Figure 72: Cisco 8712-MOD-M Router - Remove Modular Port Adapter 7. Proceed with installing an MPA. Install a Modular Port Adapter This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing a modular port adapter (MPA) in a Cisco 8700 Series router. To install an MPA, perform the following steps: 1.

Routers can operate normally only with the same type of PSU in both the power slots. During replacement of PSU from one type to another, the router exhibits unexpected behaviour and the Cisco IOS XR software raises the PID mismatch alarm due to the presence of different types of PSUs. You must therefore replace the PSUs in both slots with the same type.
