Step 8 Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam.
Step 9 Install a filler panel on an empty slot to keep the chassis dust-free and to maintain proper airflow through the chassis.
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous
voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt
other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system
unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029
Warning
Step 10 Insert a new supervisor module in the empty slot and power on the standby supervisor module. To see how to install a
