Replacing a Port Adapter or Service Adapter

Placing the Port Adapter Lever in the Unlocked Position
Step 3
Grasp the handle on the port or service adapter and carefully pull the adapter from the midplane, about
half way out of its slot. If you are removing a blank adapter or a service adapter, pull the blank or service
adapter all the way out of the chassis slot and continue from Step 6.
Note
As you pull a port adapter from the midplane, OIR administratively shuts down all active
interfaces on the port adapter (service adapters do not have interfaces). For a complete
description of OIR, refer to the section
“Online Insertion and Removal” section on page 1-26
in
Chapter 1, “Product Overview.”
Step 4
With the port adapter half way out of the slot, disconnect all cables from the port adapter. (This step does
not apply to service adapters.)
Step 5
After disconnecting the cables, pull the port adapter from its chassis slot.
Caution
Always handle the port or service adapter by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the adapter’s
components or connector pins. (Refer to
Figure 6-2
.)
