Overview
The PA-T3 port adapter can be installed in any of the available port adapter slots in the
Cisco uBR7200 series routers. Figure 6-1 shows a PA-T3 port adapter installed in port adapter slot 2
of a Cisco uBR7200 series router.

Depending on the circumstances, you might need to install a new port adapter or replace a failed port
adapter in a Cisco uBR7200 series router. In either case no tools are necessary; all port adapters
available for the Cisco uBR7200 series routers connect directly to the router midplane and are locked
into position by a port adapter retention clip (Cisco uBR7246) or lever (Cisco uBR7223). When
removing and replacing a port adapter, you need an antistatic mat onto which you can place a
removed port adapter and an antistatic container into which you can place a failed port adapter for
shipment back to the factory.
