Installing Slot Dividers in Network Module Slots
In a Cisco 2851 router, you can install a slot divider in the network module slot to reduce the slot width
from extended double-wide to extended single-wide. Use of a slot divider alone (without a filler panel)
creates a slot width suitable for an enhanced extended single-wide (NME-X) network module. Use of a
slot divider with a filler panel creates a slot width suitable for an enhanced single-wide (NME) or older
version (NM) single-wide network module.
Figure 1 shows a slot divider with captive screw for the network module slot in Cisco 2851 routers.
Figure1 Slot Divider for Network Module Slots
Install slot dividers into network module slots as follows:
Step1 Insert the top rails of the slot divider between the two guide rails in the top of the network module slot.
See Figure 2.

Step2 Push the slot divider in until it is fully seated.
Step3 Tighten the retention screw on the front of the slot divider with a number 1 Phillips screwdriver. See
Figure 3. When the slot divider is fully inserted, its front surface is flush with the panel of the router. See
Figure 4.
