Use the following standard procedure to remove a port adapter from a Cisco 7200 series router:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.

Step 3 Grasp the handle on the port adapter and pull the port adapter from the midplane, about halfway out of its slot. If you are removing a blank port adapter, pull the blank port adapter from the port adapter slot.

Note As you disengage the port adapter from the router midplane, OIR administratively shuts down all active interfaces on the port adapter.

Step 4 With the port adapter halfway out of the slot, disconnect all cables from the port adapter. Step 5 After disconnecting the cables, pull the port adapter from its port adapter slot.

Caution Always handle the port adapter by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the port adapter’s components or connector pins. (Refer to Figure 17.)
