Installing DSL Cards into Slots 1–6 and 10–17
If you are installing only one DSL card in the GranDSLAM chassis, it is
recommended that you use Slot 1 first, and then proceed to fill the other slots in
ascending numerical order (2–8 and 10–18). When you get to Slots 8 and 18, see
Installing DSL Cards into Slots 8 and 18
on page 2-21. Whenever you are
installing additional DSL cards, you must ensure that a filler plate covers the
remaining empty slots.
Filler Plate Removal, Adjustment and Reinstallation
The GranDSLAM chassis comes with the following filler plates installed:
Two single, 0.8-inch wide, EMI-gasketed filler plates (for Slots 9 and 18)
Two single, 1-inch wide, EMI-gasketed filler plates (for Slots A and B)
Two receptacle filler plates (for Slots 8 and 17)
Two multislot filler plates (for Slots 1 through 7 and 10 through 16)
If you are installing DSL cards in Slots 1 through 8, or 11 through 17, you will need
to remove a multislot filler plate. After installing the card, you will need to adjust the
remaining portion of the filler plate according to the number of cards being
installed, and then reinstall the filler plate. The following table of procedures will
serve as a reference.
