Installing a Port Adapter

Aligning the Port Adapter Metal Carrier Between the Slot Guides
Step 4
With the metal carrier aligned in the slot guides, gently slide the port adapter halfway into
the slot.
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.
Step 5
With the port adapter halfway in the slot, connect all required cables to the port adapter.
Step 6
After connecting the cables, carefully slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until
you feel the port adapter’s connectors make contact with the midplane.
Step 7
For a Cisco uBR7246, slide the port adapter retention clip to the locked position.
Figure 5-7 shows the retention clip in the locked position.
Note
If the retention clip does not slide up to the locked position, the port adapter is not
completely seated in the midplane. Slide the retention clip completely down to the
unlocked position. Carefully pull the port adapter halfway out of the slot, reinsert it, and
slide the retention clip up to the locked position.
