Note: This adapter alignment applies to any port or service adapter.
Step 4 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 5 With the port adapter halfway in the slot, connect all required cables to the port adapter.
Step 6 After connecting the cables, carefully slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until you feel the port adapter’s connectors make contact with the midplane.
Step 7 Move the port adapter lever to the locked position. Figure
Note If the 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.
