Powering Up the Cisco ASR 914 Router
• Empty card slots or card bays are filled with card blanks. This ensures proper air flow through the chassis
Powering Up the Cisco ASR 914 Router
Ensure that all card slots and compartments are closed. Install blank faceplates on any empty slots. Always
have power supply slots filled. If you leave a power supply slot uncovered, then you risk exposure to hazardous
voltages on the power pins on the midplane.
Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous
voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt
other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system
unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029
