2.12.5Verify Slot Usage

Product Damage

Prevent possible damage to module components by verifying the proper slot usage for your configuration.

Check the icons and colored card rails for slot purpose prior to installing a module.

In most cases, connector keying will prevent insertion of a board into an incompatible slot. However, as an extra precaution, you should be familiar with the glyphs and colored card rails used to indicate slot purpose.

The following table lists the colors and glyphs common to ECC chassis.

Preserve EMI Compliance

To preserve compliance with applicable standards and regulations for electromagnetic interference (EMI), during operation all front and rear openings on the chassis or board face plates must be filled with an appropriate card or covered with a filler panel. If the EMI barrier is open, devices may cause or be susceptible to excessive interference.
