Note
The PA-MC-T3 port adapter can be installed in port adapter slots 0 or 1 on the Catalyst RSM/VIP2
motherboard, the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, or the VIP and in any available port adapter
slot in all other systems.
Caution
Each port adapter circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD) damage.
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.
Statement 181
Tip
If a port adapter lever or other retaining mechanism does not move to the locked position, the port
adapter is not completely seated in the midplane. Carefully pull the port adapter halfway out of the slot,
reinsert it, and move the port adapter lever or other mechanism to the locked position.
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.
