Installing a Port Adapter
Step 6 Place the port adapter on an antistatic surface with its components facing upward, or in a static shielding bag. If the port adapter will be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
This completes the procedure for removing a port adapter from a Cisco uBR7200 series router.
Installing a Port Adapter
Following is the procedure for installing a port adapter in a Cisco uBR7200 series router:
Step 1 Attach an
Step 2 Use both hands to grasp the port adapter by its metal carrier edges and position the port adapter so that its components are downward. (See Figure
Step 3 Align the left and the right edge of the port adapter metal carrier between the guides in the port adapter slot. (See Figure

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 the port adapter is seated in the router midplane.
Step 7 Secure the port adapter:
•For a Cisco uBR7246, slide the port adapter retention clip up to the locked position. See Figure
Note If the retention clip does not slide up 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 slide the retention clip up to the locked position.
