28 PA-5EFL Ethernet 10BASE-FL Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
Cisco 7200 Series and the 5EFL Port Adapter
Replacing a Port Adapter
Use the following standard procedure to install a new port adapter in a Cisco 7200 series router:
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventative wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.
Step 2
Use both hands to grasp the port adapter by its metal carrier edges and position the port
adapter so that its components are downward. (Refer to Figure 17).
Step 3
Align the left and right edge of the port adapter metal carrier between the guides in the
port adapter slot. (Refer to Figure 18.)

Step 4
With the metal carrier aligned in the slot guides, gently slide the port adapter halfway into
the slot.
Caution
Copy this entire text line and anchored frame marker and paste it on the body page. If you have
only one line of text, enter a soft return at the end of the text so that the icon isn’t too close to the next
paragraph.
Step 5
With the port adapter halfway in the slot, connect all required cables to the port adapter.
Step 6
After connecting all required port adapter cables, carefully slide the port adapter all the
way into the slot until you feel the port adapter’s connectors mate with the midplane.
