NTP-G123 Installing the Filler Cards
This procedure explains how to install the filler cards
(blank faceplates). The filler card aids in maintaining
proper air flow and electro-magnetic interference
(EMI) requirements.

Blank faceplates (filler 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 and faceplates are in place. Statement 156
Warning
Always use the supplied ESD wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454. For detailed instructions
on how to wear the ESD wristband, refer to the Electrostatic Discharge and Grounding Guide for Cisco CPT
and Cisco ONS Platforms.
Caution
In an ONS 15454 shelf assembly, a filler card (Cisco P/N 15454-FILLER) can be installed in any unused
traffic or AIC-I card slots (Slots 1 through 6, 9, and 12 through 17). These cards are detected by CTC in
Software Release 6.0 and later.
Caution
In a ONS 15454 M6 shelf assembly, the line card fillers (15454-M-FILLER) can be installed in any unused
line card slots (Slots 1 through 7), and a control card filler (15454-MT-FILLER) can be installed in any unused
control card slot (Slot 1 or Slot 8). In an ONS 15454 M2 shelf assembly, the line card filler (15454-M-FILLER)
can be installed in any unused line card slots (Slot 2 or Slot 3). CTC does not detect the filler card in Release
9.2; however, CTC may detect it in later software releases.
