Cisco Systems PA-E3, PA-2E3 manual Port adapter Handle

Installing a Port Adapter

Step 5 With the metal carrier aligned in the slot guides, gently slide the port adapter halfway into the slot.

Caution Do not slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until you have connected all required cables. Trying to do so disrupts normal operation of the router.

Step 6 With the port adapter halfway in the slot, connect all required cables to the port adapter.

Step 7 After connecting all required cables, carefully slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until the port adapter is seated in the router midplane.

Step 8 After seating the port adapter in the router midplane, move the port adapter lever to the locked position. Figure 5-5 shows the port adapter lever in the locked position.

Note If the port adapter lever does not move to the locked position, the port adapter is not completely seated in the midplane. Carefully pull the port adapter halfway out of the slot, reinsert it, and move the port adapter lever to the locked position.
