Installing the Blank Slot Covers
SwitchBlade x8112 Chassis Switch and AT-SBx81CFC400 Card Installation Guide
After installing the AT-SBx81CF400 Controller Fabric Cards and Ethernet
line cards, check the front panel for unused slots and cover them with the
blank slot covers included with the chassis, as explained in this procedure.
The fan module may not be able to maintain adequate airflow across the
control and line cards if the chassis is not completely enclosed. If there are
no unused slots, go to Chapter 8, "Installing Transceivers and Cabling the
Ports" on page 153.
To install the blank panels on the unused slots, perform the following
procedure:
1. Position a blank slot cover over an unused slot, as shown in Figure 90.
The up arrow on the panel must be pointing up.
