Warnings and Cautions
Observe the following warnings and cautions when installing or removing port adapters.
Caution Do not slide a port adapter or VIP motherboard all the way into the slot until you have connected all
required cables. Trying to do so disrupts normal operation of the router or switch.
Note If a port adapter lever or other retaining mechanism does not move to the locked position, the port
adapter or VIP motherboard it is installed on is not completely seated in the midplane or backplane.
Carefully pull the card halfway out of the slot, reinsert it, and move the port adapter lever or other
mechanism to the locked position.
