Chapter 1: Overview

Blank Slot Covers

The AT-CV5PNLx Series blank slot covers are designed to maintain optimal, trouble-free environmental conditions for the modules used in the Converteon™ AT-CV5000 chassis. Every unoccupied slot on the chassis must be covered with a blank slot cover to prevent dust from entering the chassis and to maintain proper airflow, cooling, and ventilation throughout the chassis.

There are three AT-CV5PNLx Series blank slot covers:

ˆAT-CV5PNL1 – For line cards and AT-CV5M01 Management Card

ˆAT-CV5PNL2 – For power supply modules

ˆAT-CV5PNL3 – For the rear expansion slot

Note

Allied Telesis strongly recommends that a blank slot cover be inserted in any slot that does not contain a functioning line card or module.

To install a blank slot cover that was removed from the chassis, refer to “Installing a Blank Slot Cover” on page 90.
