Step 8 If you removed a port adapter, place it in an antistatic container for safe storage or shipment back to the factory. If you removed a blank port adapter, no special handling is required; however, store the blank port adapter for potential future use.

This completes the procedure for removing a new port adapter on a Catalyst RSM/VIP2.
