Handling Port Adapters

Each port adapter circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.

Note When a slot is not in use, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot to allow the router or switch to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow across the installed port adapters. If you plan to install a new port adapter in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove the blank port adapter.

Caution Always handle the port adapter by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the port adapter components

or connector pins. Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling equipment. (See Figure 7.)
