Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this
equipment. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and
Safety Information document that accompanied the router.)
Warning Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on
AC units; disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units. (To see translated versions of this
warning,refertotheRegulatoryComplianceandSafetyInformationdocumentthataccompaniedthe
router.)
Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and
regulations. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and
Safety Information document that accompanied the router.)
Caution To avoid damaging electrostatic discharge (ESD)-sensitive components, ensure that you
have discharged all static electricity from your body before opening the chassis. Before performing
procedures described in this document, review the next section, “Safety Recommendations.”
Safety Recommendations
Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:
•Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and after installation.
•Put the removed chassis cover in a safe place.
•Keep tools away from walk areas where you or others could fall over them.
•Do not wear loose clothing that could get caught in the chassis. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll
up your sleeves.
•Wear safety glasses when working under any conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
•Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment
unsafe.
Warning The ISDN connection is regarded as a source of voltage that should be inaccessible to
user contact. Do not attempt to tamper with or open any public telephone operator (PTO)-provided
equipment or connection hardware. Any hardwired connection (other than by a nonremovable,
connect-one-time-only plug) must be made only by PTO staff or suitably trained engineers. (To see
translated versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information
document that accompanied the router.)

1-Port and 2-Port ISDN-PRI Network Module Configuration Note 5
Safety Recommendations
Warning Network hazardous voltages are present in the BRI cable. If you detach the BRI cable,
detach the end away from the router first to avoid possible electric shock. Network hazardous
voltages also are present on the system card in the area of the BRI port (RJ-45 connector), regardless
of when power is turned off. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory
Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied the router.)
Warning The Ethernet 10BaseT, Token Ring, serial, console, and auxiliary ports contain safety
extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. BRI circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage (TNV)
circuits. Avoid connecting SELV circuits to TNV circuits. (To see translated versions of this
warning,refertotheRegulatoryComplianceandSafetyInformationdocumentthataccompaniedthe
router.)
Safety with Electricity
Warning Before workingonequipmentthatisconnected to powerlines,removejewelry(including
rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and
can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals. (To see translated versions of this
warning,refertotheRegulatoryComplianceandSafetyInformationdocumentthataccompaniedthe
router.)
Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:
•Locate the emergency power-OFF switch in the room in which you are working. Then, if an
electrical accident occurs, you can quickly shut the power OFF.
•Before working on the router, turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord.
•Disconnect all power before doing the following:
—Installing or removing a router chassis
—Working near power supplies
—Performing a software upgrade
•Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Warning Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact
with telephone-network voltages. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory
Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied the router.)
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning
activity. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety
Information document that accompanied the router.)
•Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.

61-Port and 2-Port ISDN-PRI Network Module Configuration Note
Required Tools and Equipment
Warning Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems with a
power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is OFF
and the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present
within the power supply when the power cord is connected. (To see translated versions of this
warning,refertotheRegulatoryComplianceandSafetyInformationdocumentthataccompaniedthe
router.)
•Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
•If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
—Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
—Turn OFF power to the router.
—If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, determine the condition of the
victim and then call for help.
—Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take
appropriate action.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when
electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent
failures. Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards. Ensure that
the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap,
ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis
frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage
and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground
yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be
between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).
Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools and equipment to install a network module in a Cisco 3600 series
chassis slot:
•Network module
•Number 1 Phillips screwdriver or small flat-blade screwdriver
•ESD-preventive wrist strap

1-Port and 2-Port ISDN-PRI Network Module Configuration Note 7
Installing PRI Network Modules in a Chassis Slot
Installing PRI Network Modules in a Chassis Slot
Caution Network modules do not support online insertion and removal (hot swap). To avoid
damaging the module, before you insert a network module into a chassis slot, you must turn OFF
electrical power and disconnect network cables.
The following instructions apply only to installing network modules in a chassis slot. To install a
WAN interface card in a network module, see the configuration note for the WAN interface card.
You can install network modules in the chassis either before or after mounting the router, whichever
is more convenient.
Note Do not install a PRI network module in the same chassis as an ISDN Basic Rate Interface
(BRI) network module or a BRI WAN interface card. This configuration is not supported.
Follow this procedure to install a network module:
Step 1 Turn OFF electrical power to the router. However, to channel ESD voltages to ground, do
not unplug the power cable. Remove all network interface cables, including telephone
cables, from the rear panel.
The following warning applies to routers that use a DC power supply:
Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from
the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that
services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of
the circuit breaker in the OFF position. (To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the
Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied the router.)
Step 2 Using either a number 1 Phillips screwdriver or a small flat-blade screwdriver, remove the
blank filler panel from the chassis slot where you plan to install the module. Save the
blank panel for future use.
Step 3 Align the network module with the guides in the chassis and slide it gently into the slot.
Step 4 Push the module into place until you feel its edge connector mate securely with the
connector on the motherboard.
Step 5 Fasten the module’s captive mounting screws into the holes in the chassis, using the
Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver.
Step 6 If the router was previously running, reinstall the network interface cables and turn ON
power to the router.

Connecting the PRI Module to the Network
The following warning applies to routers that use a DC power supply:
Warning After wiring the DC power supply, remove the tape from the circuit breaker switch handle
and reinstate power by moving the handle of the circuit breaker to the ON position. (To see translated
versions of this warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that
accompanied the router.)
Blank Network Module Panels
If the router is configured with fewer than four network modules, make sure that blank panels fill the
open chassis slots to provide proper airflow. (See Figure 7.)
