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

Note As you disengage the port adapter from the 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 chassis slot.

Caution Always handle the port adapter by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the port adapter’s components or connector pins. (See Figure 5-4.)
