    These cover plates play an important role in chassis airflow and temperature management. They also protect the switch’s processor board and other sensitive internal switch compo- nents from physical damage by closing off a chassis that is not fully populated. Because they regulate airflow and help protect internal chassis components, blank cover plates should remain installed over empty module slots and power supply bays at all times.
