Installing a Port Adapter
PA-FE-TX and PA-FE-FX Fast Ethernet 100BaseT Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
6-4
Caution
Do not slide the 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.

Aligning the Single-Width Port Adapter Between the Slot Guides
Step 7
With the port adapter halfway in the slot, connect all required cables to the port adapter.
Step 8
After connecting all required cables, carefully slide the port adapter all the way into the
slot until the port adapter is seated in the router.
Step 9
After seating the port adapter in the router, slide the locking tab up to the locked position
and tighten the screws. (Figure 6-1 or Figure 6-2 shows the locking tab in the locked
position.)
Note
If the port adapter lever is not in the locked position, the port adapter is not
completely seated in the router. Carefully pull the port adapter halfway out of the slot,
reinsert it, and move the port adapter lever to the locked position.
This completes the procedure for installing a new port adapter in a Cisco 7100 series router. Proceed
to Chapter 8, “Configuring PA-FE Port Adapter Interfaces,” to connect the necessary cables to your
port adapter.
