Installing WICs and VICs
The router has four card slots that hold Cisco WICs and VICs. Either one or two
WICs may be installed, with the remaining slots holding VICs, as desired. If no
WICs are present in the slots, up to four VICs may be installed. Each WIC has one
or two WAN ports and each VIC has one or more voice ports. This section
describes the procedure for installing a WIC or a VIC in the router.
Note
For details on specific WICs and VICs, on connecting a WIC to the WAN line or
VIC to the telephone and fax line, and on configuring 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.
