2.9 Filler Card
The Filler card is used to fill unused optical (OC-N) traffic card slots in the ONS 15600 shelf. In
Software Release 1.1 and later, the Filler card has a card presence indicator (CPI) that allows the shelf
to report the presence of the filler card to CTC. The Filler card uses dummy backplane connectors and
a standard faceplate to secure the card in the empty s helf slot.
Figure 2-17 shows the Filler card body and faceplate.
