Installation and Removal Instructions
Installation and Removal Instructions
You must install NM-CIDS offline in Cisco 2650XM, 2651XM, and 2961 series routers.
To avoid damaging NM-CIDS, you must turn OFF electrical power and disconnect network cables before
Caution
you insert NM-CIDS into a chassis slot or remove NM-CIDS from a chassis slot.
Cisco 3660 and Cisco 3700 series routers lets you replace network modules without switching off the
router or affecting the operation of other interfaces. OIR provides uninterrupted operation to network
users, maintains routing information, and ensures session preservation.
Note
Cisco 2600, 3600, and 3700 series routers support only one NM-CIDS per chassis.
Unlike other network modules, NM-CIDS uses a hard-disk drive. Online removal of hard-disk drives
Caution
without proper shutdown can result in file system corruption and might render the hard-disk drive
unusable. The operating system on NM-CIDS must be shut down in an orderly fashion before it is
removed.
