Installing Filler Panels

The front and rear filler panel accessories protect the inside of the chassis

and the installed modules by preventing unwanted material from entering

the chassis and damaging modules, or forming conductive paths that can

degrade performance. Install all modules first, then start installing filler

panels from the edge of a front panel.

Complete the following steps to install front filler panels:

1. Place the panel with the captive screws to the right of the chassis front.

Line up the screws with the threaded strip holes.

2. Using a flathead screwdriver, screw the captive screws into the

threaded strip holes.
