Step 6
Remove the screw that secures the port adapter (or blank port adapter).
Step 7 With the screw removed, grasp the handle on the front of the port adapter (or blank port
adapter) and carefully pull it out of its slot, away from the edge connector at the rear of
the slot. (See Figure 4-3.)

Step 8
If you removed a port adapter, place it in an antistatic container for safe storage or
shipment back to the factory. If you removed a blank port adapter, no special handling is
required; however, store the blank port adapter for potential future use.
Step 9 Remove the new port adapter from its antistatic container and position it at the opening
of the slot. (See Figure 4-4.)
Caution To prevent jamming the carrier between the upper and lower edges of the port adapter slot,
and to assure that the edge connector at the rear of the port adapter mates with the connector at the
rear of the port adapter slot, make certain that the leading edges of the carrier are between the upper
and lower slot edges, as shown in the cutaway in Figure 4-4.
