Step 5 Remove the screw that secures the port adapter (or blank port adapter).

Step 7 If you removed a port adapter, place it in an antistatic container for safe storage or shipment back to the factory. If you removed a blank port adapter, no special handling is required; however, store the blank port adapter for potential future use.

This completes the procedure for removing a port adapter from a VIP2.

Installing a Port Adapter

Step 1 Remove the new port adapter from its antistatic container and position it at the opening of the slot. (See Figure 3-5.)

Caution To prevent jamming the carrier between the upper and lower edges of the port adapter slot, and to assure that the edge connector at the rear of the port adapter mates with the connector at the rear of the port adapter slot, make certain that the leading edges of the carrier are between the upper and lower slot edges, as shown in the cutaway in Figure 3-5.
