Caution
If you press the SHUTDOWN button for more than 4 seconds, a nongraceful shutdown of the hard disk
will occur and may corrupt files on the network module’s hard disk. After a nongraceful shutdown, the
HD and SYS LEDs remain lit. Press the SHUTDOWN button for less than 2 seconds to gracefully reboot
the network module.

Connecting Cisco Integrated Storage System Network Modules
To connect Cisco Integrated Storage System network modules to an external device, use a
straight-through two-pair Category 5e unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable, and connect the RJ-45
Gigabit Ethernet port on the network module to a switch, hub, repeater, server, or other Gigabit Ethernet
network device.

Note
RJ-45 cables are not available from Cisco. These cables are widely available and must be Category 5e

Online Insertion and Removal of Cisco Network Modules
Procedure
Procedure
Some Cisco routers allow you to replace network modules without switching off the router or affecting
the operation of other interfaces. This feature is called online insertion and removal (OIR). OIR of a
module provides uninterrupted operation to network users, maintains routing information, and ensures
session preservation.

module provides uninterrupted operation to network users, maintains routing information, and ensures
session preservation.
Caution
Unlike other network modules, Cisco Integrated Storage System enhanced network modules use hard
disks. Online removal of network modules without proper shutdown can cause file system corruption and
might render the disk unusable. You must shut down the operating system on the network module in an
orderly way before removing or powering down the module.
disks. Online removal of network modules without proper shutdown can cause file system corruption and
might render the disk unusable. You must shut down the operating system on the network module in an
orderly way before removing or powering down the module.
Caution
Cisco routers support OIR with identical modules only. If you remove a module, install in its place
another module exactly like the one you removed. If you remove a 2-slot module (along with any
installed WAN or voice interface cards), install another module and card combination exactly like the
one you removed.
