Note First remove the VIP from the chassis before
removing the port adapter from the VIP. See the
“Remove and Install an Interface Processor, Filler,
VIP, or RSP” section on page 18 for instructions.
Step 1 Remove the screw that secures the port
adapter (or blank port adapter), as shown
in A.
Step 2 Grasp the handle and carefully pull it out
of its slot, away from the edge connector
at the rear of the slot. (See A.)
Step 3 To insert the port adapter, align the carrier
between the upper and the lower edges of
the port adapter slot. (See B.)
Step 4 Carefully slide the port adapter into the
slot until the connector is completely
seated in the connector at the rear of the
port adapter slot, as shown in B.
Step 5 Install the screw in the rear of the port
adapter slot on the VIP. Do not
overtighten the screw. (See A.)
Step 6 Carefully slide the VIP motherboard into
the interface processor slot until the
connectors at the rear of the VIP are
completely seated in the connectors at the
rear of the interface processor slot. Use the
ejector levers to seat the VIP in the
