5 Installing WIC/VIC Cards
The router has four card slots that hold Cisco WICs and VICs. Either one or two WICs may be installed, with the remaining
slots holding VICs, as desired. If no WICs are present in the slots, up to four VICs may be installed. Each WIC has one or two
WAN ports, and each VIC has two or more voice ports. This section describes the procedure for installing a WIC or a VIC in
the router.
Note For details on specific WICs and VICs, on how to connect a WIC to the WAN line or a VIC to the telephone and fax
line, and on how to configure the interface with Cisco IOS software, refer to the Cisco WAN Interface Cards Hardware
Installation Guide that came with the cards.
Safety Information
This section lists safety warnings that you should be aware of before installing WICs or VICs in the router. To see translated
versions of these warnings, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 1700 Routers document
that came with the router.
Warning
Before working on a system that has an on/off switch, turn off the power and unplug the power cord.

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment.
Warning
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and

telephone-network voltages.
