The router supports one to two Cisco WICs and one to three Cisco VICs. Each
WIC has one or two WAN ports and each VIC has one or two voice ports. This
section describes the procedure for installing a WIC or a VIC in the router.
For details on specific WICs and VICs, how to connect a WIC to the WAN line or
VIC to the telephone and fax line, and how to configure the interface with
Cisco IOS software, refer to the Cisco WAN Interface Cards Hardware
Installation Guide that came with the cards.
This section lists safety warnings that you should be aware of before installing
WICs or VICs in the router. To see translated versions of these warnings, refer to
the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 1700 Routers
document that came with the router.
Before working on a system that has an on/off switch, turn off the power and
unplug the power cord.
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this
equipment.
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry
(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.
Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone-network cables (from the
card) to avoid contact with the telephone-network voltages.
