Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter on a VIP2
Depending on the circumstances, you might need to install a new port adapter on a VIP2 motherboard or replace a failed port adapter in the field. In either case, you need a number 1 Phillips screwdriver, an antistatic mat onto which you can place the removed interface processor, and an antistatic container into which you can place a failed port adapter for shipment back to the factory.
Caution To prevent system problems, do not remove port adapters from the VIP2 motherboard, or attempt to install other port adapters on the VIP2 motherboard, while the system is operating. To install or replace port adapters, first remove the VIP2 from its interface processor slot.
Note Each port adapter circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to ESD damage. Each port adapter has one
While the VIP2 supports online insertion and removal, individual port adapters do not. To replace port adapters, you must first remove the VIP2 from the chassis, then install or replace port adapters as required. If a blank port adapter is installed on the VIP2 in which you want to install a new port adapter, you must first remove the VIP2 from the chassis, then remove the blank port adapter.
