Depending on the circumstances, you might need to install a new port adapter or replace a failed port adapter in the Cisco uBR7200 series. In either case, no tools are necessary; all port adapters available for the Cisco uBR7200 series connect directly to the router midplane and are locked into position by a port adapter lever (Cisco uBR7223) or retention clip (Cisco uBR7246). When removing and replacing a port adapter, you will need an antistatic mat onto which you can place a removed port adapter and an antistatic container into which you can place a failed port adapter for shipment back to the factory.
