Add an interface card to the subslots that are associated with a piece of equipment in the Network Inventory Workspace Lists view.

## Procedure {#adding-interface-card-sub-slots__section_z4m_snk_3tb}

You perform this task in the same manner as you did for the Adding the related interface cards to the equipment template procedure. To learn more about this earlier procedure, see [Add a network interface to the equipment template](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/uPgpnBEhk_TdRx4UIhu8oQ "In the equipment inventory template that you created in the Network Inventory Workspace Lists view, use the Related Templates tab to add the associated network interface.").

The following example shows an interface card model that is assigned to a subslot.

## Adding more subslots to child cards {#adding-interface-card-sub-slots__section_ejh_ndl_3tb}

Interface card templates that you add to subslots to are referred to as child and daughter cards.

* An interface card template that goes inside these subslots are referred to as a child card.
* A child card can slot have subslots, and an interface card template that goes inside the subslot of a child card is referred to as a daughter card.

## What's next {#adding-interface-card-sub-slots__section_swn_gkk_3tb}

Next, add a network interface to a child or daughter card. To learn more, see [Add a network interface template to a child or daughter card template](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/MAIwD4jyZJQHYCWha7RdsA "As a last step, you can optionally add a network interface template to a child and daughter card template in the Network Inventory Workspace Lists view.").
**Previous topic:** [Add a network interface template to an interface card template](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/aJvU0q0lVeFomE9PtI2xyw "If the interface card supports network interfaces directly to it, create an interface template relationship between the two interfaces in the Network Inventory Workspace Lists view.")  
**Next topic:** [Add a network interface template to a child or daughter card template](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/MAIwD4jyZJQHYCWha7RdsA "As a last step, you can optionally add a network interface template to a child and daughter card template in the Network Inventory Workspace Lists view.")

These templates contain the detailed business guidance rules so that you can properly configure your equipment. During this process, you also specify the relationships between each inventory template.")
