To remove the port adapter,
remove the screw that secures
the port adapter (or blank
port adapter). (See A.)

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 install 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

port adapter is completely seated in
the connector at the rear of the
port adapter slot. (See B.)

Reinstall the Catalyst RSM/VIP2
motherboard in the chassis and
tighten the captive installation
screw on each side of the Catalyst
