These cover plates play an important role in chassis airflow and temperature management. They also provide protection for module processor boards and other sensitive internal switch components 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 at empty module slots and power supply bays at all times.

Caution. The MiniGBIC should slide in easily. Do not force it into the slot. If any resistance is encountered, ensure the MiniGBIC is aligned properly. Forcing the MiniGBIC into the slot can damage the unit, as well as components on your GNI module.

Note. To remove a MiniGBIC, you must first open the MiniGBIC’s hinged face to approximately ninety degrees. Then, grasp the hinged face and carefully pull the MiniGBIC straight out of the slot.
