Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Statement 1030
This equipment must be installed and maintained by service personnel as defined by AS/NZS 3260.
Incorrectly connecting this equipment to a general-purpose outlet could be hazardous. The
telecommunications lines must be disconnected 1) before unplugging the main power connector or 2)
while the housing is open, or both.
Statement 1043
Before working on a system that has an on/off switch, turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord.
Statement 1
This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to
de-energize the unit.
Statement 1028
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024

Warning
Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF
or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables,
detach the end away from the unit first.
Statement 1026
Before opening the unit, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with
telephone-network voltages.
Statement 1041
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings,
necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can
cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.
Statement 43
Do not use this product near water; for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry
tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote
risk of electric shock from lightning.
To report a gas leak, do not use a telephone in the vicinity of the leak.
There is the danger of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery only with
the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according
to the manufacturer's instructions.
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

CautionAlways wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD)-preventive wrist strap and ensure that it makes good
contact with your skin when you remove or install a service module (SM). Connect the equipment end
of the wrist strap to the metal part of the chassis.
CautionHandle service modules (SMs) by the edges only. SMs are ESD-sensitive components and can be
damaged by mishandling.
Software Requirements for the Cisco SM-X-1T3/E3
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.9.1 or later release is required to operate the Cisco SM-X-1T3/E3 enhanced
service module on Cisco ISR 4451-X routers.
To determine the version of Cisco IOS software that is running on your router, log in to the router and
enter the show version command:

Removing the Cisco SM-X-1T3/E3 from a Cisco ISR 4451-X Router
Use the following procedure to remove the Cisco SM-X-1T3/E3 from a Cisco ISR 4451-X Router:
Step 1Read the “Safety Warnings” section on page -2 before you perform any module replacement.
Step 2Locate the service module (SM) to be removed.
Step 3Using a number 1 Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver, unscrew the captive mounting screws on the module
faceplate. See Figure 1.
Step 4Pull the Cisco SM-X-1T3/E3 out of the chassis.
Step 5Place the SM in an antistatic bag to protect it from electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.

Warning
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the SM-X-1T3/E3 interface ports only to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cable. The
intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends. The intra-building
port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect
to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type
2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling.
The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces
metallically to OSP wiring.
CautionTo minimize transient surges, the internal wiring should not be routed in the same conduit with power
