In the equipment inventory template that you created in the Network Inventory Workspace Lists view, use the Related Templates tab to add the interface cards to the selected slots.
Procedure
In the Related Templates tab, select the slot that you want to add the interface card to.

When the slot record appears, in the Related Templates tab, click New. Create an inventory template for the associated interface card.

- In the Name field, enter a name for the interface card.
- In the Inventory model field, the associated network interface cards
according to the specified slot-to-interface card model relationship. If there is an associated
inventory model, you can select one as needed.
When you submit the form, the interface appears in the Related Templates tab for the associated slot. If there are associated interface cards, repeat this procedure until you've paired all slots in the equipment template.
The following example shows the inventory template for the slot with an associated interface card.

If the card model has a Slot Occupied attribute, and its value is greater than 1, a Slot Occupied field appears on the form. It ensures that you are able to identify that when this card is instantiated, other slots are also attached it. By using this field, you can indicate if the other slots that are attached to that piece of equipment are compatible to the network interface that you are selecting.

Next, add subslots to the network interface template. To learn more, see Adding subslot templates to the interface card template.
