Installing DSL Cards into Slots 7 and 16
When you are ready to install a DSL card into Slot 7, you must remove the
multislot filler plate and the receptacle filler plate. You can use the single
EMI-gasketed filler plate removed from Slot 9 to cover empty Slot 8. Make sure the
EMI gasket is on the side of the filler panel that is opposite the receptacle. Use the
same procedure when installing a card into Slot 16. Once Slot 8 is filled, the filler
plate used to cover it can later be used to cover empty Slot 17. Whenever you are
installing additional DSL cards, you must always ensure that a filler plate covers
the remaining empty slots. This is necessary for EMI shielding and proper cooling.
Installing DSL Cards into Slots 8 and 18
If you are installing only one DSL card in your GranDSLAM, it is recommended
that you install it in Slot 1. However, if you have used all your other DSL slots
(1–7 and 10–17), you can then install the last cards in Slots 8 and 18. Do not
install DSL cards into Slots 9, A, or B. If you are installing more than one DSL
card, see
Installing DSL Cards into Slots 1–6 and 10–17
Use a Phillips screwdriver to install the DSL card.
NOTE:
Do not discard the unused single filler plate covering Slot 18. Each slot in the
chassis must contain a circuit card or be covered with a filler plate. Store all
unused filler plates in a safe place. You may need to use the filler plates to
cover open slots in the chassis at a later time. Covering empty slots is required
to maintain EMI shielding and proper cooling.
