Place the port adapter on an antistatic surface with its components facing upward, or in a
static shielding bag. If the port adapter will be returned to the factory, immediately place
it in a static shielding bag.
This completes the procedure for removing a port adapter from a Cisco 7200 series router.
Installing a Port Adapter
Take the following steps to install 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 Use both hands to grasp the port adapter by its metal carrier edges and position the port
adapter so that its components are downward. (See Figure 4-3.)
Step 3 Align the left and right edge of the port adapter metal carrier between the guides in the
port adapter slot. (See Figure 4-4.)

Step 4
With the metalcarrier aligned in the slot guides, gentlyslide the port adapter halfway into
the slot.
Caution Do not slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until you have connected all required
cables. Trying to do so will disrupt normal operation of the router.
