Connecting the 3G Card
Note For information on embedded multiband, multiservice WAN modems, see Configuring Cisco EHWIC
and 880G for 3G (EV-DO Rev A) and Configuring Cisco EHWIC and 880G for 3.7G (HSPA+)/3.5G
(HSPA).
Note The Cisco 880G router does not support online insertion and removal (OIR) of the 3G card. You must
enter the shutdown command on the cellular interface before you remove the 3G card from the router.
To connect and secure the 3G card, follow these steps:
Step1 Align the 3G card to the 3G express card slot, as shown in Figure3-13. Keep the card parallel to the
surface and firmly push the card into the slot.
Tip Holding the 3G card on the flat metal surface makes it easier to align and insert the 3G card.
Note When inserting the card into the 3G express card slot, you may hear a metal-on-metal sound as
the 3G card rubs against the internal metal cage. The 3G card is designed to fit tightly into the
3G express card slot. Firm pressure may be required to insert the card.
Note Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) customers need to insert a SIM card,
provided by their network carrier, into the 3G card.
