Do not unpack the router until you are ready to install it. If the final installation site is not ready as yet,
keep the chassis in its shipping container to prevent accidental damage. When you are ready to install
the router, proceed with unpacking it.
The router, accessory kit, publications, and any optional equipment you ordered may be shipped in more
than one container. When you unpack the containers, check the packing list to ensure that you received
all of the items on the list.

Install the Router

If you need to install Network Interface Modules (NIMs), Service Modules (SMs), and
Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs), you can install them either before or after you install the router. Ideally,
you install modules when you have the best access to the back panel of the router. Internal modules and
FRUs, such as SMs, NIMs or Packet Voice Digital Signal Processor Module (PVDM4s), Compact Flash
Cards, and fan trays should be installed before rack-mounting.
