Place the adapter on an antistatic surface with its components facing upward, or in a static shielding bag.
Step 6
If the adapter will be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
This completes the procedure for removing a port or service adapter from the Cisco 7204 router.
Complete the following steps to install a port or service adapter in the Cisco 7204 router:
Attach an ESD-preventative wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.
Step 1
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly
touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Step 2 Use both hands to grasp the adapter by its metal carrier edges and position the adapter so that its
components are downward. (Refer to
Step 3 Align the left and right edge of the adapter's metal carrier between the guides in the port adapter slot.
(Refer to
Figure 6-3
Slot
guide
Step 4 With the metal carrier aligned in the slot guides, gently slide the port adapter half way into the port
adapter slot. If you are installing a service adapter, carefully slide the service adapter all the way into the
slot until the adapter is seated in the router midplane and continue from Step 7.
Caution Do not slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until you have connected all required cables. Trying
to do so will disrupt normal operation of the router.
With the port adapter half way in the slot, connect all required cables to the port adapter.
