Installing Line Cards into Slots 7 and 16

When you are ready to install a line card into Slot 7, you must remove the multislot
filler plate and the receptacle filler plate. You can use the single EMI-gasketed filler
plate removed from Slot 9 to cover empty Slot 8. Make sure the EMI gasket is on
the side of the filler panel that is opposite the receptacle. Use the same procedure
when installing a card into Slot 16. Once Slot 8 is filled, the filler plate used to
cover it can later be used to cover empty Slot 17. Whenever you are installing
additional line cards, you must always ensure that a filler plate covers the
remaining empty slots. This is necessary for EMI shielding and proper cooling.

install it in Slot 1. However, if you have used all your other DSL slots
(1–7 and 10–17), you can then install the last cards in Slots 8 and 18. Do not
install line cards into Slot A or B. If you are installing more than one line card,

NOTE:
Do not discard the unused single filler plate covering Slot 18. Each slot in the
chassis must contain a circuit card or be covered with a filler plate. Store all
unused filler plates in a safe place. You may need to use the filler plates to
cover open slots in the chassis at a later time. Covering empty slots is required
to maintain EMI shielding and proper cooling.
