Removing a Port Adapter
PA-H HSSI Port Adapter Installation and Configuration6-2
Note The Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers support online insertion and
removal (OIR); therefore, you do not have to power down the Cisco uBR7200 series universal
broadband router when removing and replacing a PA-H.
When a port adapter slot is not in use, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot to allow the router
to conform to EMI emissions requirements and to allow proper air flow across the port adapters. If
you plan to install a new port adapter in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove a blank port
adapter.
Removing a Port Adapter
Take the following steps to remove a port adapter from Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband
routers:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.
Step 2 For the Cisco uBR7246, slide the port adapter retention clip down to the unlocked
position. The retention clip remains in the unlocked position. (See Figure 6-2.)
