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 uBR7200 series router.
Installing a Port Adapter
Take the following steps to install a single-width port adapter in a Cisco uBR7200 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 5-4.)
Step 3 Align the left and right edge of the port adapter metal carrier between the guides in the
port adapter slot. (See Figure 5-5.)

Step 4 With the metal carrier aligned inthe slot guides, gently slide the portadapter 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.
Step 5 With the port adapter halfway in the slot, connect all required cables to the port adapter.
Step 6 After connecting the cables, carefully slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until
the port adapter is seated in the router midplane.
Step 7 Place the port adapter in the locked position.
• For the Cisco uBR7246, slide the port adapter retention clip up to the locked position.
