Label and remove the Ethernet cable attached to the adapter that you are replacing. Remove the cover of the system, following the manufacturer's instructions. Remove the adapter. Replace the adapter with an identical adapter (the same manufacturer and the same model). Follow the instructions on page 210 to do so. Note the slot in which the adapter was installed. You install the new adapter into the same slot. If you cannot acquire the proper replacement, you must replace both adapters (one in each IOP). This requires removing the previous adapter (driver) and adding support for the new adapter.
