC router)Turn off power by turning the DC power source circuit breaker to OFF. Tape the circuit breaker in the OFF position. To channel ESD voltages to
ground, do not remove the wire from the ground lug.
Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel
board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and
tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.Statement 7
Step2Remove 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.
