Installing the Components
7705 SAR-8 Installation Guide Page 103
To install an adapter card:
Step 1. Remove the adapter card from the packaging and place on an anti-static work surface. 
Avoid touching board components and connector pins.
With the ejector levers rotated inward, hold the adapter card by the levers, align the 
card with the slot guides, and slide the adapter card into the slot (see Figure 27). 
Step 2. Press the adapter card firmly into the slot. Make sure that the card connectors are 
seated in the backplane connectors and the faceplate is flush with the front of the 
chassis.
Step 3. Tighten the captive screws to secure the card. Do not over-tighten. The recommended 
torque is 4-6 lbf-in.
SFPs
A small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module can be installed on the 8-port Ethernet Adapter 
card, the 4-port OC3/STM1 Clear Channel Adapter card, and the 2-port OC3/STM1 
Channelized Adapter card.
Note: If the adapter card does not seat properly in the backplane, an ejector 
lever may not be completely rotated inward. Pull the card out half way, adjust 
the levers, and reinsert the card.
Note: The adapter card cannot be removed if the captive screws are 
tightened. To remove the adapter card, loosen the captive screws, rotate the 
ejector levers outward, and pull the adapter card out of the slot.
