CAUTION
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot blank in place. If you run the router
with an uncovered slot, it may overheat. Tighten the screws that secure the slot blanks so that
they remain in place when removing adjacent panels or modules.
Although slot blanks differ in size, the procedure for removing them is the same. The procedure in
this section applies to all slot blanks. You will need a flat-blade screwdriver to perform this task.
Follow these steps to remove a slot blank:
1. Loosen the screws on each end of the slot blank by hand or with a flat-blade screwdriver.
