Step 3
Grasp the two handles on the dual-width port adapter and pull the port adapter from the
router midplane, about halfway out of its slot.
Note Make sure to use both handles of a dual-width port adapter when pulling the port
adapter from the midplane. 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 pull a dual-width port adapter from the midplane than is
required for a single-width port adapter.
Note As you disengage the port adapter from the midplane, OIR administratively shuts
down all active interfaces on the port adapter.
Step 4 With the port adapter halfway out of the slot, disconnect all cables from the port adapter.
Step 5 After disconnecting the cables, pull the port adapter from its chassis slot.
Caution Always handle the port adapter by the carrier edges and handles; never touch the port
adapter’s components or connector pins. (See Figure 3-3.)
Step 6 Place the port adapter on an antistatic surface with its components facing upward, or in a
static shielding bag. If the port adapter will be returned to the factory, immediately place
it in a static shielding bag.
This completes the procedure for removing a dual-width port adapter from a Cisco 7200 series
router.
