Chapter 3 Removing and Installing Port Adapters
Warnings and Cautions
Specifically, when you insert a module, the longest pins make contact with the module first, and the
shortest pins make contact last. The system recognizes the signals and the sequence in which it receives
them.
When you remove or insert a module, the pins send signals to notify the system of changes. The router
then performs the following procedure:
1.
Rapidly scans the system for configuration changes.
2.
Initializes newly inserted port adapters or administratively shuts down any vacant interfaces.
3.
Brings all previously configured interfaces on the module back to their previously installed state.
Any newly inserted interface is put in the administratively shutdown state, as if it was present (but
not configured) at boot time. If a similar module type is reinserted into a slot, its ports are configured
and brought online up to the port count of the originally installed module of that type.
Note
Before you begin installation, read
Chapter 2, “Preparing for Installation,”
for a list of parts and tools
required for installation.
Warnings and Cautions
Observe the following warnings and cautions when installing or removing port adapters.
Caution
Do not slide a port adapter all the way into the slot until you have connected all required cables. Trying
to do so disrupts normal operation of the router or switch.
Caution
To prevent jamming the carrier between the upper and the lower edges of the port adapter slot, and to
ensure that the edge connector at the rear of the port adapter mates with the connection at the rear of the
port adapter slot, make certain that the carrier is positioned correctly, as shown in the cutaway in the
following illustrations.
Warning
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly
touch the midplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
