SPA Blank Filler Plates
SPA blank filler plates are available to fill an unused SPA subslot.
When a SPA subslot is not in use, a SPA blank filler plate must be installed in the empty subslot to allow
the router or switch to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to
allow proper airflow across the SPAs. If you plan to install a new SPA in a subslot that is not in use, you
must first remove the SPA blank filler plate.
