Step 1
Use an ESD wrist strap to ground yourself to the router. A banana jack ground is to the left of the power switch.
Step 2
To remove a port adapter, use a Phillips screwdriver to turn the screw holding the port adapter latch. The screw should
be loose enough to allow the latch to rotate to an unlocked position (1). The latch can rotate 360
o
.
Step 3
Grasp the handle and pull the port adapter (2) from the router, about halfway out of its slot. If you are removing a
blank port adapter, pull the blank port adapter completely out of the chassis slot.
Step 4
With the port adapter halfway out of the slot, disconnect all cables from the port adapter. After disconnecting the
cables, pull the port adapter from its chassis slot.
Caution
The port adapter must slide into the slot guides (3) close to the chassis lid. Do not allow the port adapter
components to come in contact with the system board or the port adapter could be damaged.
Step 5
To insert the port adapter, carefully align the port adapter carrier in the slot guides (3), and slide the new port adapter
halfway into the chassis.
Step 6
Connect all required cables to the port adapter. After connecting all required cables, carefully slide the port adapter all
the way into the slot until the port adapter is seated.
Step 7
After the port adapter is properly seated, turn and secure the port adapter latch in the upright, locked position (1).
Tighten the screw to ensure the port adapter remains firmly in place.
