Installing a Port Adapter

Installing a Port Adapter

Use the following procedure to install a new port adapter in a Cisco 7200 series router:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.

Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.

Step 2 Use both hands to grasp the port adapter by its metal carrier edges and position the port adapter so that its components face downward. (See Figure 4-4.)

Step 3 Align the left and right edge of the port adapter metal carrier between the guides in the port adapter slot. (See Figure 4-5.)

Note: This adapter alignment applies to any port or service adapter.

Step 4 With the metal carrier aligned in the slot guides, gently slide the port adapter halfway into the slot.

Caution Do not slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until you have connected all required cables. Trying to do so disrupts normal operation of the router.

Step 5 With the port adapter halfway in the slot, connect all required cables to the port adapter.

Step 6 After connecting the cables, carefully slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until you feel the port adapter’s connectors make contact with the midplane.

Step 7 Move the port adapter lever to the locked position. Figure 4-6 shows the lever in the locked position.

Note If the lever does not move to the locked position, the port adapter is not completely seated in the midplane. Carefully pull the port adapter halfway out of the slot, reinsert it, and move the port adapter lever to the locked position.
