Handling a Port Adapter
Step 6
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 uBR7200 series universal
broadband router.
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.)
