Note: You must first remove the VIP
from the chassis before removing a port
adapter from the VIP.
Step 1
To remove the port adapter, remove
the screw that secures the port
adapter (or blank port adapter).
(See A.)
Step 2
With the screw removed, grasp the
handle on the front of the port adapter
(or blank port adapter) and carefully pull
it out of its slot, away from the edge
connector at the rear of the slot. (See A.)
Step 3
To insert the port adapter, carefully align
the port adapter carrier between the
upper and the lower edges of the port
adapter slot. (See B.)
Step 4
Carefully slide the new port adapter into
the port adapter slot until the connector
on the port adapter is completely seated
in the connector at the rear of the port
adapter slot. (See B.)
Step 5
Install the screw in the rear of the port
adapter slot on the VIP. Do not
overtighten the screw. (See A.)
Step 6
Carefully slide the VIP motherboard into
the interface processor slot until the
connectors at the rear of the VIP are
completely seated in the connectors at
the rear of the interface processor slot.
