Installing and Removing a Shared Port Adapter
SPA Blank Filler Plates
SPA blank filler plates are available to fill an unused SPA bay (subslot).
When a SPA bay is not in use, a SPA blank filler plate must be installed in the empty bay to allow the router
or switch to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow
across the SPAs. If you plan to install a new SPA in a bay that is not in use, you must first remove the SPA
blank filler plate.
Installing SPA Cable-Management Brackets
SPAs are shipped with an accessory kit that includes cable-management brackets.
The figure below shows cable-management brackets installed in a SPA, as well as cable routing.
