Connecting Cisco 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Switch HWICs to Your
Network
To connect the Cisco 10/100BASE-T Ethernet switch HWIC to the network, perform the following steps:
Confirm that the router is powered down.
Step 1
Step 2
Insert the Cisco 10/100BASE-T Ethernet switch HWIC into an HWIC slot on the platform.
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
Caution
connect the 4-port single-wide HWIC (HWIC-4ESW), 4-port single-wide HWIC with PoE
(HWIC-4ESW-POE), (8+1)-port double-wide HWIC (HWIC-D-9ESW), and (8+1)-port double-wide
HWIC with PoE (HWIC-D-9ESW-POE) only to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling. The
intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends.
Using the appropriate cables, connect the card to your system.

network segments
On the HWIC-4ESW card, all four ports support Auto-MDIX, so both straight-through and
crossover cables can be used.
On the HWIC-D-9ESW card, ports 0 through 7 support Auto-MDIX, so both straight-through and
crossover cables may be used. Port 8 supports Auto-MDIX only when configured in Auto mode.
