When the SFM is nearly seated in the slot, be sure that
the two extractor levers—one on the left of the SFM and
one on the right—are slightly opened (approximately 30
degrees). This allows the notch on each extractor lever to
grasp the rail on the chassis. Once the notches have
grasped the rail, press both extractor levers inward simul-
taneously until the SFM is firmly seated.

Once the SFM is firmly seated, secure the SFM to the
chassis by tightening the two captive screws. Be sure not

exceed 2.3 inch pounds.

These cover plates play an important role in chassis airflow
and temperature management. They also provide protection for
module processor boards and other sensitive internal switch
components by closing off a chassis that is not fully populated.
Because they regulate airflow and help protect internal chassis
components, blank cover plates should remain installed at
empty module slots and power supply bays at all times.
