Network Interface Modules

To install the Cisco SM-X-1T3/E3 service modules on the router chassis, see the Installing Cisco Network Modules in Cisco Access Routers guide for installation instructions at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/interfaces/nm/hardware/installation/guide/InstNetM. html.

Cisco UCS E-Series Server Modules

The Cisco UCS E-Series Servers (E-Series Servers) are the next generation of Cisco UCS Express servers. E-Series Servers are a family of size, weight, and power efficient blade servers that are housed within the Generation 2 Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISR G2) and the Cisco 4451-X Integrated Services Router. These servers provide a general purpose compute platform for branch-office applications deployed either as bare-metal on operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows or Linux; or as virtual machines on hypervisors, such as VMware vSphere Hypervisor™, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Citrix XenServer.

Compact Flash

The Cisco ISR 4451-Xs use a USB to Compact Flash.

Note Do not run the router without a Compact Flash card installed. Cisco IOS-XE will not come up without a compact flash card in the router.

Solid State Drives

The NIM slot 3 in the Cisco ISR 4451-X supports a field-replaceable solid state drive module with a dual-SSD SATA slot.

The SSD slot is always powered up. The SSDs are hot-swappable as part of normal operation. See the “Overview of the SSD Carrier Card NIM (NIM-SSD), page 6-6” section for more information.
