Pulling a Port Adapter Out of a Slot—Partial Port Adapter View
If you removed a port adapter, place it in an antistatic container for safe storage or
shipment back to the factory. If you removed a blank port adapter, no special handling is
required; however, store the blank port adapter for potential future use.
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.
If you want to install a new port adapter on a Catalyst RSM/VIP2 with a single port

adapter, you must first remove the blank port adapter from the port adapter slot in which
you want to install the new port adapter.
For a new port adapter installation or a port adapter replacement, disconnect any interface
cables from the ports on the front of the port adapter, although this is not required. You
can remove the Catalyst RSM/VIP2 with cables attached; however, we do not recommend
it.
Remove the new port adapter from its antistatic container and position it at the opening
of the slot.
Carefully align the port adapter carrier between the upper and the lower edges of the port
adapter slot, as shown in Figure 4-4.
