Replacing Filler Panels and Backplates 79
Table 4-1 identifies the module types supported by each chassis slot.
CAUTION: Appropriate backplates must be in place prior to installing
modules.
Replacing Filler Panels and Backplates
This section provides the replacement procedures for these items:
■ Filler Panels: Blank aluminum faceplates that occupy unused chassis
slots to ensure proper air flow over vital components.
■ Backplates: Aluminum plates that cover the back of each chassis slot
and enable CableOnce (blind-mate) connectivity to network modules.
Ensure that all unused chassis slots contain a filler panel and are covered by a
backplate. Backplates keep dust and debris out of the chassis slot, helps
maintain the cooling integrity of the system, and is required to meet FCC
compliance.
