Step 7
If you removed a port adapter, place it in an antistatic container for safe storage or
shipment back to the factory. If you removed a blank port adapter, no special handling is
required; however, store the blank port adapter for potential future use.
This completes the procedure for removing a port adapter from a VIP2.

of the slot. (See Figure 3-5.)
Caution To prevent jamming thecarrier between the upper andlower edgesof the port adapter slot,
and to assure that the edge connector at the rear of the port adapter mates with the connector at the
rear of the port adapter slot, make certain that the leading edges of the carrier are between the upper
and lower slot edges, as shown in the cutaway in Figure 3-5.
