Replacing or Adding a New Card
This section describes how to add a WMIC to the stack and how to replace a WMIC, Mobile Router
Power Care (MRPC), Serial Mobile Interface Card (SMIC), or Fast Ethernet Switch Mobile Interface
Card(FESMIC).
To ensure that cards can be installed properly, prevent the card pins from getting bent.
Caution
Adding a New WMIC
To add a new WMIC card to the card stack, follow these steps:
Attach the antenna cables to the WMIC.
Step 1
We recommend that you label the free end of the antenna cables as primary and secondary, and that you
identify the WMIC to which they are associated. We recommend that you associate the primary cable
with MAIN and the secondary cable with AUX.
