Verify EMI Compliance
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 1029

Step1 If your switch has an (optional) front door, verify that the door is inst alled and closed and that each

empty slot is covered by a blank faceplate.

Step2 Install the ferrite bead if needed. Refer to “Installing the Ferrite Bead on the PXM-UI-S3/B Card”
