VIP2 and the PA-FE Port Adapters 3-5
Removing a Port Adapter
Step 4
Locate the screw at the rear of the port adapter (or blank port adapter) to be replaced. (See
Figure 3-5.) This screw secures the port adapter (or blank port adapter) to its slot.

Step 5
Remove the screw that secures the port adapter (or blank port adapter).
Step 6
With the screw removed, grasp the handle on the front of the port adapter (or blank port
adapter) and carefully pull it out of its slot, away from the edge connector at the rear of
the slot. (See Figure 3-6.)

Step 7
If you removed a port adapter, place it in an antistatic container for safe storage or
shipment back to the factory. If you removed a blank port adapter, no special handling is
required; however, store the blank port adapter for potential future use.
This completes the procedure for removing a port adapter from a VIP2.
