Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:
If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD can occur when printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards. Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must be used properly. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
![]() | Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm). |
You need the following tools and equipment to remove and install PVDMs in a high-density network module or Cisco 1750 router:
The PVDM slots on the high-density voice network module are located on top of the card, next to the WIC port. The high-density voice network module contains five 72-pin sockets or banks for PVDMs, numbered 0 through 4. (See Figure 1.) Each socket can be filled with a single 72-pin PVDM.
The PVDM slot on the Cisco 1750 router is located on top of the motherboard, in back of the stacked WIC/VIC slots 0 and 1. The motherboard on the Cisco 1750 router contains one 72-pin socket for a PVDM. (See Figure 2.)


PVDMs are manufactured with a polarization notch to ensure proper orientation and alignment holes to ensure proper positioning. Figure 3 shows the polarization notch and alignment holes on a PVDM card. PVDM cards are installed with the connector edge down, the polarization notch near the front of the board, and the component side facing the right side of the board.
![]() | Caution To avoid damaging ESD-sensitive components, observe all ESD precautions. To avoid damaging the high-density voice network module, avoid using excessive force when you remove or replace PVDMs. |

If you are going to remove or install PVDMs on high-density voice network modules that are already installed in your router, you must remove the high-density voice network module from the router.
Follow this procedure to install a network module:
Step 1 Turn OFF electrical power to the router. However, to channel ESD voltages to ground, do not unplug the power cable. Remove all network interface cables, including telephone cables, from the rear panel.
The following warning applies to routers that use a DC power supply:
| Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position. |
Step 2 Locate the high-density voice network module in your router. (See Figure 4.)

Step 3 Disconnect any cables from the voice interface card installed in the high-density voice network module.
Step 4 Loosen the module's captive mounting screws using the Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver.
Step 5 Slide the high-density voice network module out of the router. The voice interface card does not need to be removed.
The following warning applies to routers that use a DC power supply:
| Warning After wiring the DC power supply, remove the tape from the circuit breaker switch handle and reinstate power by moving the handle of the circuit breaker to the ON position. |
If you are going to remove or install PVDMs on the Cisco 1750 router motherboard, you must open the chassis. Opening the chassis requires a number 1 Phillips screwdriver.
Follow these steps to open the chassis:
Step 1 Make sure the router is turned OFF and is disconnected from the power supply.
Step 2 Turn the router upside down, and rest the top of the router on a flat surface.
Step 3 Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove the four screws that hold the top and bottom of the chassis together. (See Figure 5.)
Step 4 Turn the router back to its original position (right-side up).
Step 5 Gently pull the top of the router (which is facing up toward you) up and away from the bottom of the router (which is resting on the flat surface).
At this point, disconnect the fan, which is inside the top of the router chassis, from the motherboard. Do this by disconnecting the fan cable from the connector (labeled FAN) on the motherboard.
Step 6 Place the router bottom on an antistatic mat and locate the PVDM slot. (See Figure 2.)
Follow these steps to remove PVDMs:
Step 1 Find the PVDM sockets on the high-density voice network module (see Figure 1) or on the Cisco 1750 router motherboard (see Figure 2).
![]() | Caution Handle PVDMs by the card edges only. PVDMs are ESD-sensitive components and can be damaged by mishandling. |
Step 2 In a high-density voice network module, remove one PVDM at a time, beginning with the PVDM in bank 4. In a Cisco 1750 router, remove the one PVDM. To lift the PVDM out of its socket, pull the locking spring clips on both sides outward and tilt the PVDM toward the right side of the board, free of the clips. (See Figure 6.)

Step 3 Hold the PVDM by the edges with your thumb and index finger and lift it out of the socket. Place the removed PVDM in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
Step 4 Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for each PVDM.
Follow this procedure to install PVDMs:
Step 1 Find the PVDM slots on the high-density voice network module (see Figure 1) or on the Cisco 1750 router motherboard (see Figure 2).
![]() | Caution Handle PVDMs by the card edges only. PVDMs are ESD-sensitive components and can be damaged by mishandling. |
Step 2 Hold the PVDM with the polarization notch on the right, near the front of the board, and the component side away from you, with the connector edge at the bottom. (See Figure 6.)
Step 3 Beginning with band 0, insert the PVDM into the connector slot at an angle, tilted toward the right side of the board. In a high-density voice network module. Align or move the PVDM into a vertical position (see Figure 7), using the minimum amount of force required. When the PVDM is properly seated, the socket guide posts fit through the alignment holes, and the connector springs click into place.
Step 4 Ensure that each PVDM is straight and that the alignment holes (as shown in Figure 6) line up with the plastic guides on the socket.

![]() | Caution It is normal to feel some resistance, but do not use excessive force on the PVDM, and do not touch the surface components. |
Step 5 Repeat Step 2 through Step 4 for each PVDM.
Follow this procedure to install a network module:
Step 1 Turn OFF electrical power to the router. However, to channel ESD voltages to ground, do not unplug the power cable. Remove all network interface cables, including telephone cables, from the rear panel.
The following warning applies to routers that use a DC power supply:
| Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position. |
Step 2 Using either a number 1 Phillips screwdriver or a small flat-blade screwdriver, remove the blank filler panel from the chassis slot where you plan to install the module. Save the blank panel for future use.
Step 3 Align the network module with the guides in the chassis and slide it gently into the slot. (See Figure 8.)

Step 4 Push the module into place until you feel its edge connector mate securely with the connector on the motherboard.
Step 5 Fasten the module's captive mounting screws into the holes in the chassis, using the Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver.
Step 6 To install a voice interface card in the module, see the Cisco WAN Interface Cards Hardware Installation Guide publication. If you do not need to install a voice interface card, and if the router was previously running, reinstall the network interface cables and turn ON power to the router.
The following warning applies to routers that use a DC power supply:
| Warning After wiring the DC power supply, remove the tape from the circuit breaker switch handle and reinstate power by moving the handle of the circuit breaker to the ON position. |
If you have installed a PVDM on a Cisco 1750 router motherboard, close the chassis by following these steps:
Step 1 If you disconnected the fan from the motherboard as described in the "Accessing the Cisco 1750 Router Motherboard" section, reconnect the fan cable to the connector labeled FAN on the motherboard.
Step 2 Locate the posts that protrude from the inside of the chassis cover and the corresponding openings on the chassis bottom.
Step 3 Line up the posts with the corresponding openings (see Figure 9), and carefully slide the posts into the openings. Be careful not to damage the router motherboard with the posts.
Step 4 Replace the screws that you removed when opening the chassis. (See Figure 5.)
Step 5 To install a voice interface card in the chassis, see the Cisco WAN Interface Cards Hardware Installation Guide publication. If you do not need to install a voice interface card, and if the router was previously running, reinstall the network interface cables and turn ON power to the router.

The number of channels that an HDV network module can support depends on the number of PVDMs that are installed and the complexity level of the codecs (vocoders) needed to support the required compression method. The HDV network module supports the following number of channels:
Each HDV network module can support only one type of compression complexity (either high or medium), although HDV network modules with different compression complexity types can be installed in the same router.
Use the following procedure to configure the codec (vocoder) complexity on your HDV network module.
