Removing the filler panel
Remove the filler panel, if installed. There are three
filler panel types (Figure 20 (page 13)).
CAUTION: Remove a filler panel only when
installing or replacing a Director blade. All slots
that are not occupied by a Director blade
require a filler panel to ensure cooling of the
chassis and protection from dust.
To remove a filler panel with a handle:
1. Unscrew the two captive screws on the filler
panel.
2. Grasp the handle and remove the filler panel.
To remove a filler panel with ejectors:
1. Push in the yellow tab on each ejector.
2. Open both ejectors and remove the filler panel.
To remove a filler panel with pull tabs:
1. Unscrew the top and bottom captive screws on
the filler panel.
2. Grasp the top and bottom pull tabs and remove
the filler panel.
