DI-3660 Router

Installing Network Modules

This section describes how to install WAN & Voice Network Modules in D-Link DI-3660 routers. Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power to the Router is OFF.

Caution:

Do not insert the module into any slot of the router when power is ON or network cables are connected.

To install a Network Module in D-Link DI-3660 router, follow these steps:

1.Power OFF the router.

2.To avoid ESD voltage damaging the equipment, channel the router body to ground.

3.Remove all network interface cables, including telephone cables, from the rear panel.

4.Use a flat-blade screwdriver to remove the blank filler panel from the slot where you plan to install the card. Save the filler panel for possible future use.

5. Align the module with the guides in the chassis and slide it gently into the slot as shown in the following figure.

6.Push the module into place until the edge connector is securely seated in the connector on the motherboard. Ensure that each of the module’s captive screws lines up with its corresponding hole in the chassis.

7.Secure the captive mounting screws into the holes of the chassis using a flat-blade screwdriver.

8.After completion of the hardware installation, begin the software configuration (refer Software Installation Guide).
