Handling Modular Port Adapters

Each modular port adapter (MPA) circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
Always handle the MPA by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the MPA components or connector
Caution
pins
When a bay is not in use, a blank ASR 9000 MPA Slot Filler (A9K-MPA-FILR) must fill the empty bay
to allow the router or switch to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements
and to allow proper airflow across the installed modules. If you plan to install a MPA in a bay that is not
in use, you must first remove the blank.
