Pull the RJ45 jacks off the circuit boards (Figure 3), being careful not to stress the 
boards.  

4

 

Align the new RJ45 jacks on the connectors on the circuit boards. Note in Figure 3 
how the insulation displacement connectors in the jacks slide into the connectors on 
the circuit boards. 

5

 

Place the boards on a hard, flat surface; then push the RJ45 jacks onto the 
connectors on the boards. If firm pressure does not push the jack onto the 
connectors, realign the jack on the connectors before trying again.  

6

 

Reassemble the cases. 

7

 

If the adapters' performance was characterized when the adapters were new, use 
the results and the reference patch cord to check the adapters' performance. See 
Appendix A.
