Installing a Port Adapter
Use the following procedure to install a new port adapter in a Cisco uBR7200 series universal
broadband router:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do
not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
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 5-5.)
Step 3 Align the left and right edge of the port adapter metal carrier between the guides in the
port adapter slot. (See Figure 5-6.)
