Installing and Removing Modular Port Adapters

These sections describe how to install or remove modular port adapters (MPAs) on the

Cisco ASR 9001 Router.

Handling Modular Port Adapters (MPAs)

Each modular port adapter (MPA) circuit board is mounted on a metal carrier, and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Before you begin installation, refer to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Ethernet Line Card Installation Guide for a list of parts and tools required for installation.

Caution Always handle the modular port adapter (MPA) by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the modular port adapter (MPA) components or connector pins. (Figure 3-7.)

When a bay is not in use, a blank ASR 9000 MPA Slot Filler (A9K-MPA-FILR) must fill the empty bay to allow the router to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow across the installed modules. If you plan to install a modular port adapter (MPA) in a bay that is not in use, you must first remove the blank.
