Note First remove the VIP from the chassis before removing the port adapter from the VIP. See the “Remove and Install an Interface Processor, Filler, VIP, or RSP” section on page 18 for instructions.

Step 1 Remove the screw that secures the port adapter (or blank port adapter), as shown in A.

Step 2 Grasp the handle and carefully pull it out of its slot, away from the edge connector at the rear of the slot. (See A.)

Step 3 To insert the port adapter, align the carrier between the upper and the lower edges of the port adapter slot. (See B.)

Step 4 Carefully slide the port adapter into the slot until the connector is completely seated in the connector at the rear of the port adapter slot, as shown in B.

Step 5 Install the screw in the rear of the port adapter slot on the VIP. Do not overtighten the screw. (See A.)

Step 6 Carefully slide the VIP motherboard into the interface processor slot until the connectors at the rear of the VIP are completely seated in the connectors at the rear of the interface processor slot. Use the ejector levers to seat the VIP in the interface processor slot. Tighten the captive installation screws on the VIP. (See C.)
