CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot ller panel in place. If you run the chassis
with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
NOTE
If you are hot-swapping a module, allow a minimum of two seconds after a module (or power supply or fan tray) has been
removed before inserting a module in the same slot.
Although the slot blanks dier in size, the procedure for removing them is identical. You will need a at-blade screwdriver to remove slot
blanks.
Follow these steps to remove a slot blank.
1. Loosen the screws on either end of the slot blank by hand or with a at-blade screwdriver.
2. Pull the slot blank out of the router, and store it in a safe place for future use.
Follow these steps to install a module.
