Installing a Port Adapter
Following is the procedure for installing a new port adapter in a Cisco 7200 series router:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.
Step 2 Remove the new port adapter from its antistatic container and position it at the opening
of the slot. (See Figure 5-4.)
Step 3 Use both hands to grasp the port adapter by its metal carrier edges and position the port
adapter so that its components face downward. (See Figure 5-3.)
