and Installing a Port Adapter
Note: You must first remove the
VIP from the chassis before
removing a port adapter from the

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
Install the screw in the rear of the
port adapter slot. Do not overtighten
the screw. (See A.)
Step 5
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 6
Reinstall the VIP motherboard in the
chassis, and tighten the captive
installation screw on each end of the
