Chassis ID card removal and replacement

Filler panels for the MM and SFM are the same. The filler panel for the line card slot is similar,
though larger. Both the MM/SFM panels and line card panels have two release pins and sliders.
The filler panel for the power supply slot is quite different, having only one release pin and slider.

1. Pull the release pin or pins out and simultaneously move the slider or sliders.

The entire face of the power supply filler panel is a slider and it moves upward to release the
panel.

The sliders for the MM/SFM and line card filler panels move toward the center of the panel to
release it.

2. Pull the filler panel out of the chassis using the release pins.

Replacing a filler panel

Do not leave a slot empty. This will adversely affect cooling of the chassis.

1. Orient the filler panel.

The MM/SFM and line card filler panels must be aligned with the slot guides.

The power supply filler panels simply fit into the slots.

2. Slide the filler panel into the slot until it is firmly seated.

The power supply panel may slide too far into the slot. Insert it only until the facing matches the
facing of the other power supplies or filler panels.

3. Move the sliders and release the release pins.

The release pins should retract completely.
