Ensure that the ESD strap makes contact with your skin.
• Handle the Cisco ASR 1001-X SPA by its metal carrier edges and handles; avoid touching the
printed circuit board or any connector pins.
• When removing the Cisco ASR 1001-X SPA, place it on an antistatic surface with the printed circuit
board components facing upward, or in a static shielding bag.
Removing a Shared Port Adapter
To remove a SPA, follow these steps.
Step 1 Attach an ESD wrist strap between you and an unpainted chassis surface.

Replacing a Shared Port Adapter

Step 1 To insert a SPA, locate the guide rails that hold the SPA in place. They are at the top left and top right
of the SPA slot and are recessed about an inch.
Step 2 Carefully slide the SPA all the way in using both hands until the SPA is firmly seated in the SPA interface
connector. When fully seated, the SPA might be slightly behind the faceplate.
Step 3 After the SPA is properly seated, fasten the SPA in place with the captive installation screws on either
side of the SPA.
Note Ensure that you fasten the captive installation screws to provide appropriate connectivity.
Step 4 Restart the SPA using the following steps:
a. At the router# prompt, enter hw-module subslot 0/1 start and press Enter.
