Installing Cisco Interface Cards in Cisco Network Modules
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.
Some Cisco network modules have one or two interface card slots, which support a variety of voice and
data interface cards. To determine which interface cards are supported in your network module, see the

The following conditions apply to ISDN BRI and ISDN PRI network modules and interface cards:

To install an interface card in a 1- or 2-slot network module, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Turn off electrical power to the router. Leave the power cable plugged in to channel ESD voltages to
ground.
(For the Cisco MWR 1941-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.
The following warning applies to routers that use a DC power supply:
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

is on or network cables are connected. Statement 68
Remove all network cables, including telephone cables, from the router.
Step 2
To prevent damage to the interface card, turn off electrical power and disconnect network cables from

Do not install an ISDN BRI WAN interface card or an ISDN BRI network module in the same
chassis as an ISDN PRI network module unless you are using Cisco IOS Release 11.3(3)T or a later
release.
Do not install newer BRI WAN interface cards in the same network module as older BRI WAN
interface cards. To identify newer BRI WAN interface cards, examine the B-channel LEDs. Newer
BRI WAN interface cards have B-channel LEDs that are arranged horizontally. Older BRI WAN
interface cards have B-channel LEDs that are arranged vertically.
