2.7 Filler Cards
If a card slot is left empty, a filler card must be installed in the slot. The filler card serves three functions: it prevents exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis, it eliminates electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment, and it directs the flow of cooling air through the chassis.
Caution Do not operate the ONS
The blank card is a printed circuit board (PCB) with a blank faceplate and two rear connectors that plug into receptacles at the back of the slot. CTC detects when a filler card is plugged in and displays it in node view.
Figure 2-9 shows the filler card faceplate. This card is used in ONS 15310-MA SDH traffic card slots.
