Installing and Removing a Shared Port Adapter
Step 2 To insert the SPA in the SIP, locate the guide rails inside the SIP that hold the SPA in place. In each SPA
bay, there are two guide rails for the SPA. The guide rails are recessed about an inch. The figure below shows
one guide rail on the right side of bay 0.
Figure 21: SPA Installation and Removal (Horizontal Orientation)
• If the SIP is in a horizontal orientation, the guide rails are on the top left and top right of the bay.
• If the SIP is in a vertical orientation, the guide rails are at the top and bottom of the right side of the bay.
Step 3 Align the SPA edges with the two guide rails in the SIP.
Step 4
Carefully slide the SPA all the way into the SIP until the SPA is firmly seated in the SPA interface connector.
When fully seated, the SPA might be slightly behind the SIP faceplate.
Important
Step 5 Insert the other SPA in its slot. If you are using a single SPA, insert a blank filler plate in the empty slot.
Step 6 Ensure that both ears on the SPA have attached to the SIP front panel without any tilt before tightening screws.
The tilt will increase the connection issue risk and may damage the connector. If there is a tilt, re-seat the
SPA.
When seating the SPAs, use your two hands together to push the two plastic handles at the same
time gently applying even pressure to the handles until the SPA is seated.
