Replacing a Port Adapter or Service Adapter
Replacing a Port Adapter or Service Adapter
At some point, you might want or need to replace a port or service adapter in your Cisco 7206. The
following procedures explain how to remove and install a port or service adapter. For software
commands that display information about a specific port or service adapter, or for all port and service
adapters installed in your Cisco 7206, refer to
Chapter 1, “Product Overview,”
the
“Port Adapter Slot
and Logical Interface Numbering” section on page 1-28
.
Note
The steps for removing and installing a port or service adapter are the same; therefore, the term adapter
in the following procedures applies to both port adapters and service adapters, unless noted otherwise.
Removing a Port or Service Adapter
Complete the following steps to remove a port or service adapter from the Cisco 7206 router:
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventative wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.
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
Place the port adapter lever for the desired port adapter slot in the unlocked position. The lever remains
in the unlocked position. (Refer to
Figure 5-1
.)

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.
