Step 4
Store the slot divider in a location where you can retrieve it for use later.
Note The port adapter slot divider is available from Cisco Systems as a spare. Use the
product number MAS-72KSLOTDIV= when ordering a spare port adapter slot divider.
This completes the procedure for removing a port adapter slot divider from a Cisco 7200 series
router.
Installing a Dual-Width Port Adapter
Following is the procedure for installing a dual-width port adapter in a Cisco 7200 series router:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.
Step 2 If necessary, remove the port adapter slot divider that divides the two port adapter slots
you are installing the dual-width port adapter into. (See the “Removing a Single-Width
Port Adapter” section on page 3-3 for instructions.)
Step 3 Use both hands to grasp the port adapter by its metal carrier edges and position the port
adapter so that its components are downward. (See Figure 3-3.)
Note Make sure to use both handles of a dual-width port adapter when installing the port
adapter. Dual-width port adapters have two connectors that seat the port adapter in the
midplane (single-width port adapters have one connector). Therefore, more effort is
required to seat a dual-width port adapter in the midplane than is required for a
single-width port adapter.
Step 4 Align the left and right edge of the port adapter metal carrier between the guides in the
port adapter slot. (See Figure 3-6.)
