Removing the slot panels
The chassis ships with a slot panel installed in each empty module slot, ensuring proper airflow
within the chassis. If you plan to install a module in a particular slot, you must first remove the slot
panel.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot panel in place. If you operate the
chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
Although the slot panels may differ in size, the procedure for removing them is the same. The
procedure in this section applies to all module slot panels.
You need a #2 Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver to perform this task.
To remove a slot panel, complete the following tasks.
1. Loosen the screws on either end of the slot panel with a #2 Phillips-head or flathead
screwdriver.
2. Pull the slot panel out of the chassis and store it in a safe place for future use.
