Getting Started

Install Empty Slot Panel Fillers

If you have any unused (empty) slots in your mainframe, you may install the empty slot Panel Fillers. Install either the single-wide or double-wide fillers that came with your mainframe.

Refer to Figure 1±12 for information on installing the slot fillers.

CAUTION. To avoid damage caused by heat use only Tektronix front panels; otherwise, the shutters may activate, effectively robbing airflow from installed modules. Installing the fillers provides improved cooling for installed modules, improved EMI shielding, and more accurate air temperature sensing to control the fan speeds.
