You should install and cable VICs before performing the software configuration tasks explained later in this guide.
Warning Be sure to observe all warnings and safety precautions in the installation guide.
Caution VICs do not support online insertion and removal (hot swap). To avoid equipment damage, turn off electrical power and disconnect network cables before you insert a VIC in the router.
WIC and VIC Installation Procedure
Follow these steps, and refer to Figure 2 to insert a WIC or a VIC in the router:
Step 1 Make sure the router is turned off and is disconnected from the power supply.
Step 2 Loosen the thumbscrews on the WIC or VIC slot cover on the rear panel.
You should be able to loosen the screws using your fingers; however, if the screws are very tight, you might need to use a Phillips screwdriver.
Step 3 Remove the metal plate that covers the card slot.
Step 4 Hold the card by the edges on either side of the card front panel, and line up the card edges with the guides inside the card slot, as shown in Figure 2.
Step 5 Insert the card in the slot and gently push it into the router until the front panel of the card is flush with the rear panel of the router.
Step 6 Tighten the screws.
