Single-Width Port Adapter
Single-width port adapters occupy one of the two port adapter slots on a VIP6-80. When a single-width port adapter slot is not in use, use a blank port adapter to fill the empty slot to allow the router to conform to EMI emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow through the router. If you plan to install a new single-width port adapter in a port adapter slot that is not in use, first remove the blank port adapter.
Figure 5 describes the steps required to install a single-width port adapter.
