What You Can Upgrade or Replace
Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the Cisco 3230 and 3270 Rugged Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) and lists the router components that you can replace in the field. This chapter also lists the tools you need to replace these components.
Cisco 3230 Rugged Enclosure
The Cisco 3230 Rugged Enclosure houses a rugged wireless router that offers secure data, voice, and video communication, and supports multiple wired and wireless links, including integrated 802.11b/g and 4.9-GHz/5-GHz wireless technologies.
With a flexible, compact form factor, these rugged enclosures are ideally suited for integration into vehicles or outdoor environments.

Cisco 3230 Router Card Stack
The Cisco 3230 Rugged Enclosure houses a router card stack bundle of up to (7) cards. Each bundle contains a base configuration of the following cards:
•
One Cisco 3230 Mobile Access Router Card (MARC)
•
•
•
In addition, a card stack bundle can contain from one to three Cisco Wireless Mobile Interface Cards (WMICs).
The cards that make up a Cisco 3230 ISR card stack bundle are stacked in the order shown in Figure 1-3.

Cisco 3270 Rugged ISR
The Cisco 3270 Rugged Enclosure is approximately double the size of the Cisco 3230 Rugged Enclosure. The larger enclosure is needed to accommodate the Cisco 3270 MARC, which is longer than the Cisco 3230 MARC and has greater port density, performance, fiber, and Gigabit Ethernet capabilities.
This section provides an overview of the Cisco 3270 Rugged Enclosure. For more information about it, see Cisco 3200 Series Router Hardware Reference.

Cisco 3270 Router Card Stack
The Cisco 3270 Rugged Enclosure houses a card stack bundle of up to 7 cards. Each bundle contains a base configuration of the following:
•
•
•
•
•
In addition, a card stack bundle can contain from one to three Cisco WMICs.
The cards that make up a Cisco 3270 Router card stack bundle are stacked in the order shown in Figure 1-6.
