Installing a Port Adapter

Caution Always handle the port adapter by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the port adapter’s components or connector pins. (See Figure 5-3.)

Step 6 Place the port adapter on an antistatic surface with its components facing upward, or in a static shielding bag. If the port adapter will be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.

This completes the procedure for removing a port adapter from a Cisco 7200 series router.

Installing a Port Adapter

Following is the procedure for installing a new port adapter in a Cisco 7200 series router:

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

Step 2 Remove the new port adapter from its antistatic container and position it at the opening of the slot. (See Figure 5-4.)

Step 3 Use both hands to grasp the port adapter by its metal carrier edges and position the port adapter so that its components face downward. (See Figure 5-3.)

Step 4 Align the left and the right edge of the port adapter metal carrier between the guides in the port adapter slot. (See Figure 5-4.)
