4.7 Installing the Filler Panels
To limit electromagnetic interference and ensure optimum ventilation inside the SDM-
9600 chassis, there should be no large openings in the chassis. Each unused slot on both
the front and rear of the chassis requires a filler panel (Part No. 161-1140-000) to control
the air flow.
Example:
An SDM-9600 installed with a single SDM-9606 blade requires 9 filler panels, 4 in the
empty front slots and 5 in the empty rear slots. See Figure 4-7 .
To install a filler panel:
1. Slide the filler panel through the slot opening, along the guide rails provided.
2. To secure the filler panel in place, press the 2 knurled M3 retention screws into the
panel, and tighten them by turning clockwise.
