Removing Slot Adapters
To remove a slot adapter, use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive thumbscrew. Pull
the slot adapter straight out of the slot.
Tip Save the slot adapter for future use.
Installing Blank Faceplates
All network module slots must be covered by network module faceplates, blank faceplates, or slot
adapters for cooling, electromagnetic interference (EMI) reduction, and safety. The network module
hardware kit for Cisco 3800 series routers contains four blank faceplates. Each blank faceplate covers
one standard single-wide network module slot.
Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement

Figure 36 shows a blank faceplate for a network module slot.
Note To cover network module slots on Cisco 3800 series routers, use only the blank faceplate with captive
thumbscrews shown in
Figure 36 . Do not use blank faceplates with snap tabs.
