Removing and Replacing Port Adapters
Installing a Port Adapter in CMM Slots 1 through 3
Note When you face the CMM front panel, slot 1 is on the left, slot 2 is in the middle, and slot 3 is on the
right. Slot 4 is located internally. (See Figure 13.)
To install a port adapter in CMM slots 1 through 3, perform these steps:
Warning
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution
when servicing. Statement 1034
Step 1 Remove the CMM from the Catalyst 6500 series switch or the Cisco 7600 series router; see the
“Removing the CMM” section on page 16.
Step 2 Carefully place the CMM, component-side up, on an antistatic mat or foam pad, with the front of the
CMM facing toward you.
Step 3 If there is a blank filler plate installed, remove it.
Step 4 Remove the new port adapter from its antistatic bag.
Step 5 Locate the slot in which you are going to install the port adapter. Note the location of the following items
(see Figure 13):
• Two port adapter connectors
• Two standoff mounting posts
• Two Phillips screw mounting posts
• Two Phillips screw access holes
Step 6 Align the port adapter with the mounting posts and mounting holes. Ensure that the connectors on the
port adapter are aligned with the connectors on the CMM.
Step 7 When all mounting posts and mounting holes are aligned, gently push down on the port adapter edges
to ensure that the keys on the connectors are properly aligned. If necessary, while applying pressure with
your left hand, rock the module up and down slightly with your right hand to seat the port adapter.
Tip To seat the port adapter into the two connectors, grasp the rear of the port adapter with one hand, and
gently but firmly push down on the rear of the port adapter until it is seated in the connectors. You will
hear a distinctive “click” when the port adapter seats in the connectors.
Caution Use care not to damage the connectors on the port adapter. If you damage a connector, you will have to
return the port adapter to Cisco for repair.
