Blank Slot Cover

If any of the line card or expansion slots in the Converteon™ chassis is unoccupied, it must be covered with a blank slot cover, to keep dust from getting into the chassis and to maintain proper airflow, cooling, and ventilation throughout the chassis.

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.

The AT-CV5PNL1 blank slot cover is designed to cover any unoccupied line card or management module slot in the Converteon™ Series chassis.

The AT-CV5000 chassis is shipped with 18 line card slots covered with the AT-CV5PNL1 blank slot covers.

To install an AT-CV5PNL1 blank slot cover, perform the following procedure:

1.Select the line card you want to remove from the chassis.

2.Disconnect the cables from all the ports in the line card.

3.Cover the fiber optic port with the dust cap.

4.Remove the line card from the slot as described in “Removing a Converteon™ Line Card” on page 74.

5.Insert the AT-CV5PNL1 slot cover into the slot you removed the line card from.

6.Align the back edge of the blank slot cover with the left and right alignment guides.
