Back Covers
The Traverse shelf has removable back covers to provide access to the fiber optic
backplane, main backplane, and front inlet fan tray holder connector. The covers are
easily removed for cabling, but must be replaced during normal operation to ensure

1600 23-inch (584 mm) or Traverse 2000 19-inch (483 mm) rack installation. No
additional grounding procedures are required when installed in a properly grounded
telco rack.
