Note Port adapters have a handle attached, but this handle is not shown to allow a full view of detail on each port adapter’s faceplate.

Depending on the circumstances, you might need to install a new port adapter on a

Catalyst RSM/VIP2 motherboard or replace a failed port adapter in the field. In either case, you will need the following items:

•

•

Number 1 Phillips screwdriver

Antistatic mat onto which you can place the removed interface processor

•Antistatic container into which you can place a failed port adapter for shipment back to the factory

Note Each port adapter circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to ESD damage. Each port adapter has one Phillips-head screw that secures it to its port adapter slot. We strongly recommend that the following procedures be performed by a Cisco-certified service provider.

While the Catalyst RSM/VIP2 supports online insertion and removal, individual port adapters do not. To replace port adapters, you must first remove the Catalyst RSM/VIP2 from the chassis, then install or replace port adapters as required. If a blank port adapter is installed on the

Catalyst RSM/VIP2 in which you want to install a new port adapter, you must first remove the Catalyst RSM/VIP2 from the chassis, then remove the blank port adapter.
