Preparing a Full-Height Line Card Slot

Remove Blanking Panels

You must remove the half-height blanking panels covering the upper and lower chassis slots, if installed.
Step 1
Identify the chassis slots in which the full-height line card will be installed.
Step 2 Use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to loosen the screws at the top and bottom of the blanking panel. Hold the screws on the
blanking panel, and pull the blanking panel away from the chassis to expose the chassis slot.
Step 3
Repeat step 2 to remove the half-height blanking panel covering the chassis slot directly below the slot exposed in the
previous step.
Caution:
reduces airflow through the chassis, which could cause it to overheat. Install a card or a blanking panel s in every
chassis slot.
On a powered up chassis, do not leave chassis slots uncovered for extended periods of time. This
