Installing and Removing Modular Port Adapters

The following sections describe how to install or remove an MPA on the NSC-57C3-MOD router.

Handling Modular Port Adapters

Each modular port adapter (MPA) circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD) damage.
Caution Always handle the MPA by the carrier edges; never touch the MPA components or connector pins (See the
figure below).
When a MPA slot is not in use, a blank MPA Slot Filler must fill the empty slot to allow the router to conform
to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow across the installed
modules. If you plan to install a MPA in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove the blank.
