Unoccupied card slots in the line card and RP card cage must have a blank filler
panel installed for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and to ensure proper air
flow through the chassis.
Repeat Step 2 for each line card.
Unoccupied card slots must have a blank filler panel installed for electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) and to ensure proper air flow through the chassis. If the
faceplate of a line card does not completely fill the card slot opening, a narrow
card filler panel must be installed for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and
to ensure proper air flow through the chassis.
Go to the "Connecting Line Card Network Interface Cables" section on page 3-36
to connect the network interface cables.
This section describes how to route the network interface cables through the
router cable-management system and attach the network interface cables to the
line card ports.
This procedure uses an 8-port fiber-optic Fast Ethernet card as an example to
describe how to attach a network interface cable to a line card port and route the
cable through the cable-management system. Depending on which line cards are
installed in your system, your cable connection procedure might differ slightly
from this example. For cable connection information for your specific line card,
refer to the installation and configuration note for that line card.
