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 new port adapter on a VIP2.

Step 1 Remove the new port adapter from its antistatic container and position it at the opening
