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.
Remove the new port adapter from its antistatic container and position it at the opening
of the slot.
Carefully align the port adapter carrier between the upper and the lower edges of the port
adapter slot, as shown in Figure 3-5.
