Secure the blank faceplates
Press each faceplate home (until its front panel engages, or nearly engages,
the threaded holes inside the chassis).
Use the captive Phillips screws to secure each faceplate to the chassis (two
screws per faceplate).
Secure blank faceplates to all switch controller and line card bays that will not have
controllers or cards installed. The faceplates prevent dust and debris from entering the
switch and maintain proper airflow.
The switch may overheat or be damaged by dust and debris if bays are left
uncovered.

Installing A Fan Tray
Fan trays can be hot swapped. The switch will continue to operate for brief periods while
fan trays are exchanged.
Do not operate the switch for extended periods without an operational fan tray.
Doing so will cause the switch to overheat and shut down, and may also
damage the switch, switch controllers and line cards.
