pack keying. Three keying combinations are provided. The key
mechanism is located on the faceplate latch with an interference
mechanism on the shelf.
The front of the wideband shelf is covered with an electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) cover, as shown in Figure 3-9. If the shelf needs to be accessed for
maintenance activities, the cover is hinged to drop down 180 degrees. The cover
can also be removed by tapping the door in when it is open and held horizontally
outward, until the hinge pops out of the hinge plate. The hinge pin can then be
lifted up and the door removed.
The back of the wideband shelf is covered by an cover over the circuit pack slots
on the backplane and a cover over the protection bus. All covers are necessary to
meet the EMC guidelines set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
