Blank Cover Plates Blank cover plates are factory-installed in the chassis and are used to cover empty uplink and stacking module slots, as well as empty back up power supply bays. These cover plates play an important role in chassis airflow and temperature management. They also protect the switch's processor board and other sensitive internal switch components from physical damage by closing off a chassis that is not fully populated. Because they regulate airflow and help protect internal chassis components, blank cover plates should remain installed over empty module slots and power supply bays at all times. For detailed diagrams showing chassis airflow and the effects of missing blank cover plates on chassis airflow, refer to the Hardware Users Guide. March 2005 Setting Up the Hardware 21

Blank Cover Plates
Blank cover plates are factory-installed in the chassis and are
used to cover empty uplink and stacking module slots, as well
as empty back up power supply bays.
These cover plates play an important role in chassis airflow
and temperature management. They also protect the switch’s
processor board and other sensitive internal switch compo-
nents from physical damage by closing off a chassis that is not
fully populated.
Because they regulate airflow and help protect internal chassis
components, blank cover plates should remain installed over
empty module slots and power supply bays at all times.
For detailed diagrams showing chassis airflow and the effects
of missing blank cover plates on chassis airflow, refer to the
Hardware Users Guide
